SensorsClient

public class SensorsClient extends GoogleApi<Api.ApiOptions.HasGoogleSignInAccountOptions>

This class is deprecated.
For apps targeting Wear OS 3, use Health Services instead. Otherwise for access to live sensor and location data use SensorManager and FusedLocationProviderClient, respectively.

Client which exposes different sources of fitness data in local and connected devices, and delivers live events to listeners.

The Client exposes data sources from hardware sensors in the local device and in companion devices. It also exposes data sources from applications. Data sources can be queried via findDataSources(DataSourcesRequest)

The Client supports adding and removing listeners to live data streams from any available data source. It also allows for listening on a DataType, in which case the best available data source (or a combination of them) is used.

The Sensors Client should be used whenever live updates from a sensor stream need to be pushed to the application (for instance, to update a UI). The History Client can be used to query historical data in a pull-based model for scenarios where latency isn't critical.

The Sensors Client should be accessed from the Fitness entry point. Example:


    GoogleSignInOptionsExtension fitnessOptions =
        FitnessOptions.builder()
            .addDataType(DataType.TYPE_STEP_COUNT_DELTA, FitnessOptions.ACCESS_READ)
            .build();

    GoogleSignInAccount googleSignInAccount =
        GoogleSignIn.getAccountForExtension(this, fitnessOptions);

    Task<Void> response = Fitness.getSensorsClient(this, googleSignInAccount)
        .add(
            new SensorRequest.Builder()
                .setDataType(DataType.TYPE_STEP_COUNT_DELTA)
                .setSamplingRate(1, TimeUnit.MINUTES)  // sample once per minute
                .build(),
            myStepCountListener);
If the application doesn't need live sensor updates, but instead wants persistent recording of historical sensor data, for batch querying, the Recording and History Clients and should be used instead.

Inherited Method Summary

Public Methods

public Task<Void> add (SensorRequest request, OnDataPointListener listener)

Adds a data point listener to a sensor data source. This method can be called to listen on live updates from a particular data source, or data type (in which case a default data source is used).

Once the add request succeeds, new data points in the data stream are delivered to the specified listener. Historic data is not delivered, but can be queried via the History Client. When the application is closing, or once live data is no longer needed, the listener should be removed. If necessary, the Recording Client can be used to persist data for later querying when the application is re-opened in a battery-efficient manner.

This method can be called several times with the same listener to change the desired sampling rate.

Parameters
request Request specifying the desired data source or data type, as well as the desired parameters for the add request
listener The listener that will be used to respond to events. The listener object should be saved, since it can be used to remove the registration when live events are no longer needed
Throws
SecurityException If a required permission is missing for the requested DataType or DataSource.

public Task<Void> add (SensorRequest request, PendingIntent intent)

Adds a PendingIntent listener to a sensor data source. This method can be called to listen on live updates from a particular data source, or a data type (in which case a default data source is used).

Once the add request succeeds, new data points in the data stream are delivered to the specified intent. Historic data is not delivered, but can be queried via the History Client.

Unlike add(SensorRequest, OnDataPointListener), which takes a listener and is intended for fast sampling rates while the application is on the foreground, this method is intended for slower sampling rates without the need for an always-on service.

The application specifies a PendingIntent callback (typically an IntentService) which will be called when new data points are available in the requested stream. When the PendingIntent is called, the application can use DataPoint.extract(android.content.Intent) to extract the DataPoint from the intent. See the documentation of PendingIntent for more details.

Any previously registered requests that have the same PendingIntent (as defined by PendingIntent.equals(Object)) will be replaced by this request.

Parameters
request Request specifying the desired data source or data type, as well as the desired parameters for the add request
intent A callback intent to be sent for each new data points.
Throws
SecurityException If a required permission is missing for the requested DataType or DataSource.

public Task<List<DataSource>> findDataSources (DataSourcesRequest request)

Finds all available data sources, on the device and remotely. Results are returned asynchronously as a task.

It's not necessary to call this method if an application is interested only in getting the best available data for a data type, regardless of source. In this case, add(SensorRequest, OnDataPointListener) can be used with a generic data type.

Parameters
request A built request specifying the data sources that you're interested in finding.
Returns
  • A task containing the found data sources.

public Task<Void> remove (PendingIntent pendingIntent)

Removes PendingIntent listener from a sensor data source. Should be called whenever live updates are no longer needed.

Parameters
pendingIntent The PendingIntent that was used in the add request or is equal as defined by PendingIntent.equals(Object).
Throws
IllegalStateException If client is not connected.

public Task<Boolean> remove (OnDataPointListener listener)

Removes a listener from a sensor data source. Should be called whenever live updates are no longer needed, such as when the activity that displays live data is paused, stopped, or destroyed.

Parameters
listener The listener that was used in the add request.
Throws
IllegalStateException If client is not connected.
