Android Wear Preview not connecting to Wear Emulator


I am trying to setup my development environment for Google Wear and have followed Google's instructions but as soon as I setup the port forwarding (adb -d forward tcp:5601 tcp:5601) I am getting an error on the device;

Connection closed, waiting before trying again

I have the emulator running on the PC and Android device is a Nexus 4, 4.4.4.

Solution

  • If you've updated everything, and have the new emulator, you might need Android Wear (not Android Wear Preview). Follow these steps: http://developer.android.com/preview/google-play-services-wear.html

    You may have done this recently, but now that Google Play Services 5.0, and Android Wear is out (unofficially) it's worth trying again to get the latest updates.

    OR, you may just need to click that emulator button in the screenshot, to let the app know you're connecting to an emulator.
