Basic Android Wear (or Apple Watch) app support
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. It's a bit of a hassle to see the active exercise timer and the rest timer by opening the app between sets every time.
Describe the solution you'd like Basically, a simple complementary app for watch which basically shows active exercise and the timer. The app screen will allow user to
- Mark a set as completed or fill the weights
- See the rest or exercise timer without having to check the phone
Additional context I think it's a bit cumbersome to have to constantly open the app to complete a set and also to have a look at the timer. If the timer was on the watch it will make it a lot more seamless and additionally, make it easier to see the live information.
Wouldn't this be solved with a running notification which shows the countdown timer? That's how most apps do it. I am yet to dabble with LiftLog so wasn't sure if it does it like that or not.
G'day guys, I've been poking at this recently (due to android updating and bugging out the rest timers anyway).
Some things I've found: Recent android updates have done away with the idea of persistent notifications - this does make it a little trickier since if you swipe it away its gone. We likely want to move to a foreground service for timers, rather than just relying on the SCHEDULE_EXACT_ALARM perm (which seems buggy when the user updates their OS).
As for WearOS/Apple watch support, it's not directly built into react native so there's a bit of unknowns there for me - especially as I don't own either. I'd love to get it in, and it would likely tie to a notification redesign
