Installation

With Cordova CLI, from npm:

$ cordova plugin add cordova-galaxygear
$ cordova prepare

Usage

1. Install the plugin in your Cordova project.

2. Add a res/xml/assessoryservices.xml file to your Tizen project with the following

<resources>
    <application name="CordovaGearConsumer" >
        <serviceProfile
            id="/system/cordovagearprovider"
            name="cordovagearprovider"
            role="consumer"
            version="2.0" >
            
            <supportedTransports>
                <transport type="TRANSPORT_BT" />
            </supportedTransports>

            <serviceChannel
                id="104"
                dataRate="low"
                priority="low"
                reliability="enable" >
            </serviceChannel>
        </serviceProfile>
    </application>
</resources>

3. Modify the config.xml file in your Tizen project and add the following under the <widget> node

<tizen:metadata key="AccessoryServicesLocation" value="res/xml/accessoryservices.xml"/>
<tizen:privilege name="http://developer.samsung.com/privilege/accessoryprotocol"/>

A great example of this is the Hello Accessory example from the SDK

Example

GalaxyGear.onConnect(function(e) {
	alert("Connection Successfully Established - handle: " + e.handle);
	
	GalaxyGear.onDataReceived(e.handle, function(e) {
		alert("Data received - handle: " + e.handle + " data: "+ e.data);
	});
	
	GalaxyGear.sendData(e.handle, "Hello From Cordova!");
});
