react-native-samsung-health

React Native bridge module for interacting with Samsung Health

Installing it as a library in your main project

There are many ways to do this:

1. Do npm install --save git+https://github.com/cellihealth/react-native-samsung-health.git in your main project.

2. Link the library:

   • Add the following to android/settings.gradle:

     include ':react-native-samsung-health'
     project(':react-native-samsung-health').projectDir = new File(settingsDir, '../node_modules/react-native-samsung-health/android')
     

   • Add the following to android/app/build.gradle:

     ...
     
     dependencies {
         ...
         compile project(':react-native-samsung-health')
     }

   • Add the following to android/app/src/main/java/**/MainApplication.java:

     package com.example;
     
     import com.reactnative.samsunghealth.SamsungHealthPackage;  // add this for react-native-samsung-health
     
     public class MainApplication extends Application implements ReactApplication {
     
         @Override
         protected List<ReactPackage> getPackages() {
             return Arrays.<ReactPackage>asList(
                 new MainReactPackage(),
                 new SamsungHealthPackage(BuildConfig.APPLICATION_ID)     // add this for react-native-samsung-health
             );
         }
     }

   • Add permission in android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml:

     <application
     
     <meta-data
       android:name="com.samsung.android.health.permission.read"
       android:value="com.samsung.health.step_count;com.samsung.shealth.step_daily_trend;com.samsung.health.weight" />

3. Simply import/require it by the name defined in your library's package.json:

   import SamsungHealth from 'react-native-samsung-health'
   
   SamsungHealth.authorize([ SamsungHealth.STEP_COUNT ], (err, res) => {
     if (res) {
       let opt = {};
       SamsungHealth.getDailyStepCountSamples(opt, (err, res) => {
         if (err) console.log(err);
         if (res) console.log(res);
       });
     } else console.log(err);
   });

Modify/Build the Project in Android Studio

• Start Android Studio and select File -> New -> Import Project and select the android folder of this package.
• If you get a Plugin with id 'android-library' not found Error, install android support repository.
• If you get asked to upgrade gradle to a new version, you can skip it.

Access Data without S Health partner app certification

If you want to test your app on your device but you don't have the Samsung app certification you'll see an error that looks like

java.lang.SecurityException: Denied to access by whitelist

this error is because to work with S Health you app must be certified, to prevent this error for local development you can enable the developer mode on the Samsun Healt app, go to

Settings -> About Samsung Health

and tap 10 times on the app version, the name of the version will then change to *(Developer Mode)* and you'll be able to access S Health data
