Permission request

Samsung Health Sensor SDK requires specific permissions. Depending on the HealthTrackerType you want to measure, the following permissions are required.

HealthTrackerType	Required permission (app's target version for Android 16 or higher)
ACCELEROMETER_CONTINUOUS	`Manifest.permission.ACTIVITY_RECOGNITION
BIA_ON_DEMAND	"com.samsung.android.hardware.sensormanager.permission.READ_ADDITIONAL_HEALTH_DATA"
ECG_ON_DEMAND
EDA_CONTINUOUS
MF_BIA_ON_DEMAND
PPG_CONTINUOUS
PPG_ON_DEMAND
HEART_RATE_CONTINUOUS	`HealthPermissions.READ_HEART_RATE
SPO2_ON_DEMAND	`HealthPermissions.READ_OXYGEN_SATURATION
SKIN_TEMPERATURE_CONTINUOUS	`HealthPermissions.READ_SKIN_TEMPERATURE
SKIN_TEMPERATURE_ON_DEMAND	`HealthPermissions.READ_SKIN_TEMPERATURE
SWEAT_LOSS	Manifest.permission.ACTIVITY_RECOGNITION "com.samsung.android.hardware.sensormanager.permission.READ_ADDITIONAL_HEALTH_DATA" Both permissions are required.

Add permissions in your app’s manifest.

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BODY_SENSORS" />
<uses-permission android:name=
        "com.samsung.android.hardware.sensormanager.permission.READ_ADDITIONAL_HEALTH_DATA"/>

Check the granted permissions for "com.samsung.android.hardware.sensormanager.permission.READ_ADDITIONAL_HEALTH_DATA" with:

• ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(@NonNull Context context, @NonNull String permission)

public static boolean checkPermission(@Nullable Context context,
                                          @NonNull String[] permissions) {
    for (String permission : permissions) {
        if (context == null || ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(context,     
            permission) == PackageManager.PERMISSION_DENIED) {
            Log.i(TAG, "checkPermission : PERMISSION_DENIED : " + "permission");
            return false;
        } else {
            Log.i(TAG, "checkPermission : PERMISSION_GRANTED : " + "permission");
        }
    }
    return true;
}

If there is no permission, request the permission:

import androidx.core.app.ActivityCompat;

public class PermissionActivity extends FragmentActivity {
    private ArrayList<String> mPermissions;
    private static final String PERMISSION_KEY = "permissions"; 
    private static final int PERMISSION_REQ_TAG = 1;


    public void requestPermission(ArrayList<String> mPermissions) {
        // ... 

        String[] permissions = new String[mPermissions.size()];
        permissions = mPermissions.toArray(permissions);
        ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(this, permissions, PERMISSION_REQ_TAG);

        // ... 
    }

    @Override
    public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, 
                                               @NonNull String[] permissions, 
                                               @NonNull int[] grantResults) {
        super.onRequestPermissionsResult(requestCode, permissions, grantResults);
        if (requestCode == PERMISSION_REQ_TAG) {
        // ... 
        for (int p : grantResults) {
            if (p == PackageManager.PERMISSION_DENIED) {
                Log.i(TAG, "onRequestPermissionsResult : permission denied");
                finish();
                return;
            }
        }
        // ... 
    }
}

The permission request displays a pop-up to get the user’s consent.
