I am trying to get personal info from Android google fit api (height, weight, gender and date of Birthday). I received the height and weight but i don't know what is the units,
Is it always received in meters and kilogram although i set it in pounds and inches?
If i will be in USA the value will be also in meters and kilogram?
How can i get the gender and Birthday from the personal info?
val dataReadRequest = DataReadRequest.Builder()
.read(DataType.TYPE_HEIGHT)
.read(DataType.TYPE_WEIGHT)
.setLimit(1)
.setTimeRange(1, Calendar.getInstance().timeInMillis, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS)
.build()
val height = dataReadResponse?.dataSets.dataPoints[0].getValue(Field.FIELD_HEIGHT).asFloat())
this is the log for all the data point for the height data type
dataPoints DataPoint{[1.68]@[1556523728544000000, 1556523728544000000,raw=0,insert=0](d:height:gms:overlay_explicit_input r:height:com.google.android.apps.fitness:user_input)}
the value of height is 1.68 - in meters, but i set in google fit 5'6"
From:
https://developers.google.com/fit/android/data-types#public_data_types
com.google.height The user's height, in meters. Body height (float—meters)
com.google.weight The user's weight. Body weight (float—kg)
So yes, the height and weight values will always be in metric.
