WatchFaceService and WatchFace are a pair of classes intended to handle much of the boilerplate needed to implement a watch face without being too opinionated. The suggested structure of a WatchFaceService based watch face is:

Sub classes of WatchFaceService are expected to implement createWatchFace which is the factory for making WatchFaces. If the watch faces uses complications then createComplicationSlotsManager should be overridden. All ComplicationSlots are assumed to be enumerated up upfront and passed as a collection into ComplicationSlotsManager's constructor which is returned by createComplicationSlotsManager.
WatchFaceServices are required to be stateless as multiple can be created in parallel. If per instance state is required please use StatefulWatchFaceService.
Watch face styling (color and visual look of watch face elements such as numeric fonts, watch hands and ticks, etc...) and companion editing is directly supported via UserStyleSchema and UserStyleSetting. To enable support for styling override createUserStyleSchema.
WatchFaceService can expose pre-populated style presets by overriding createUserStyleFlavors or via XML (see below). Each presents represents separate style configured with UserStyle and complication slot policies configured with androidx.wear.watchface.complications.DefaultComplicationDataSourcePolicy. The system will only access flavors if metadata tag is present in manifest:
<meta-data
android:name="androidx.wear.watchface.FLAVORS_SUPPORTED"
android:value="true" />
WatchFaces are initially constructed on a background thread before being used exclusively on the ui thread afterwards. There is a memory barrier between construction and rendering so no special threading primitives are required.
To aid debugging watch face animations, WatchFaceService allows you to speed up or slow down time, and to loop between two instants. This is controlled by MOCK_TIME_INTENT intents with a float extra called "androidx.wear.watchface.extra.MOCK_TIME_SPEED_MULTIPLIE" and to long extras called "androidx.wear.watchface.extra.MOCK_TIME_WRAPPING_MIN_TIME" and "androidx.wear.watchface.extra.MOCK_TIME_WRAPPING_MAX_TIME" (which are UTC time in milliseconds). If minTime is omitted or set to -1 then the current time is sampled as minTime.
E.g., to make time go twice as fast: adb shell am broadcast -a androidx.wear.watchface.MockTime
--ef androidx.wear.watchface.extra.MOCK_TIME_SPEED_MULTIPLIER 2.0
To use the sample on watch face editor UI, import the wear:wear-watchface-editor-samples library and add the following into your watch face's AndroidManifest.xml:
<activity
android:name="androidx.wear.watchface.editor.sample.WatchFaceConfigActivity"
android:exported="true"
android:label="Config"
android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Translucent.NoTitleBar">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="androidx.wear.watchface.editor.action.WATCH_FACE_EDITOR" />
<category android:name=
"com.google.android.wearable.watchface.category.WEARABLE_CONFIGURATION" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
To register a WatchFaceService with the system add a
<service
android:name=".MyWatchFaceServiceClass"
android:exported="true"
android:label="@string/watch_face_name"
android:permission="android.permission.BIND_WALLPAPER">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.service.wallpaper.WallpaperService" />
<category android:name="com.google.android.wearable.watchface.category.WATCH_FACE" />
</intent-filter>
<meta-data
android:name="com.google.android.wearable.watchface.preview"
android:resource="@drawable/my_watch_preview" />
<meta-data
android:name="com.google.android.wearable.watchface.preview_circular"
android:resource="@drawable/my_watch_circular_preview" />
<meta-data
android:name="com.google.android.wearable.watchface.wearableConfigurationAction"
android:value="androidx.wear.watchface.editor.action.WATCH_FACE_EDITOR"/>
<meta-data
android:name="android.service.wallpaper"
android:resource="@xml/watch_face" />
<meta-data
android:name=
"com.google.android.wearable.watchface.companionBuiltinConfigurationEnabled"
android:value="true" />
</service>
Multiple watch faces can be defined in the same package, requiring multiple
By default the system will only allow the user to create a single instance of the watch face. You can choose to allow the user to create multiple instances (each with their own styling and a distinct WatchState.watchFaceInstanceId) by adding this meta-data to your watch face's manifest:
<meta-data
android:name="androidx.wear.watchface.MULTIPLE_INSTANCES_ALLOWED"
android:value="true" />
A watch face can declare the UserStyleSchema, ComplicationSlots and UserStyleFlavors in XML. The main advantage is simplicity for the developer, however meta data queries (see androidx.wear.watchface.client.WatchFaceMetadataClient) are faster because they can be performed without having to bind to the WatchFaceService.
To use xml inflation, add an androidx.wear.watchface.XmlSchemaAndComplicationSlotsDefinition meta date tag to your service:
<meta-data
android:name="androidx.wear.watchface.XmlSchemaAndComplicationSlotsDefinition"
android:resource="@xml/my_watchface_definition" />
And the linked xml/my_watchface_definition resource must contain a XmlWatchFace node. E.g.:
<XmlWatchFace xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto">
<UserStyleSchema>
<ListUserStyleSetting
android:icon="@drawable/time_style_icon"
app:affectedWatchFaceLayers="BASE|COMPLICATIONS|COMPLICATIONS_OVERLAY"
app:defaultOptionIndex="1"
app:description="@string/time_style_description"
app:displayName="@string/time_style_name"
app:id="TimeStyle">
<ListOption
android:icon="@drawable/time_style_minimal_icon"
app:displayName="@string/time_style_minimal_name"
app:id="minimal" />
<ListOption
android:icon="@drawable/time_style_seconds_icon"
app:displayName="@string/time_style_seconds_name"
app:id="seconds" />
</ListUserStyleSetting>
</UserStyleSchema>
</ComplicationSlot>
app:slotId="1"
app:boundsType="ROUND_RECT"
app:supportedTypes="SHORT_TEXT|RANGED_VALUE|SMALL_IMAGE"
app:defaultDataSourceType="RANGED_VALUE"
app:systemDataSourceFallback="DATA_SOURCE_WATCH_BATTERY">
<ComplicationSlotBounds
app:left="0.3" app:top="0.7" app:right="0.7" app:bottom="0.9"/>
</ComplicationSlot>
<UserStyleFlavors>
<UserStyleFlavor app:id="flavor1">
<StyleOption app:id="TimeStyle" app:value="minimal"/>
<ComplicationPolicy
app:slotId="1"
app:primaryDataSource="com.package/com.app"
app:primaryDataSourceDefaultType="SHORT_TEXT"
app:systemDataSourceFallback="DATA_SOURCE_DAY_AND_DATE"
app:systemDataSourceFallbackDefaultType="SHORT_TEXT"/>
</UserStyleFlavor>
</UserStyleFlavors>
</XmlWatchFace>
If you use resources references to specify identifiers, they should be locale independent (i.e. translatable="false").
If you use XmlSchemaAndComplicationSlotsDefinition then you shouldn't override createUserStyleSchema or createComplicationSlotsManager. However if getComplicationSlotInflationFactory in order to provide the CanvasComplicationFactory and where necessary edge complication ComplicationTapFilters.
Note the Bundle can not be inflated from XML.
Note it is an error to define a XmlSchemaAndComplicationSlotsDefinition and not use it.
As of Wear OS 4, complications can provide data using dynamic values, that the platform evaluates continuously and sends the evaluated results to the watch face. Privileged watch faces that can utilize the unevaluated dynamic values, can include the privileged permission com.google.wear.permission.GET_COMPLICATION_DYNAMIC_VALUE in their manifest, which will tell the system to avoid pruning them from the ComplicationData, where they will show up in the relevant fields next to the evaluated values.

