I have downloaded and installed Android Studio 3.4.2. When I create a new Wear OS project the only available SDKs are 23 and later. I want to support older devices with SKD 22 or 23. I realise there has something to do with Android Wear converted to WearOS. How can I enable support for older SKDs? Is it only related to the WearOS templates?

There is no Wear 1.x device that run on SDK earlier than 23, that's why the minimum SDK version available is SDK 23

  • So if you are targeting 22 you use the normal activities and adjust them for small screens or there is a special kind of activity/template to use? – georgeok Aug 02 '19 at 13:18
  • There is no reason to target SDK 22 since no Wear device uses it. Targeting SDK 23 should be fine – matdev Aug 02 '19 at 13:24
