We have already deployed a [phone + scanner] based app for our client but, now we are thinking of deploying a [wear + scanner] solution. However, we are not sure whether the wear app can function independently of the phone.

To put it simply, we want to connect our bluetooth scanner Motorola RS507 to watch and then use the on-site wifi to connect to internet. Can the pairing be done easily? Can wear operate in this use case ?

  • Thanks, as far as I understood, that post focuses more on reliable data transfer b/w phone+wear over bluetooth/wifi. We however, intend to use wear (+ scanner) independently. Also, one comment said : "2. Stick to Data Layer API , you cannot send http request directly from watch. Fetch internet data from the phone, then transfer it to watch with Data Layer API.". Is that written in stone ? – Shaishav Oct 26 '15 at 07:19

  • Nope, we figured we need to buy 'newer' scanner...so, project put on hold now.If you ever figure it out please do post the answer. – Shaishav Sep 15 '16 at 18:45
