public abstract class HealthDataObserver
extends Object

This class defines a health data observer for health data change.

Adding an Observer

You can add an observer for the specific health data type and get notification in onChange(String) if the designated health data is changed.

In case that you add an observer for the data type that updates too frequently in short time like step count, it can send too many events to your application and it can bring degradation of your application's performance.
Check that your application needs to update data with real-time from Samsung Health again before adding an observer.

A health data observer can be defined as below.

 public class HealthDataObserverExample {

     // The state of connection
     private HealthDataStore mStore;

     public static final String APP_TAG = "MyApp";

     private final HealthDataObserver mObserver = new HealthDataObserver(null) {

         // Checks notification for changed health data
         @Override
         public void onChange(String dataTypeName) {
             Log.d(APP_TAG, "Health data is changed.");
             readChangedData(dataTypeName);
         }
     };

When you add an observer for the specific health data type, specify the data type name as below. Only data type is allowed to be observed.

     public void start() {
         // Adds an observer for change of the weight
         HealthDataObserver.addObserver(mStore,
         HealthConstants.Weight.HEALTH_DATA_TYPE, mObserver);
     }

The change notification is received in onChange(String) and you can check updated health data as below.

     private void readChangedData(String dataTypeName) {
         HealthDataResolver resolver = new HealthDataResolver(mStore, null);
         HealthDataResolver.ReadRequest rdRequest = new HealthDataResolver.ReadRequest.Builder()
             .setDataType(dataTypeName)
             .build();
         try {
             // Make an asynchronous request to read health data
             resolver.read(rdRequest).setResultListener(mRdListener);
         } catch (Exception e) {
             Log.d(APP_TAG, "HealthDataResolver.read() fails.");
         }
     }

     private final HealthResultHolder.ResultListener<HealthDataResolver.ReadResult> mRdListener =
         new HealthResultHolder.ResultListener<HealthDataResolver.ReadResult>() {

         @Override
         public void onResult(HealthDataResolver.ReadResult result) {
             try {
                 Iterator<HealthData> iterator = result.iterator();

                 if (iterator.hasNext()) {
                     HealthData data = iterator.next();
                     // Check the result
                 }
             } finally {
                 result.close();
             }
         }
     };
 }
