Customizable Buttons & Ghostracer - GPS Run & Cycle

If your Android Wear 2.0 watch has customizable buttons and you assign one to Ghostracer, you can bypass a few of the steps is usually takes to get back into the app if you left the app during an active session.

Typically you would need to:
  • Swipe down to "Ghostracer: Recording - touch to open" notification
  • Tap notification
  • Tap "open" on next page that appears
This can be difficult to do if you are in the middle of a run or bike ride!

I found that if you assign one of the physical buttons to be an app shortcut for Ghostracer, a single press on the button will bring you from the watch face directly into Ghostracer.

How do you customize a button?
  • Open Settings (swipe down from top and tap gear icon, or open from app list) 
  • Tap Personalization
  • Tap Customize Hardware Buttons
  • Select which button to customize
  • Select Ghostracer as the app
