Google Fit Plugin

Capacitor plugin to retrieve data from Google Fit

Install

npm i --save capacitor-google-fit
npx cap sync

Android requirement

In order for your app to communicate properly with the Google Fitness API, you need to provide the SHA1 sum of the certificate used for signing your application to Google. This will enable the GoogleFit plugin to communicate with the Fit application in each smartphone where the application is installed.

To do this:

1. Get your app's certificate information

  1. Locate your debug keystore file. The file name is debug.keystore

    • macOS : ~/.android
    • Windows : C:\Users\your-user-name.android\

  2. List the SHA-1 fingerprint:

    • macOS
    keytool -list -v -keystore ~/.android/debug.keystore -alias androiddebugkey -storepass android -keypass android
    • Windows
    keytool -list -v -keystore "%USERPROFILE%\.android\debug.keystore" -alias androiddebugkey -storepass android -keypass android

The line that begins with SHA1 contains the certificate's SHA-1 fingerprint.

2. Request an OAuth 2.0 client ID in the Google API Console :
  1. Go to the Google API Console
  2. Create a project or choose existing project
  3. Click Continue to enable the Fitness API.
  4. Click Go to credentials.
  5. Now add credential to your project. Note that If this is the first time you configure the project you should "Configure the OAuth consent screen" first 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: 
    780816631155-gbvyo1o7r2pn95qc4ei9d61io4uh48hl.apps.googleusercontent.com

Set up in Android

Register plugin inside your MainActivity.onCreate

import com.adscientiam.capacitor.googlefit.GoogleFit;

this.init(savedInstanceState, new ArrayList<Class<? extends Plugin>>() {{
  add(GoogleFit.class);
}});

import { Plugins } from '@capacitor/core';
const { GoogleFit } = Plugins;

Data Type Unit Google Fit equivalent
step count TYPE_STEP_COUNT_DELTA

      startTime: lastWeek,
      endTime: today
    });
    console.log(result);
  }
