Extra: Data sources

Show a connections page for other data sources inside the app.

Introduction​

This feature included in rook_sdk_health_connect allows developers to retrieve a list of available API data sources to build a custom connections page.

Android Studio​

Go to the main Android Studio section to see the IDE configuration.

Getting started​

Android configuration​

Go to the main Android configuration section to see the basic configuration.

Logging​

Go to the main Logging section to configure logs.

Usage​

Initialize​

Go to the main Initialize and Update userID sections to initialize.

Get data source authorizer​

To get the authorization url for a specific data source call getDataSourceAuthorizer:

  • If the user is not authorized, an authorizationUrl is provided, otherwise authorizationUrl will be null.

Allowed values: Garmin, Oura, Polar, Fitbit, Withings, Whoop, Dexcom.

void getDataSourceAuthorizer() async {
  try {
    final authorizer = await HCRookDataSources.getDataSourceAuthorizer(
      dataSource,
      redirectUrl: null,
    );

    final url = authorizer.authorizationUrl;

    // Open url in a web view or web browser
  } catch (error) {
    // Handle error
  }
}

Get authorized data sources​

To get all authorized data sources for the current user getAuthorizedDataSources:

Please note that this only represents the user connection status, and not whether the data source is currently active (sending data) or has granted permissions.

For SDK-based data sources (such as Apple Health and Health Connect), this endpoint will return true if the user was created by SDK with the corresponding updateUserId function, means that the user is linked with ROOK via SDK, but not indicates if the user granted permissions or not.

For API-based data sources (such as Fitbit, Garmin, and Withings), true indicates that the user has authorized ROOK to retrieve data through the respective third-party platform.

void getAuthorized() async {
  try {
    final authorizedDataSources = await HCRookDataSources.getAuthorizedDataSources();

    // Success
  } catch (error) {
    // Handle error
  }
}
tip

The properties of the AuthorizedDataSources are nullable to differentiate between available and unavailable data sources.

Get authorized data sources V2​

getAuthorizedDataSourcesV2 is an improved version of getAuthorizedDataSources that returns a list of AuthorizedDataSourceV2 with the name, authorization status and image URL of each data source.

Please note that this only represents the user connection status, and not whether the data source is currently active (sending data) or has granted permissions.

For SDK-based data sources (such as Apple Health and Health Connect), this endpoint will return true if the user was created by SDK with the corresponding updateUserId function, means that the user is linked with ROOK via SDK, but not indicates if the user granted permissions or not.

For API-based data sources (such as Fitbit, Garmin, and Withings), true indicates that the user has authorized ROOK to retrieve data through the respective third-party platform.

void getAuthorized() async {
  try {
    final authorizedDataSources = await HCRookDataSources.getAuthorizedDataSourcesV2();

    // Success
  } catch (error) {
    // Handle error
  }
}

To unlink (revoke authorization) from a data source call revokeDataSource:

Allowed values: Garmin, Oura, Polar, Fitbit, Withings, Whoop, Dexcom.

void revoke() async {
  try {
    await HCRookDataSources.revokeDataSource("Fitbit");

    // Success
  } catch (error) {
    // Handle error
  }
}

Pre-built connections page​

If you don't want to create your own connections page, you can use our pre-built screen by calling presentDataSourceView:

  • redirectUrl (Optional) - After the user successfully connects to a data source, the user will be redirected to this URL.
void showDataSources() {
  HCRookDataSources.presentDataSourceView();
}