createComplicationSlotsManager
@WorkerThread
protected open funcreateComplicationSlotsManager(
currentUserStyleRepository: CurrentUserStyleRepository
): ComplicationSlotsManager
If the WatchFaceService's manifest doesn't define a androidx.wear.watchface.XmlSchemaAndComplicationSlotsDefinition meta data tag then override this factory method to create a non-empty ComplicationSlotsManager. This manager will be passed to createUserStyleFlavors and createWatchFace. This will be called from a background thread but the ComplicationSlotsManager should be accessed exclusively from the UiThread afterwards.

If the WatchFaceService's manifest doesn't define a androidx.wear.watchface.XmlSchemaAndComplicationSlotsDefinition meta data tag then override this factory method to create non-empty UserStyleFlavors. This is called on a background thread. The system reads the flavors once and changes may be ignored until the APK is updated. Metadata tag "androidx.wear.watchface.FLAVORS_SUPPORTED" should be added to let the system know the service supports flavors.

createWatchFace
@WorkerThread
protected abstract suspend funcreateWatchFace(
surfaceHolder: SurfaceHolder,
watchState: WatchState,
complicationSlotsManager: ComplicationSlotsManager,
currentUserStyleRepository: CurrentUserStyleRepository
): WatchFace
Override this factory method to create your WatchFaceImpl. This method will be called by the library on a background thread, if possible any expensive initialization should be done asynchronously. The WatchFace and its Renderer should be accessed exclusively from the UiThread afterwards. There is a memory barrier between construction and rendering so no special threading primitives are required.
Warning the system will likely time out waiting for watch face initialization if it takes longer than MAX_CREATE_WATCHFACE_TIME_MILLIS milliseconds.
