sony-smarteyeglass change layout parameters dynamically

Question

I am trying to change line count and TextSize in my text view on SmartEyeglass dynamically. I am calling showLayout() in my ControlExtension to show the layout on the glasses and then sendText() when my text changes. But I don't know how I can send layout instructions like setTextSize for example. or auto calling setMovementMethod() on the TextView to auto scroll down.

My only idea for those dynamic layout changes would be to create the whole layout in my ControlExtension, edit and render it there and send it as bitmap to the glasses as it changes . But they state in their documentation you shouldn't do it in the new API (4) and use the layout functions instead (showlayout and sendText)

Has anybody found a way to send dynamic layout information to the glasses?

Answer 1

Your idea is the right way to go. To change the text size or position dynamically you will need to create your layout in code and then call showBitmap() to redraw the layout each time.
