building the watch golf app gives a bunch of errors

[tjthejuggler]

All I did is cloned and built exactly as it is and I get this, is there something I am overlooking?

It looks like the Android Golf companion app is really old too. It is using gradle 2.2 and modern Android Studio won't even let you go back that far. Does Garmin offer any simple sample app that demonstrates how to send data from a watch to a companion app? This is the project they recommend on their website.

[TravisConnectIQ]

The disk-golf-iq app hasn't been updated to support type checking. You can disable type checking to build, or you could make a patch for us.

I think this is probably a good reminder for us to enable continuous integration for this project.

[TravisConnectIQ]

As for the second question, I'm not sure. I've have zero experience with companion apps.

The mobile SDK hasn't changed in quite a while. I'd be very surprised if you couldn't just update the project to use a supported version of Gradle to move forward.

[tjthejuggler]

Thanks so much for the response. I am not very experienced with either language and was really just hoping for something working that I would be able to modify into what I wanted. As you said, I was able to get the android app working by modifying the gradle, unfortunately it is still crashing before it would even be connecting to the watch app.

I am having more luck using code from the "Sleep as Android" apps right now, but if I get stuck with that I may come back and try to fix this disc golf code.
