Data permission

Accessing the user’s health data in Samsung Health is available after getting the user’s consent. Samsung Health Data SDK provides a data permission request feature. An app using the SDK can check the granted permissions and request permissions if more permissions are required.

Request for permissions is available with a set of permission list composed of a data type and access type. If requestPermissions() or requestPermissionsAsync() is called, the following data permission popup is shown. For example, developer will have access to heart rate data if the user of the app grants permission for Heart Rate in the Allowed to read section of the permission popup.

Apps using Samsung Health Data SDK are listed up in Samsung Health > Settings > Apps.
