[HowTo] Google Handwriting Input on Android Wear

maybe you missed this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android-wear/development/how-enable-keyboard-via-adb-t3083945

You need:

• enable developer options on the watch

• enable adb debugging on the watch

• adb on PC

not covered here:

• adb over BT
• authorize your computer for adb connection

Step by step:

adb devices -l
adb install HWI.apk
adb shell
ime enable com.google.android.apps.handwriting.ime/.HandwritingIME
ime set    com.google.android.apps.handwriting.ime/.HandwritingIME
exit

Start it on the watch.

1. enabled should be checked
2. download your language specific data files (German was ~8.1 MB)
3. selected should be checked

In the input box labelled "Ready to try" (or so) you can test it.

Tested on:

Sony Smartwatch 3 (SW3, SWR50)

I have no idea how good/bad it will work on a round watch.

abbr.:

• abbr. = abbreviations
• adb = android debug bridge
• BT = BlueTooth
• HWI = handwriting input
