[SOLVED] Android studio Iguana wear OS project only in kotlin

Android studio Iguana wear OS project only in kotlin

Is it my fault or is there no longer the possibility to create a Java project for Wear OS in Android Studio Iguana?

Solution

Since Android Studio Giraffe Google removed the templates for Java/View for wear os... The reason is that google is trying (and getting it) to replace java with kotlin/compose, but it doesn't mean you can't create a java project for wear os.

How to create: 1 - Create a "No activity" project; 2 - Right click on the project folder > New > Activity > Empty view activity; 3 - Check the manifest to see if the activity tag has been created, if not you can should add it...

    <activity
        android:name="packagePathHere.ClassName"
        android:exported="true" >
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
        </intent-filter>
    </activity>
