Android Setup Guide
Important:  For Android 14, carefully follow the Android 14 Setup Guide for additional instructions.
General Setup for Android 9 to 13
Add the required health permissions to a resource file. You can reuse an existing one or create a new one. That allows you to fully utilise this SDK and to read the necessary data from apps that integrate with HealthConnect.
Create config.xml in the following path: android/app/src/main/res/values. Content of this file must be the following:
config.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
<array  name="health_permissions">
<item>androidx.health.permission.Nutrition.READ</item>
<item>androidx.health.permission.ActiveCaloriesBurned.READ</item>

﻿
You have to add the required health permissions to your AndroidManifest.xml to fully utilize Spike SDK and to read the necessary data from apps that integrate with HealthConnect. Please refer to this guide to understand the specific permissions needed.
Now modify the AndroidManifest.xml file. Add the following query:
AndroidManifest
<queries>
<package android:name="com.google.android.apps.healthdata" />
</queries>
<queries>
<package android:name="com.google.android.apps.healthdata" />
</queries>
﻿
Reference the permissions to your AndroidManifest.xml file in the activity that will call for health permissions. This meta-data reference should be added under the following:
AndroidManifest.xml
<meta-data
  android:name="health_permissions"
  android:resource="@array/health_permissions"  />
<meta-data
  android:name="health_permissions"
  android:resource="@array/health_permissions"  />
﻿
Add intent filter to your activity definition so that you can request the permissions at runtime. This intent filter reference should be added under the following:
AndroidManifest.xml
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="androidx.health.ACTION_SHOW_PERMISSIONS_RATIONALE" />
</intent-filter>
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="androidx.health.ACTION_SHOW_PERMISSIONS_RATIONALE" />
</intent-filter>
﻿
If permissions handling is not working, this might be related to launch mode being singleTop. This might be not needed, but some apps face problems when requesting permissions. If you face them, then you should try removing the following line:
android:launchMode="singleTop"
If app is not building, it might be related to label replacement issue. In this case, you should add the following line:
tools:replace="android:label"
Add the following line into the android/app/build.gradle under dependencies:
build.gradle
implementation 'androidx.appcompat:appcompat:1.3.1'
implementation 'androidx.appcompat:appcompat:1.3.1'
﻿
Since we are using closed source native Android SDK, separate repository is needed. Thus, add the following dependency into your android/builde.gradle file (it must be added both in repositories and allprojects node of repositories):
build.gradle
maven {
  url 'https://gitlab.com/api/v4/projects/43396247/packages/maven'
}
maven {
  url 'https://gitlab.com/api/v4/projects/43396247/packages/maven'
}
﻿
In local.properties of your project for Flutter, add these lines:
local.properties
flutter.minSdkVersion=28
flutter.compileSdkVersion=34
flutter.minSdkVersion=28
flutter.compileSdkVersion=34
﻿
In case your default Flutter project does not take these values, do the necessary changes in the android/app/build.gradle
build.gradle
def flutterCompileSdkVersion = localProperties.getProperty('flutter.compileSdkVersion')
if (flutterCompileSdkVersion == null) {
  flutterCompileSdkVersion = '34'
}
def flutterCompileSdkVersion = localProperties.getProperty('flutter.compileSdkVersion')
if (flutterCompileSdkVersion == null) {
  flutterCompileSdkVersion = '34'
}
﻿
Add or change compileSdkVersion under android node like this:
Android Node
compileSdkVersion flutterCompileSdkVersion.toInteger()
compileSdkVersion flutterCompileSdkVersion.toInteger()

Android 14 Setup Guide
Make sure to follow General Setup for Android 9 to 13, and it works completely with devices before Android 14. Otherwise, these steps might not work.
Check the contents of android/app/src/main/kotlin/{YOUR_PACKAGE_ID}/MainActivity.kt. You must see something like that in case it is the new app being developed:
MainActivity
import io.flutter.embedding.android.FlutterActivity

class MainActivity: FlutterActivity() {
}
import io.flutter.embedding.android.FlutterActivity

class MainActivity: FlutterActivity() {
}
﻿
You must change FlutterActivity to the FlutterFragmentActivity which means that you code should turn into the result similar to the one below:
MainActivity
import io.flutter.embedding.android.FlutterFragmentActivity

