WearVerifyRemoteApp only works on App resume

[saschTa]

The sample provided in WearVerifyRemoteApp
only works when a wear node is connected during onResume.

Unfortunately this will not handle a case, where user connects to his watch while app is running.

GMS does not provide any way to listen for wear nodes connecting/disconnecting continuously independent of their capabilities. This is required to tell if a install on watch UI is shown or not (More than 0 wear devices connected && 0 wear devices with capability X connected)

You should be able to use WearableListenerService to get events at any time

https://developers.google.com/android/reference/com/google/android/gms/wearable/WearableListenerService#onPeerConnected(com.google.android.gms.wearable.Node)

But thanks for flagging the problem in the sample app

On my devices (Android 12) this event never fires. Is there any special intentfilter that needs to be present?

Let me check, possibly com.google.android.gms.wearable.NODE_CHANGED ?
