requires unavailable shared library com.google.android.glass;

I have tried to install and run the compass sample project from

glass developers site.

I get the following error

when try installing on non-rooted devices (nexsus4, galaxy note2):

requires unavailable shared library com.google.android.glass; failing!

I have tried to remove this from the manifest,

but now the apk seems to be installed but nothing is really added to the device

Solution

  • As far as I know you can't run glassware on a standard Android device.

    Hence glassware requires api's found only in Google glass

    I found a workaround to run glassware on an Android device. This will add the required api's to your Android device through apk's. Haven't tried it myself.
