AndroidHealthConnectAuthorizationProvider

Initialize Health Connect and request its permissions

  • Stable unknown
  • Release candidate since 1.16.1-rc.3
  • Development since 1.16.1-dev.2111+9796905

Wrap an Android import screen with this provider to initialize Health Connect, request the record permissions the feature needs, and re-check access whenever the app returns to the foreground.

import { ActivityIndicator } from "react-native";
import { DataSync } from "@ovok/native/data-sync";

<DataSync.AndroidHealthConnectAuthorizationProvider
  readIdentifiers={["Weight", "Steps"]}
  fallback={<ActivityIndicator />}
  onAuthorizationStatusChange={setHealthConnectStatus}
>
  <DataSync.AndroidHealthSync dataToSync={androidDataToSync} />
</DataSync.AndroidHealthConnectAuthorizationProvider>;

Props

Every prop, with its type and description, is listed in the @ovok/native/data-sync API reference.

Status

The root state can be unknown, shouldRequest, requesting, authorized, refused, or error. An optional error explains initialization or permission failures.

When backgroundAccess is true, the separate backgroundAccess status can be authorized, shouldRequest, refused, or unsupported. Background access is independent of foreground permissions; declining it does not block foreground reads.

Use the status callback to distinguish a missing permission from unavailable Health Connect. Declare the matching Android manifest permissions as part of the native build; runtime requests cannot add missing manifest declarations.

Native setup

Enable the SDK's healthConnect config plugin and add only the android.permission.health.READ_* and optional WRITE_* permissions that match the configured record types. For scheduled background imports, also configure the Android background service and headless task described in background sync.

See installation and native setup and the HealthKit and Health Connect guide.
