Transferring assets : Error code 4005 ASSET_UNAVAILABLE - wear-os

Question

This is driving me crazy. I wrote a code quite a while ago that was working, and opened it again and it happens that I am not able to transfer my assets from the mobile to the wearable device.
public Bitmap loadBitmapFromAsset(Asset asset) {
if (asset == null) {
throw new IllegalArgumentException("Asset must be non-null");
}
// convert asset into a file descriptor and block until it's ready
Log.d(TAG, "api client" + mApiClient);
DataApi.GetFdForAssetResult result = Wearable.DataApi.getFdForAsset(mApiClient, asset).await();
if (result == null) {
Log.w(TAG, "getFdForAsset returned null");
return null;
}
if (result.getStatus().isSuccess()) {
Log.d(TAG, "success");
} else {
Log.d(TAG, result.getStatus().getStatusCode() + ":" + result.getStatus().getStatusMessage());
}
InputStream assetInputStream = result.getInputStream();
if (assetInputStream == null) {
Log.w(TAG, "Requested an unknown Asset.");
return null;
}
// decode the stream into a bitmap
return BitmapFactory.decodeStream(assetInputStream);
}
And this is the code from which I call the loadBitmapFrom Asset method.
DataMap dataMap = DataMapItem.fromDataItem(event.getDataItem()).getDataMap();
ArrayList<DataMap> dataMaps = dataMap.getDataMapArrayList("dataMaps");
ArrayList<String> names = new ArrayList<>();
ArrayList<String> permalinks = new ArrayList<>();
ArrayList<Asset> images = new ArrayList<>();
for (int i = 0 ; i < dataMaps.size() ; i++) {
Log.d(TAG, dataMaps.get(i).getString("name"));
names.add(dataMaps.get(i).getString("name"));
permalinks.add(dataMaps.get(i).getString("permalink"));
images.add(dataMaps.get(i).getAsset("image"));
}
editor.putInt("my_selection_size", names.size());
for (int i=0; i <names.size() ; i++) {
editor.putString("my_selection_name_" + i, names.get(i));
editor.putString("my_selection_permalink_" + i, permalinks.get(i));
Log.d(TAG, "asset number " + i + " " + images.get(i));
Bitmap bitmap = loadBitmapFromAsset(images.get(i));
ByteArrayOutputStream stream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 100, stream);
byte[] byteArray = stream.toByteArray();
String encoded = Base64.encodeToString(byteArray, Base64.DEFAULT);
editor.putString("my_selection_image_" + i, encoded);
}
And on the mobile side :
private void sendData(PutDataMapRequest dataMap) {
PutDataRequest request = dataMap.asPutDataRequest();
request.setUrgent();
com.google.android.gms.common.api.PendingResult<DataApi.DataItemResult> pendingResult = Wearable.DataApi.putDataItem(mApiClient, request);
pendingResult.setResultCallback(new ResultCallback<DataApi.DataItemResult>() {
#Override
public void onResult(DataApi.DataItemResult dataItemResult) {
com.orange.radio.horizon.tools.Log.d(TAG, "api client : " + mApiClient);
if (dataItemResult.getStatus().isSuccess()) {
com.orange.radio.horizon.tools.Log.d(TAG, "message successfully sent");
} else if (dataItemResult.getStatus().isInterrupted()) {
com.orange.radio.horizon.tools.Log.e(TAG, "couldn't send data to watch (interrupted)");
} else if (dataItemResult.getStatus().isCanceled()) {
com.orange.radio.horizon.tools.Log.e(TAG, "couldn't send data to watch (canceled)");
}
}
});
Log.d(TAG, "Sending data to android wear");
}
class ConfigTask extends AsyncTask<String, Void, String> {
ArrayList<WatchData> mitems;
int mType;
public ConfigTask(ArrayList<WatchData> items, int type)
{
mitems = items;
mType = type;
}
protected String doInBackground(String... str)
{
DataMap dataMap;
ArrayList<DataMap> dataMaps = new ArrayList<>();
Bitmap bitmap = null;
for (int i = 0 ; i < mitems.size() ; i++) {
dataMap = new DataMap();
URL url = null;
try {
url = new URL(mitems.get(i).mUrlSmallLogo);
Log.d(TAG, "url : " + url);
} catch (MalformedURLException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
try {
bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(url.openConnection().getInputStream());
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
Asset asset = createAssetFromBitmap(bitmap);
dataMap.putAsset("image", asset);
dataMap.putString("name", mitems.get(i).mName);
dataMap.putString("permalink", mitems.get(i).mPermalink);
dataMaps.add(dataMap);
}
PutDataMapRequest request = null;
switch (mType) {
case 0 :
request = PutDataMapRequest.create(SELECTION_PATH);
break;
case 1 :
request = PutDataMapRequest.create(RADIOS_PATH);
break;
case 2 :
request = PutDataMapRequest.create(PODCASTS_PATH);
break;
}
request.getDataMap().putDataMapArrayList("dataMaps", dataMaps);
request.getDataMap().putString("", "" + System.currentTimeMillis()); //random data to refresh
Log.d(TAG, "last bitmap : " + bitmap);
Log.d(TAG, "===============================SENDING THE DATAMAP ARRAYLIST==================================");
sendData(request);
return "h";
}
protected void onPostExecute(String name)
{
}
}
When executing that code, I see the following error happening :
02-02 14:47:59.586 7585-7601/? D/WearMessageListenerService﹕ 4005:ASSET_UNAVAILABLE
I saw that related thread Why does Wearable.DataApi.getFdForAsset produce a result with status 4005 (Asset Unavailable)? but it didn't really help me

Answer 1

I recently had the same problem... I solved it by updating the Google play service, and adding the same signing configuration to both the app and the wearable module. If it doesn't work on the first build go to "invalidate caches / restart" in files and it should work.
