Android Wear companion activity gear does not show up in watch face - configuration

Question

I wanted to provide a Companion Configuration Activity for my Android Wear watch face. I have already build the app that has all the configuration and can communicate directly with the watch face, but I can only launch it from the launcher as app, but the gear does not show up in the watch face section of Android Wear app! Can I allow user to configure the watch face via companion app and also via Google Android Wear app?
This is how I declare my activity in phone module:
<activity
android:name=".Main"
android:label="#string/app_name">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="com.google.android.wearable.watchface.category.COMPANION_CONFIGURATION" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.SEND"></action>
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"></category>
<data android:mimeType="image/*"></data>
</intent-filter>
</activity>
On the watch part, I added in:
<meta-data
android:name=
"com.google.android.wearable.watchface.companionConfigurationAction"
android:value=
"virtualgs.photowatch.Main" />
<meta-data
android:name=
"com.google.android.wearable.watchface.wearableConfigurationAction"
android:value=
"virtualgs.photowatch.Main" />
And the result is the same - no gear shown on the Android Wear app.

Answer 1

Try something like this:
Phone Manifest:
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="com.virtualgs.photowatch.MAIN_CONFIG" />
<category android:name="com.google.android.wearable.watchface.category.COMPANION_CONFIGURATION" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
</intent-filter>
Watch Manifest:
<meta-data
android:name="com.google.android.wearable.watchface.companionConfigurationAction"
android:value="com.virtualgs.photowatch.MAIN_CONFIG" />
I think the intent action in the phone manifest has to be the same as the meta-data value in the watch manifest to work.

Answer 2

I think this is the correct answer about XML file config:
<activity
android:name=".DigitalWatchFaceWearableConfigActivity"
android:label="#string/digital_config_name">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name=
"com.example.android.wearable.watchface.CONFIG_DIGITAL" />
<category android:name=
"com.google.android.wearable.watchface.category.WEARABLE_CONFIGURATION" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
</intent-filter>

Answer 3

As well as having the activity defined in the phone module, you need to reference it in the wear module as part of the declaration of your watch face service like this:
<service
android:name=".MyWatchFaceService" ... />
<!-- companion configuration activity -->
<meta-data
android:name=
"com.google.android.wearable.watchface.companionConfigurationAction"
android:value=
"com.my.watchface.CompanionConfigurationActivity" />
<!-- wearable configuration activity -->
<meta-data
android:name=
"com.google.android.wearable.watchface.wearableConfigurationAction"
android:value=
"com.my.watchface.WearableConfigurationActivity" />
...
Replacing com.my.watchface.CompanionConfigurationActivity and com.my.watchface.WearableConfigurationActivity with the fully qualified names of the configuration activities in the wear and phone modules respectively.
