HistoryApi

public interface HistoryApi

This interface is deprecated.
For reading and writing historical fitness data, use Health Connect instead.

API for inserting, deleting, and reading data in Google Fit.

The readData(GoogleApiClient, DataReadRequest) method should be used whenever historical data is needed. It can be combined with a subscription in the Recording Api to collect data in the background and query it later for displaying.

The insertData(GoogleApiClient, DataSet) method can be used for batch insertion of data that was collected outside of Google Fit. It can be useful when data is entered directly by the user or imported from a device that isn't supported by the platform.

The History API should be accessed via the Fitness entry point. Example:

     GoogleApiClient client = new GoogleApiClient.Builder(context)
         .addApi(Fitness.HISTORY_API)
         ...
         .build();
     client.connect();

     PendingResult<DataReadResult> pendingResult = Fitness.HistoryApi.readData(
         client,
         new DataReadRequest.Builder()
             .read(DataType.TYPE_STEP_COUNT_DELTA)
             .setTimeRange(startTime.getMillis(), endTime.getMillis(), TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS)
             .build());

     DataReadResult readDataResult = pendingResult.await();
     DataSet dataSet = readDataResult.getDataSet(DataType.TYPE_STEP_COUNT_DELTA);

Public Methods

public abstract PendingResult<Status> deleteData (GoogleApiClient client, DataDeleteRequest request)

Deletes data from the user's Google Fit history. This request will fail if the requesting app tries to delete data that it hasn't inserted.

Parameters
client An existing GoogleApiClient. It does not need to be connected at the time of this call, but the deletion will be delayed until the connection is complete.
request Specifying the data source/type and time range to delete.
Returns
  • A pending result containing status of the request.

public abstract PendingResult<Status> insertData (GoogleApiClient client, DataSet dataSet)

Inserts data collected from a data source directly into the user's Google Fit history, on behalf of the current application. Useful when the data source isn't compatible with Google Fit or for importing historical data.

If the data source can be exposed via a BLE GATT profile, an application-exposed sensor, or some other method compatible with Google Fit, it's preferable to create a subscription via the Recording API instead of inserting data directly.

Parameters
client An existing GoogleApiClient. It does not need to be connected at the time of this call, but the insertion will be delayed until the connection is complete.
dataSet The data that you're adding.
Returns
  • A pending result containing the status of the request.

public abstract PendingResult<DailyTotalResult> readDailyTotal (GoogleApiClient client, DataType dataType)

Reads the current daily total for the given dataType. The daily total will be computed from midnight of the current day on the device's current timezone. The method can be used as follows:

   PendingResult<DailyTotalResult> result =
       HistoryApi.readDailyTotal(client, TYPE_STEP_COUNT_DELTA);
   DailyTotalResult totalResult = result.await(30, SECONDS);
   if (totalResult.getStatus().isSuccess()) {
     DataSet totalSet = totalResult.getTotal();
     long total = totalSet.isEmpty()
         ? 0
         : totalSet.getDataPoints().get(0).getValue(FIELD_STEPS).asInt();
   } else {
     // handle failure
   }
 

This is a simplified version of readData(). When the requested data type is DataType.TYPE_STEP_COUNT_DELTA, authentication is not required to call this method, making it specially suited for use by Watchface and Widget activities that don't have the ability to show an authentication panel to the user.

This method is equivalent to:

   readData(client, new DataReadRequest.Builder()
       .setTimeRange(midnight.getMillis(), now.getMillis(), TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS)
       .bucketByTime(1, TimeUnit.DAYS)
       .aggregate(DataType.TYPE_STEP_COUNT_DELTA, DataType.AGGREGATE_STEP_COUNT_DELTA)
       .build());
 

This method aggregates data across different user devices, for instance a watch and a phone. To aggregate data from the local device only, see readDailyTotalFromLocalDevice(GoogleApiClient, DataType)

Returns
  • A pending result containing the requested data. The pending result will contain a single DataSet. If no data has been collected for the requested data type today, the DataSet will be empty.

public abstract PendingResult<DailyTotalResult> readDailyTotalFromLocalDevice (GoogleApiClient client, DataType dataType)

Reads the current daily total for the given dataType from the local device only. The daily total will be computed from midnight of the current day on the device's current timezone.

This method aggregates local data only. To aggregate data across different devices, see readDailyTotal(GoogleApiClient, DataType)

Returns
  • A pending result containing the requested data. The pending result will contain a single DataSet. If no data has been collected for the requested data type today, the DataSet will be empty.

public abstract PendingResult<DataReadResult> readData (GoogleApiClient client, DataReadRequest request)

Reads data from the user's Google Fit history. Values can be read in detailed or in aggregate formats. Aggregate data is presented in buckets, while detailed data is returned as a single data set.

Parameters
client An existing GoogleApiClient. It does not need to be connected at the time of this call, but the read operation will be delayed until the connection is complete.
request A built request specifying the data sources that you're interested in reading and the time range of the returned data.
Returns
  • A pending result containing the requested data. Includes a data set for each requested data source.

public abstract PendingResult<Status> registerDataUpdateListener (GoogleApiClient client, DataUpdateListenerRegistrationRequest request)

Adds a PendingIntent listener to Google fitness store. This method can be called to listen on updates in Google Fitness Store based on the request parameters. For instance, a listener may be registered to the com.google.weight data type to receive updates whenever new weight entries are added.

Once the register request succeeds, notification for updates in the Fitness Store are delivered to the PendingIntent in the request. Historic data is not delivered, but can be queried via the History API. When the application is closing, or once data update notifications are no longer needed, the listener should be removed.

The application specifies a PendingIntent callback (typically an IntentService), wrapped in DataUpdateListenerRegistrationRequest, which will be called when updates happen in the Fitness Store. When the PendingIntent is called, the application can use DataUpdateNotification.getDataUpdateNotification(android.content.Intent) to extract the DataUpdateNotification 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.

Currently the API allows registering listeners using dataType and dataSource for following data types:

Parameters
client An existing GoogleApiClient. It does not need to be connected at the time of this call, but the register operation will be delayed until the connection is complete.
request Request containing the parameters to identify the data updates which should trigger notification to the pendingIntent.

public abstract PendingResult<Status> unregisterDataUpdateListener (GoogleApiClient client, PendingIntent pendingIntent)

Removes PendingIntent, previously registered for receiving data update notifications, from Google Fitness Store. Should be called whenever data update notifications are no longer needed.

Parameters
client An existing GoogleApiClient. Must be connected at the time of this call.
pendingIntent The PendingIntent that was used in the registerDataUpdateListener(GoogleApiClient, DataUpdateListenerRegistrationRequest) request or is equal as defined by PendingIntent.equals(Object).
Throws
IllegalStateException If client is not connected.

public abstract PendingResult<Status> updateData (GoogleApiClient client, DataUpdateRequest request)

Updates data collected from a data source directly into the user's Google Fit history, on behalf of the current application. For the provided time range, data is deleted for the given data source and new data is added to the system.

Useful when the data source isn't compatible with Google Fit or for importing historical data.

Parameters
client An existing GoogleApiClient. It does not need to be connected at the time of this call, but the update will be delayed until the connection is complete.
request Specifying the time range to update and data.
Returns
  • A pending result containing the status of the request.
