Modifies the Wear OS app install flow from a Play store on phone approach, to a Play store on watch approach.

Previously, tapping on the Install Androidify button in the watch face bottom sheet would launch Play on the phone. However, this is challenging as there are then a couple of steps required in order for the user to target the watch from the Play phone app.

Instead, when tapping the install button the user will now see this:

and the Play store will be opened on the watch, allowing installation to continue from there:

Once the installation has completed, the existing phone Androidify functionality detects the presence of the Wear OS app, and automatically transitions the bottom sheet to the watch face selection view.

Summary of Changes

Hello @garanj, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request significantly enhances the user experience for installing the Androidify Wear OS app by shifting the installation initiation from the phone's Play Store to a direct launch on the watch. This change addresses previous friction points where users had to manually navigate the Play Store on their phone to target the watch, making the process much more efficient and user-friendly. The update also ensures a smooth transition within the phone app once the watch app is installed.

Highlights

  • Improved Wear OS App Installation Flow: The installation process for the Wear OS app has been streamlined. Instead of launching the Play Store on the phone, which required several manual steps to target the watch, the new flow directly opens the Play Store on the connected Wear OS device.
  • Direct Watch Play Store Launch: Tapping the 'Install Androidify' button now triggers a remote activity to open the Play Store directly on the watch, making the installation more intuitive and user-friendly.
  • Automatic Transition Post-Installation: Once the Wear OS app installation is complete, the phone's Androidify functionality automatically detects its presence and transitions the bottom sheet to the watch face selection view, providing a seamless user experience.

Code Review

This pull request effectively refactors the Wear OS app installation flow to be initiated from the watch, which is a great UX improvement. The code changes are well-organized, propagating the new click handler through the UI layers to the ViewModel and repository. My review includes a few suggestions to enhance robustness and maintainability:

  • I've pointed out a missing error handling case that could lead to an app crash.
  • I've suggested a way to improve the user experience by allowing retries on installation failure.
  • There's also a minor API design suggestion to reduce redundancy by using an already injected dependency.

Overall, this is a solid contribution. Addressing these points will make the implementation more resilient.
