Unable to start the app with Accessory service

Mobile Galaxy Accessory
1

I used the sample app and the documentation file (ProgrammingGuide_Accessory_v2.6.4.pdf) to create my Android app. The big difference is that in my case it is a Xamarin application but it should be a little difference. I don’t understand why Galaxy Accessory gets into endless loop with a fatal error. The log shows it:

What all that means? What am I missing? What is “Service record was not found in Accessory Framework”?

Hello @kuc1597989013 ,
We are very sorry to hear about your inconvenience. Samsung Accessory Protocol (SAP) SDK only works on supported Samsung Galaxy devices. Based on the 4th line of the log shared:

it seems like you are trying to run your SAP SDK powered application on a non-Samsung phone. We would like to request you to run your app on a Samsung Device and share the following if you are still facing issues:

  1. Device Model Number
  2. SAP SDK version
  3. Software Version
  4. Error logs

Best Regards,
Shuvo
Samsung Developer Program

I, actually, figured out what was the problem. The line you mentioned has nothing to do with that. The main problem is stated on this line

01-31 18:20:23.182 E/[SA_SDK]c(27195): fetchServicesDescription: Class not found in registered listcrc646826f8d756ce5e4a.DataProviderService

The class name registered in the /res/xml/accessory_services.xml didn’t match the class name in the code.

There is one thing that surprised me in your response. Do you mean that SAP will not work on other phones but Samsung? I thought that the Samsung Watch can work, can connect to any Android phone and I assumed that SAP should work on any Android phone allowing the watch to communicate to the provider running on the phone. If it is not true how can I create the communication channel lets say between LG Android phone and the Samsung Watch (Gear S3)?

Just came here to say the exact same thing happened to me.

I recently refactored and reorganized our entire Android codebase to move some files to different packages and just organize the project better. I forgot to update accessoryservices.xml with the updated package name for the TizenConsumerService.

Heard from users that the watch app wasn’t working. Updated the xml file and everything back to normal.

I can’t wait until Tizen dies and this is all WearOS. The day I get to delete Visual Studio from my Mac, and our entire Tizen code repo will be a glorious day indeed.
