Want to create apps for google glass.

I want to create a new app from the beginning in eclipse using java.

I have android sdk, Google app engine, maven with my eclipse.

Then how I start?

Google quick start tutorial is little bit clumsy.

I just want to make a timeline card and want to pass value "Hello World".

Then want to view from my Google glass.

Solution

  • Update: GDK Preview 11/19/13

    https://developers.google.com/glass/develop/gdk/index

    And Finally: here is how to hello world in Glass..

    • Create a basic hello world apk.
    • Install the apk on glass by following this link.

    The official GoogleGlassDevelopment kit is not yet available for all developers. But developers are developing in the following ways:

    Google Mirror Api:

    Can be developed using java, .net, php, ruby, python and google go. The developers can access the mirror API, and google servers will talk to the Glass.

    enter image description here

    This way, we cannot access the hardware features of the Glass. Mirror API is mainly to website kind of info.

    Android SDK:

    Developers can develop with android sdk version 15.(ICS) and run the app directly using the same tools(eclipse/ android studio). link

    The hardware available: enter image description here

    All the above hardware can be used with the same api available in ICS and above, Except touchpad and the transparent display. For those API, we must wait till GDK releases.
