Requirements

Samsung Health Data is available on Android devices only!
  • Samsung Health Data SDK runs on devices with Android 10 (API level 29) or above. It is available on all Samsung smartphones and non-Samsung Android smartphones.
  • Samsung Health Data SDK works with Samsung Health. Samsung Health version 6.30.2 or higher is required.
  • Samsung Health Data SDK supports Java 17 or higher version.
  • The emulator is not supported.
  • Data obtained using Samsung Health Data SDK is for fitness and wellness information only. It is not for the diagnosis or treatment of any medical condition.

​
Step 1: Create Spike connection

If you already set up Android Health Connect or Apple HealthKit integration in your app, you should skip this step and use the same SpikeSDK connection object.
To set up the Spike SDK create SpikeConnectionV3 instance with your Spike application id, application user id and signature unique to each of your apllication users (more on generating signatures here): 
import 'package:spike_flutter_sdk/spike_flutter_sdk.dart';

final spikeConnection = await SpikeSDKV3.createConnection(
    applicationId: 1000,
    signature: "signature",
    endUserId: "user-id",
);

​
Step 2: Ask user for permissions

If you want to read data from Samsung Health, you have to ensure user gives your app permissions. First, you have to check if Samsung Health is available on users phone using checkSamsungHealthDataAvailability method: 
final availability = await spikeConnection.checkSamsungHealthDataAvailability()
where: 
class SamsungHealthAvailability {
  final SamsungHealthAvailabilityStatus status;
  final int errorCode;
  final String message;
}

enum SamsungHealthAvailabilityStatus {
  // Samsung Health is not installed. Ask user to install it.
  notInstalled,

  // The version of Samsung Health is too old. Ask users to update it.
  updateRequired,

  // The Samsung Health Data is installed but is disabled.
  disabled,

  // Samsung Health has been installed but the user didn't perform an initial process, such as
  // agreeing to the Terms and Conditions.
  notInitialized,

  // Samsung Health returned other error.
  errorOther,

  // Samsung Health Data is available.
  installed,
}
If Samsung Health is installed, you can ask user for permissions using requestPermissions method: 
// Samsung Health integration has to be enabled in SpikeSDK connection before 
// using further methods for reading data or managing permissions:
spikeConnection.enableSamsungHealthDataIntegration()

await spikeConnection.requestSamsungHealthDataPermissions(
  statisticTypes: [StatisticsType.steps],
);
Please note that users might only grant partial permissions. In such cases, it’s up to you to decide whether your app can function effectively with limited access. The SpikeSDK itself will still operate even without full permissions; however, it may result in no data being returned in certain scenarios.
You can now use StatisticsFilter(providers: {Provider.samsungHealthData}) to specifically retrieve data from Samsung Health. Alternatively, you can omit the providers parameter entirely and allow Spike to choose the most suitable data source based on your request.

​
Step 3: Get data

Reading data is the same as for Android Health Connect. The only difference is that you may want to filter results by Provider.samsungHealthData to get only Samsung Health data: 
StatisticsFilter(providers: {Provider.samsungHealthData})

​
Background delivery

Samsung Health data can be delivered in background the same way as Apple HealthKit or Android Health Connect. If you want to use background delivery to get Samsung Health data, you have to enable Samsung Health Data integration first: 
spikeConnection.enableSamsungHealthDataIntegration()
After enabling Samsung Health Data integration, you can use background delivery normally. See Background Delivery section for more details.

​
Developer mode for testing

In order to test Samsung Health Data integration on your phone you have to enable developer mode in Samsung Health app:
  1. Tap the ‘⋮’ button of Samsung Health in the top-right.
  2. Select Settings > About Samsung Health.
  3. Tap the version line region quickly 10 times or more. If you are successful, the Developer mode (Samsung Health Data SDK) button is displayed.
  4. Select Developer mode (Samsung Health Data SDK) .
  5. Agree with Notice of usage of the Developer mode.
  6. For reading data from Samsung Health with Samsung Health Data SDK, turn Developer Mode for Data Read on.
After your app is ready for release, you should apply for a Samsung Partnership Agreement. For more information, please contact Spike support.
The Samsung Health developer mode is ONLY intended for testing or debugging your app. It is NOT for app users. Do not provide a developer mode guide to app users.

​
Additional information

The spikeConnection.getUserInfo() call will only show that Apple HealthKit, Android Health Connect, or Samsung Health Data is enabled after you have successfully retrieved data at least once using functions like getStatistics(), getRecords(), or similar data retrieval methods.