class MainActivity: FlutterFragmentActivity() {
}
import io.flutter.embedding.android.FlutterFragmentActivity

class MainActivity: FlutterFragmentActivity() {
}
﻿
In the Health Connect permissions activity, there is a link to your privacy policy. You need to grant the Health Connect app access in order to link back to your privacy policy. In the example below, you should either replace .MainActivity with an activity that presents the privacy policy or have the Main Activity route the user to the policy. This step may be required to pass Google app review when requesting access to sensitive permissions.
<activity-alias
     android:name="ViewPermissionUsageActivity"
     android:exported="true"
     android:targetActivity=".MainActivity"
     android:permission="android.permission.START_VIEW_PERMISSION_USAGE">
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW_PERMISSION_USAGE" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.HEALTH_PERMISSIONS" />
        </intent-filter>
</activity-alias>
Android 14 uses different model for the Health permissions. So you must add the following permissions for requesting into the AndroidManifest.xml:
XML
<!-- Health permissions -->
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.health.READ_SLEEP"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.health.READ_WEIGHT"  />

Spike SDK Usage
To set up the Flutter SDK, provide the application ID, authentication token, and your customer user ID. You can find the application ID and authentication token in the Spike Developer Console. Personal identifiable information, such as emails, should not be part of user IDs.
Initialization
const authToken = '{YOUR_AUTH_TOKEN}';

const appId = '{YOUR_APP_ID}';

const customerEndUserId = '{YOUR_CUSTOMER_END_USER_ID}';

const postbackURL = 'https://example.com/';
Requesting Permissions
In order to use the connection properly, you must first ask for the permissions needed for your purposes. Let us assume you want to get heart data.
connection.ensurePermissionsAreGranted(types: [SpikeDataType.heart]);
Creating Spike Connection
Using the credentials received, you can create the connection.
Dart
import 'package:spike_flutter_sdk/spike_api.dart';

final connection = await  SpikeSDK.createConnection(
appId: appId,
authToken: authToken,
customerEndUserId: customerEndUserId,
postbackURL: postbackURL, // Optional, provides functionality to send data to webhook and use background deliveries.
logger: const  PrintLogger() // Optional, class which conforms to SpikeLogger interface
);
import 'package:spike_flutter_sdk/spike_api.dart';

final connection = await  SpikeSDK.createConnection(
appId: appId,
authToken: authToken,
customerEndUserId: customerEndUserId,
postbackURL: postbackURL, // Optional, provides functionality to send data to webhook and use background deliveries.
logger: const  PrintLogger() // Optional, class which conforms to SpikeLogger interface
);
﻿
You can add a logger that logs the most important events in the connection. First, you would need to implement the SpikeLogger abstract class. Example of how to do so is below.
Dart
import  'package:spike_flutter_sdk/spike_flutter_sdk.dart';


class  PrintLogger  extends  SpikeLogger {
const  PrintLogger();

// You specify if you want to receive debug messages through this logger.
@override
bool  get isDebugEnabled => true;

// You specify if you want to receive error messages through this logger.
@override
bool  get isErrorEnabled => true;

// You specify if you want to receive info messages through this logger.
@override
bool  get isInfoEnabled => true;

@override
void  debug(SpikeConnection connection, String message) =>
_log(connection, message, 'debug');

@override
void  error(SpikeConnection connection, String message) =>
_log(connection, message, 'error');

@override
void  info(SpikeConnection connection, String message) =>
_log(connection, message, 'info');

/*
* Of course, in the production apps using 'print' is an antipattern in Flutter,
* but this is intended to give you an idea how to use logger, and also to have
* a compilable version of the logger to get you started as fast as possible.
*/

void  _log(SpikeConnection connection, String message, String level) =>
print('[$level] [${connection.connectionId}]: $message');
}
import  'package:spike_flutter_sdk/spike_flutter_sdk.dart';


class  PrintLogger  extends  SpikeLogger {
const  PrintLogger();

// You specify if you want to receive debug messages through this logger.
@override
bool  get isDebugEnabled => true;

// You specify if you want to receive error messages through this logger.
@override
bool  get isErrorEnabled => true;

// You specify if you want to receive info messages through this logger.
@override
bool  get isInfoEnabled => true;

@override
void  debug(SpikeConnection connection, String message) =>
_log(connection, message, 'debug');

