Step Counter Google FIT API

Question

I am currently trying to work with Google Fit API.This is my first App using the API, and I have been mainly by following Google's documentation.

Below is the code that I have which seems to have a problem

The problem I have is that it doesn't seem to be updating the step counter.

public class MainActivity extends Activity
        implements GoogleApiClient.ConnectionCallbacks, GoogleApiClient.OnConnectionFailedListener {

        private static final String TAG = "FitActivity";
    //[START Auth_Variable_References]
        private static final int REQUEST_OAUTH = 1;
    // [END auth_variable_references]
        private GoogleApiClient mClient = null;

        int mInitialNumberOfSteps = 0;
        private TextView mStepsTextView;
        private boolean mFirstCount = true;

    // Create Builder View
        @Override
        protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
            super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
            setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
            mStepsTextView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textview_number_of_steps);
        }


        private void connectFitness() {
            Log.i(TAG, "Connecting...");

            // Create the Google API Client
            mClient = new GoogleApiClient.Builder(this)
                    // select the Fitness API
                    .addApi(Fitness.API)
                            // specify the scopes of access
                    .addScope(new Scope(Scopes.FITNESS_ACTIVITY_READ))
                     .addScope(new Scope(Scopes.FITNESS_LOCATION_READ))
                    .addScope(new Scope(Scopes.FITNESS_BODY_READ_WRITE))
                                    // provide callbacks
                            .addConnectionCallbacks(this)

Answer 1

First of all, Follow these steps to enable the Fitness API in the Google API Console and get an OAuth 2.0 client ID.

1. Go to the Google API Console.

2. Select a project, or create a new one. Use the same project for the Android and REST versions of your app.

3. Click Continue to enable the Fitness API.

4. Click Go to credentials.

5. Click New credentials, then select OAuth Client ID.

6. Under Application type select Android.

7. In the resulting dialog, enter your app's SHA-1 fingerprint and package name. For example:

BB:0D:AC:74:D3:21:E1:43:67:71:9B:62:91:AF:A1:66:6E:44:5D:75

com.example.android.fit-example

8. Click Create. Your new Android OAuth 2.0 Client ID and secret appear in the list of IDs for your project. An OAuth 2.0 Client ID is a string of characters, something like this:

                    Log.i(TAG, "Listener not registered.");
                }
            }
        });

    }
}

NOTE : :: Sometimes in some device it doestn't detect Step values so whenever you are developing and workling with this code Always Uninstall app and then re-install app. then this works fine.

**Don't forget to add this permission**

Answer 2

You can try the StepSensor library from OrangeGangster's.

It contains a custom Service allowing to collect data from the Sensor.TYPE_STEP_COUNTER introduced with Android 4.4 (available only for devices that supports this hardware feature).
