android.os.RemoteException

For any IPC transportation failures.
java.lang.SecurityException

For requests with unpermitted access.
java.io.IOException

For any disk I/O issues.

Example code to retrieve cumulative step count for each minute within provided time range:

aggregateGroupByPeriod

abstract @NonNull List<@NonNull AggregationResultGroupedByPeriod> aggregateGroupByPeriod(@NonNull AggregateGroupByPeriodRequest request)

Reads AggregateMetrics according to requested read criteria specified in AggregateGroupByPeriodRequest.

This method is similar to aggregate but instead of returning one AggregationResult for the entire query's time interval, it returns a list of AggregationResultGroupedByPeriod, with each row keyed by start and end time. For example: steps for this month bucketed by day.

An AggregationResultGroupedByPeriod is returned only if there are Record to aggregate within start and end time of the row.

import androidx.health.connect.client.records.StepsRecord
import androidx.health.connect.client.request.AggregateGroupByPeriodRequest
import androidx.health.connect.client.time.TimeRangeFilter

val response =
    healthConnectClient.aggregateGroupByPeriod(

createMedicalDataSource

@ExperimentalPersonalHealthRecordApi
@RequiresPermission(value = "android.permission.health.WRITE_MEDICAL_DATA")
default @NonNull MedicalDataSource createMedicalDataSource(@NonNull CreateMedicalDataSourceRequest request)

Creates a MedicalDataSource using a CreateMedicalDataSourceRequest.

Regarding permissions:

Medical data is represented using the Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) standard.

A MedicalDataSource needs to be created before any MedicalResources for that source can be inserted. Separate MedicalDataSources should be created for medical records coming from different sources (e.g. different FHIR endpoints, different healthcare systems), unless the data has been reconciled and all records have a unique combination of resource type and resource id.

The CreateMedicalDataSourceRequest.displayName must be unique across all medical data sources created by an app, otherwise an IllegalArgumentException will be thrown. See CreateMedicalDataSourceRequest.fhirBaseUri for more details on the FHIR base URI. The data source can not be updated after creation.

This feature is dependent on the version of HealthConnect installed on the device. To check if it's available call HealthConnectFeatures.getFeatureStatus and pass FEATURE_PERSONAL_HEALTH_RECORD as an argument. An UnsupportedOperationException would be thrown if the feature is not available.

getChanges

abstract @NonNull ChangesResponse getChanges(@NonNull String changesToken)

Retrieves changes in Health Connect, from a specific point in time represented by provided changesToken.

The response returned may not provide all the changes due to IPC or memory limits, see ChangesResponse.hasMore. Clients can make more api calls to fetch more changes from Health Connect with updated ChangesResponse.nextChangesToken.

Provided changesToken may have expired if clients have not synced for extended period of time (such as a month). In this case ChangesResponse.changesTokenExpired will be set, and clients should generate a new changes-token via getChangesToken.

val response = client.getChanges(changesToken)
if (response.changesTokenExpired) {
  // Consider re-sync and fetch new changes token.
} else {
  // Process new insertion/deletions, either update local storage or upload to backends.
}
Parameters
@NonNull String changesToken

A Changes-Token that represents a specific point in time in Android Health Platform.
Returns
@NonNull ChangesResponse

a ChangesResponse with changes since provided changesToken.
Throws
android.os.RemoteException

For any IPC transportation failures.
java.lang.SecurityException

For requests with unpermitted access.
See also
getChangesToken

getChangesToken

abstract @NonNull String getChangesToken(@NonNull ChangesTokenRequest request)

Retrieves a changes-token, representing a point in time in the underlying Android Health Platform for a given ChangesTokenRequest. Changes-tokens are used in getChanges to retrieve changes since that point in time.

Changes-tokens represent a point in time after which the client is interested in knowing the changes for a set of interested types of Record and optional DataOrigin filters.

Changes-tokens are only valid for 30 days after they're generated. Calls to getChanges with an expired changes-token will lead to ChangesResponse.changesTokenExpired

Parameters
@NonNull ChangesTokenRequest request

Includes interested types of record to observe changes and optional filters.
Returns
@NonNull String

a changes-token
Throws
android.os.RemoteException

For any IPC transportation failures.
java.lang.SecurityException

For requests with unpermitted access.

getMedicalDataSources

@ExperimentalPersonalHealthRecordApi
default @NonNull List<@NonNull MedicalDataSource> getMedicalDataSources(@NonNull List<@NonNull String> ids)

Gets MedicalDataSources for the provided list of ids.

The returned list of data sources will be in the same order as the ids.

Number of data sources returned by this API will depend based on below factors:

  • If an empty list of ids is provided, no data sources will be returned.

  • If an id is invalid or non-existent, no data source will be returned for that id, this means the returned list might have fewer elements than ids.

  • Callers will only get data sources they are permitted to get. See below.

There is no specific read permission for getting data sources. Instead, permission to read data sources is based on whether the caller has permission to read the data currently contained in that data source. Being permitted to get data sources is dependent on the following logic, in priority order, earlier statements take precedence.

