Fitness

public class Fitness extends Object

The main entry point to Google Fit APIs.

The Google Fit APIs help app developers collect and use fitness-related sensor data in their applications. There are several different APIs, each solving a different problem:

  • SensorsApi exposes a unified view of sensor streams on the local device and connected devices, and delivers live events to listeners.
  • RecordingApi enables low-battery, always-on background collection of sensor data into the Google Fit store.
  • SessionsApi lets apps create and manage sessions of user activity.
  • HistoryApi allows querying and insertion of data in Google Fit.
  • BleApi can be used to work with Bluetooth Low Energy devices.
  • ConfigApi can be used to access custom data types and settings.
  • GoalsApi can be used to read fitness goals created by users in Google Fit.
Most API methods require a data type. Each data type operation requires the user to have granted the app permission to access and store fitness data for the given data type.

Authorization

When connecting to the Google Fit API, apps should specify the necessary scopes and the user account. Apps can use addScope(Scope) to add the necessary scopes, which should be selected from the SCOPE_XXX constants in this class. To use a specific user account, apps can use setAccountName(String), or use useDefaultAccount() to use the default account. The specified account and scopes will be used to acquire the necessary OAuth tokens on behalf of the app.

In case the app does not have the needed OAuth permissions for the requested scopes, Google Fit will send back a result with status code set to NEEDS_OAUTH_PERMISSIONS. In this case, the app should use startResolutionForResult(Activity, int) to get the necessary OAuth permissions.

The first connection to Fit API may require a network connection to verify the account and scopes associated with it. In case no network connection is available, Google Fit will send back a result with status code set to NETWORK_ERROR.

Sample usage of Google Fit Client:

     public class MyActivity extends FragmentActivity
             implements ConnectionCallbacks, OnConnectionFailedListener, OnDataPointListener {
        private static final int REQUEST_OAUTH = 1001;
        private GoogleApiClient mGoogleApiClient;

        @Override
        protected void onCreate(@Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
            super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

            // Create a Google Fit Client instance with default user account.
            mGoogleApiClient = new GoogleApiClient.Builder(this)
                    .addApi(Fitness.SENSORS_API)  // Required for SensorsApi calls
                    // Optional: specify more APIs used with additional calls to addApi
                    .useDefaultAccount()
                    .addScope(new Scope(Scopes.FITNESS_ACTIVITY_READ_WRITE))
                    .addConnectionCallbacks(this)
                    .addOnConnectionFailedListener(this)
                    .build();

            mGoogleApiClient.connect();
        }

        @Override
        public void onConnected(Bundle connectionHint) {
            // Connected to Google Fit Client.
            Fitness.SensorsApi.add(
                    mGoogleApiClient,
                    new SensorRequest.Builder()
                            .setDataType(DataType.STEP_COUNT_DELTA)
                            .build(),
                    this);
        }

        @Override
        public void onDataPoint(DataPoint dataPoint) {
            // Do cool stuff that matters.
        }

        @Override
        public void onConnectionSuspended(int cause) {
            // The connection has been interrupted. Wait until onConnected() is called.
        }

        @Override
        public void onConnectionFailed(ConnectionResult result) {
            // Error while connecting. Try to resolve using the pending intent returned.
            if (result.getErrorCode() == FitnessStatusCodes.NEEDS_OAUTH_PERMISSIONS) {
                try {
                    result.startResolutionForResult(this, REQUEST_OAUTH);
                } catch (SendIntentException e) {
                }
            }
        }

        @Override
        public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
            if (requestCode == REQUEST_OAUTH && resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
                mGoogleApiClient.connect();
            }
        }
     }

Intents

Google Fit supports different intents in order to help fitness apps collaborate. To that effect, different intent actions are defined in this class: Different objects in the Fitness data model can be used in intents, including sessions, data sources, data types, and activities. The documentation for each intent action specifies the different attributes of the intent, including actions, MIME types, and extras. It also specifies how the intents can be built and parsed using methods in the API.

Constant Summary

String ACTION_TRACK Broadcast action: the user has requested that an application start or stop tracking their activity.
String ACTION_VIEW Broadcast action: the user has requested that an application show the value of a particular fitness data type.
String ACTION_VIEW_GOAL Broadcast action: the user has requested to view their current fitness goal.
String EXTRA_END_TIME Name for the long intent extra containing the end time.
String EXTRA_START_TIME Name for the long intent extra containing the start time.

Inherited Method Summary

Constants

public static final String ACTION_TRACK

Broadcast action: the user has requested that an application start or stop tracking their activity. The intent will include the following attributes:

  • mimeType: this will be MIME_TYPE_PREFIX followed by the name of the activity. Apps can use a MIME type filter to listen only on activities they can track. getMimeType(String) can be used to generate a MIME type from an activity.
  • Extra EXTRA_STATUS: an extra indicating the current status of the activity (active or completed).
Constant Value: "vnd.google.fitness.TRACK"

public static final String ACTION_VIEW

Broadcast action: the user has requested that an application show the value of a particular fitness data type. This could be an intent to visualize the current value of a data type (such as the current heart rate), or the value of a data type over a period of time. The extras will determine what the particular intent is.

The intent will include the following attributes:

  • mimeType: this will be MIME_TYPE_PREFIX followed by the name of the data type the user would like to visualize. Apps can use a MIME type filter to listen only on data types they can visualize. The MIME type can be generated by getMimeType(String).
  • Extra EXTRA_START_TIME: an extra indicating the start time in milliseconds since epoch, present if the user desires to visualize data over a period of time. The start time can be extracted by getStartTime(Intent, TimeUnit).
  • Extra EXTRA_END_TIME: an extra indicating the end time in milliseconds since epoch, present if the user desires to visualize data over a period of time. If end time isn't specified, but start time is, then the end time used should be "now". The end time can be extracted by getEndTime(Intent, TimeUnit).
  • Extra EXTRA_DATA_SOURCE: an optional extra indicating the specific data source the user would like to visualize, if any. It can be extracted using extract(Intent).
Constant Value: "vnd.google.fitness.VIEW"

public static final String ACTION_VIEW_GOAL

Broadcast action: the user has requested to view their current fitness goal.

Constant Value: "vnd.google.fitness.VIEW_GOAL"

public static final String EXTRA_END_TIME

Name for the long intent extra containing the end time. It can be extracted using getEndTime(Intent, TimeUnit)

Constant Value: "vnd.google.fitness.end_time"

public static final String EXTRA_START_TIME

Name for the long intent extra containing the start time. It can be extracted using getStartTime(Intent, TimeUnit).

Constant Value: "vnd.google.fitness.start_time"

Fields

public static final Void API

This field is deprecated.
in favor of granular API tokens.

Instead of API, you now need to use the specific API for the calls you're making, .e.g.

 mGoogleApiClient = new GoogleApiClient.Builder(this)
         .addApi(Fitness.SENSORS_API)    // Required only if you're making SensorsApi calls
         .addApi(Fitness.RECORDING_API)  // Required only if you're making RecordingApi calls
         .addApi(Fitness.HISTORY_API)    // Required only if you're making HistoryApi calls
         .addApi(Fitness.SESSIONS_API)   // Required only if you're making SessionsApi calls
         // Optional: request more APIs with additional calls to addApi
         .useDefaultAccount()
         .addScope(new Scope(Scopes.FITNESS))
         .addOnConnectionsCallbacks(this)
