I have problem integrating GDK Glassware and Mirror API Glassware as described here. I need to open GDK glassware application using Mirroe api Glassware app MenuItem. Can I send data bundle with intent. Does anybody have an idea about that.

Thank you.

    Nice question, is it possible to pass data from timeline card to native app, like we do in normal android using bundle? – Amalan Dhananjayan Jan 07 '14 at 09:06

I have finally figured out a way to do that

  1. First add your custom scheme to android activity tag in AndroidManifest.xml

     
  <activity
        android:name="com.sanath.MainActivity"
        android:label="@string/app_name" >
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
            <action android:name="com.google.android.glass.action.VOICE_TRIGGER" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
        </intent-filter>
        <intent-filter>
          <data android:scheme="com.sanath.scheme" />
          <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
          <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
        </intent-filter>
        <meta-data android:name="com.google.android.glass.VoiceTrigger"
        android:resource="@xml/vision_voice_trigger" />
    </activity>

  2. Then in Glassware timeline MenuItem add like following 

    
new MenuItem(){
Action = "OPEN_URI",
Payload = "com.sanath.scheme://open/Welcome/2014",
Values = new MenuValue[]
        {
         new MenuValue()
         {
            DisplayName  = "Open",
            State = "DEFAULT"
         },
         new MenuValue()
         {
            DisplayName  = "Launching",
            State = "PENDING"
         },
         new MenuValue()
         {
             DisplayName  = "Launched",
             State = "CONFIRMED"
         },
         },
        },
    }

  3. Then inside your Activity OnCreate method you can get data as following 

    
   Uri data = getIntent().getData();
        List params = data.getPathSegments();
        String param0 = params.get(0); // "welcome"
        String param1 = params.get(1); //"2014"

    String welcomeMsg = param0+" to "+param1;

    /*show time line card
     * */
    Card welcomeCard =new Card(this);
    welcomeCard.setText(welcomeMsg);
    welcomeCard.setFootnote(param1);
    View view =welcomeCard.toView();

    setContentView(view);

Hope this will help others

It is not possible to provide data through bundle, but you can use query parameters or hash fragment in your URI to provide the necessary data.

Example:

myscheme://<SOME_PATH>?param1=value1&param2&value2

Then, in your GDK Glassware, simply parse the query parameters and process their values.