This feature is dependent on the version of HealthConnect installed on the device. To check if it's available call HealthConnectFeatures.getFeatureStatus and pass FEATURE_PERSONAL_HEALTH_RECORD as an argument. An UnsupportedOperationException would be thrown if the feature is not available.

getMedicalDataSources

@ExperimentalPersonalHealthRecordApi
default @NonNull List<@NonNull MedicalDataSource> getMedicalDataSources(@NonNull GetMedicalDataSourcesRequest request)

Gets the requested MedicalDataSources using GetMedicalDataSourcesRequest. Number of data sources returned by this API will depend based on below factors:

  • If an empty GetMedicalDataSourcesRequest is passed, all data sources for all apps are requested, and all which the caller is permitted to get will be returned. See below.

  • If GetMedicalDataSourcesRequest.packageNames is not empty, then only the data sources created by those packages is being requested. All data sources created by those packages which the caller is permitted to get will be returned. See below.

There is no specific read permission for getting data sources. Instead, permission to read data sources is based on whether the caller has permission to read the data currently contained in that data source. Specifically:

This feature is dependent on the version of HealthConnect installed on the device. To check if it's available call HealthConnectFeatures.getFeatureStatus and pass FEATURE_PERSONAL_HEALTH_RECORD as an argument. An UnsupportedOperationException would be thrown if the feature is not available.

insertRecords

abstract @NonNull InsertRecordsResponse insertRecords(@NonNull List<@NonNull Record> records)

Inserts one or more Record and returns newly assigned androidx.health.connect.client.records.metadata.Metadata.id generated. Insertion of multiple records is executed in a transaction - if one fails, none is inserted.

import androidx.health.connect.client.records.StepsRecord
import androidx.health.connect.client.records.metadata.Metadata

val stepsRecord =
    StepsRecord(
        count = 120,
        startTime = START_TIME,
        endTime = END_TIME,
        startZoneOffset = START_ZONE_OFFSET,
        endZoneOffset = END_ZONE_OFFSET,
        metadata = Metadata.manualEntry(),
    )
healthConnectClient.insertRecords(listOf(stepsRecord))

readMedicalResources

@ExperimentalPersonalHealthRecordApi
default @NonNull ReadMedicalResourcesResponse readMedicalResources(@NonNull ReadMedicalResourcesRequest request)

Reads MedicalResources by request, either ReadMedicalResourcesInitialRequest or ReadMedicalResourcesPageRequest.

A typical flow to read all MedicalResources that satisfy a certain criteria would be:

  1. Create a ReadMedicalResourcesInitialRequest with desired criteria, and make a request. If successful, a ReadMedicalResourcesResponse should be returned.

  2. Use returned ReadMedicalResourcesResponse.nextPageToken to create a ReadMedicalResourcesPageRequest and make another request. Again, if successful, a ReadMedicalResourcesResponse should be returned.

  3. Repeat step 2 until ReadMedicalResourcesResponse.nextPageToken is null.

Regarding permissions, only permitted MedicalResources are returned. Specifically:

Each returned MedicalResource is not guaranteed to meet all requirements of the Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) spec. If required, clients should perform their own validations.

upsertMedicalResources

@RequiresPermission(value = "android.permission.health.WRITE_MEDICAL_DATA")
@ExperimentalPersonalHealthRecordApi
default @NonNull List<@NonNull MedicalResource> upsertMedicalResources(
    @NonNull List<@NonNull UpsertMedicalResourceRequest> requests
)

Inserts or updates a list of MedicalResources using UpsertMedicalResourceRequests.

In each request, from UpsertMedicalResourceRequest.dataSourceId, fhir resource type and fhir resource ID extracted from UpsertMedicalResourceRequest.data, a MedicalResourceId will be constructed. If there already exists a MedicalResource with that ID in Health Connect, then it will be updated, otherwise a new MedicalResource will be inserted.

For each UpsertMedicalResourceRequest, one MedicalResource will be returned, regardless whether it's updated or inserted. The order of the MedicalResources in the returned list will be the same as their corresponding UpsertMedicalResourceRequests in the input list.

Note that a MedicalDataSource needs to be created using createMedicalDataSource before any MedicalResources can be upserted for this source.

Regarding permissions:

Medical data is represented using the "https://hl7.org/fhir/" standard. The FHIR resource provided in UpsertMedicalResourceRequest.data is expected to be valid for the specified FHIR version according to the FHIR spec. Structural validation checks such as resource structure, field types and presence of required fields will be performed, however these checks may not cover all FHIR spec requirements and are dependant on the backing implementation of Health Connect.

Data written to Health Connect should be for a single individual only. However, the API allows for multiple Patient resources to be written to account for the possibility of multiple Patient resources being present in one individual's medical record.

Each UpsertMedicalResourceRequest also has to meet the following requirements:

If any request is failed to be processed for any reason, none of the requests will be inserted or updated in one transaction.

This feature is dependent on the version of HealthConnect installed on the device. To check if it's available call HealthConnectFeatures.getFeatureStatus and pass FEATURE_PERSONAL_HEALTH_RECORD as an argument. An UnsupportedOperationException would be thrown if the feature is not available.
