Google Keep 2.3 Update Adds Support For Android Wear [APK Download]

Just one day after Google’s expanded introduction of Android Wear at I/O, one of the apps demonstrated in the keynote is being updated to support it. Most of us can’t get our hands on the LG G Watch or the Samsung Gear Live until July, but for those who actually attended I/O, and who have one or the other as some awesome swag, the latest update to Google’s Keep notation and reminder app will be a welcome one.

What’s New

The Play Store page hasn’t been updated yet, but Keep tends to let users know what’s new in a one-time alert when they open the app. The only item in the alert for version 2.3 is Wear compatibility. If you happen to have a Wear device, Keep alerts should appear on it automatically.

Looking at the changed code, we can see the specific additions required for Wear functionality in the AndroidManifest.xml file.

<service android:name=”.notification.WearableNotificationOpenService”/>

<service android:name=”.notification.WearableArchiveService”/>

Â Â Â Â Â Â Â <service android:name=”.microapp.WearableService”>

Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â <intent-filter>

Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â <action android:name=”com.google.android.gms.wearable.BIND_LISTENER”/>

Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â </intent-filter>

Â Â Â Â Â Â Â </service>

Â Â Â Â Â Â Â <service android:name=”.microapp.WearableAccountChangedService”/>

Â Â Â Â Â Â Â <receiver android:name=”.microapp.DataChangedReceiver”>

Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â <intent-filter>

Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â <action android:name=”com.google.android.keep.intent.action.PROVIDER_CHANGED”/>

Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â </intent-filter>

Â Â Â Â Â Â Â </receiver>

Â Â Â Â Â Â Â <meta-data android:name=”com.google.android.wearable.beta.app” android:resource=”@xml/micro_app_desc”/>

Â Â Â Â Â Â Â <activity android:name=”.activities.RecentRemindersActivity” android:parentActivityName=”.activities.BrowseActivity” android:theme=”@style/KeepAppTheme”>

Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â <meta-data android:name=”android.support.PARENT_ACTIVITY” android:value=”.activities.BrowseActivity”/>

Â Â Â Â Â Â Â </activity>

There’s also a single string dedicated to audio playback, but since it’s all by its lonesome, it may be groundwork for a future update.

Â Â Â <string name=”ga_action_playback_audio”>Play Back Audio</string>