@override
void  error(SpikeConnection connection, String message) =>
_log(connection, message, 'error');

@override
void  info(SpikeConnection connection, String message) =>
_log(connection, message, 'info');

/*
* Of course, in the production apps using 'print' is an antipattern in Flutter,
* but this is intended to give you an idea how to use logger, and also to have
* a compilable version of the logger to get you started as fast as possible.
*/

void  _log(SpikeConnection connection, String message, String level) =>
print('[$level] [${connection.connectionId}]: $message');
}
﻿
Getting and using the Data
Without specified Data Range
Dart
final stepsData = await connection.extractData(SpikeDataType.steps);
if (stepsData.data.isNotEmpty) {
print("Steps (Count): ${stepsData.data.length}");
print("Steps[0]: ${stepsData.data[0].value}");
}
final heartJobDetails = await connection.extractAndPostData(SpikeDataType.heart);
print('submittedAt: ${heartJobDetails.submittedAt}');
print('notificationId: ${heartJobDetails.notificationId}');
final stepsData = await connection.extractData(SpikeDataType.steps);
if (stepsData.data.isNotEmpty) {
print("Steps (Count): ${stepsData.data.length}");
print("Steps[0]: ${stepsData.data[0].value}");
}
final heartJobDetails = await connection.extractAndPostData(SpikeDataType.heart);
print('submittedAt: ${heartJobDetails.submittedAt}');
print('notificationId: ${heartJobDetails.notificationId}');
﻿
With specified Data Range
Dart
final now = DateTime.now()
final stepsData = await connection.extractData(
SpikeDataType.steps,
from: now.subtract(const  Duration(days: 1)),
to: now,
);

if (stepsData.data.isNotEmpty) {
print("Steps (Count): ${stepsData.data.length}");
print("Steps[0]: ${stepsData.data[0].value}");
}

final heartJobDetails = await connection.extractAndPostData(
SpikeDataType.heart,
from: now.subtract(const  Duration(days: 1)),
to: now,
);

print('submittedAt: ${heartJobDetails.submittedAt}');
print('notificationId: ${heartJobDetails.notificationId}');
final now = DateTime.now()
final stepsData = await connection.extractData(
SpikeDataType.steps,
from: now.subtract(const  Duration(days: 1)),
to: now,
);

if (stepsData.data.isNotEmpty) {
print("Steps (Count): ${stepsData.data.length}");
print("Steps[0]: ${stepsData.data[0].value}");
}

final heartJobDetails = await connection.extractAndPostData(
SpikeDataType.heart,
from: now.subtract(const  Duration(days: 1)),
to: now,
);

print('submittedAt: ${heartJobDetails.submittedAt}');
print('notificationId: ${heartJobDetails.notificationId}');
﻿
Getting Spike End User ID
Dart
final result = await connection.getSpikeEndUserId();
final result = await connection.getSpikeEndUserId();
﻿
Background Delivery
Background Deliveries are for WebHook connection and iOS only. To enable background deliveries:
Dart
await connection.enableBackgroundDelivery(
types: [SpikeDataType.summary, SpikeDataType.heart],
);
await connection.enableBackgroundDelivery(
types: [SpikeDataType.summary, SpikeDataType.heart],
);
﻿
Listener for Background Deliveries
You can implement SpikeWebhookConnectionListener, and provide your implementation as listener for the background delivery. Below, there is an example of how to implement SpikeWebhookConnectionListener.
Dart
import  'package:spike_flutter_sdk/spike_flutter_sdk.dart';

class  PrintBackgroundListener  extends  SpikeWebhookConnectionListener {
const  PrintBackgroundListener();

@override
void  onBackgroundLog(String log) => print(log);
}
connection.setListener(const  PrintBackgroundListener());
import  'package:spike_flutter_sdk/spike_flutter_sdk.dart';

class  PrintBackgroundListener  extends  SpikeWebhookConnectionListener {
const  PrintBackgroundListener();

@override
void  onBackgroundLog(String log) => print(log);
}
connection.setListener(const  PrintBackgroundListener());
﻿
Checking Background Delivery Types
Dart
final types = await connection.getBackgroundDeliveryTypes();
final types = await connection.getBackgroundDeliveryTypes();
﻿
﻿
