Android 10 - ACTIVITY_RECOGNITION

[Feduch]

Hi!

On Android 10 getting PlatformException

I/flutter (11492): PlatformException(FitKit, 10: SecurityException: com.google.step_count.delta requires android.permission.ACTIVITY_RECOGNITION, null) I/flutter (11492): #0 StandardMethodCodec.decodeEnvelope (package:flutter/src/services/message_codecs.dart:569) I/flutter (11492): #1 MethodChannel._invokeMethod (package:flutter/src/services/platform_channel.dart:156) I/flutter (11492): <asynchronous suspension> I/flutter (11492): #2 MethodChannel.invokeListMethod (package:flutter/src/services/platform_channel.dart:342) I/flutter (11492): <asynchronous suspension> I/flutter (11492): #3 FitKit.read.<anonymous closure> (package:fit_kit/src/fit_kit.dart:0) I/flutter (11492): <asynchronous suspension>

How to fix it?

I am also facing this issue after changing the targetSdkVersion and compileSdkVersion to 29 and I think this is something to do with new privacy changes in the new Android 10. More info on the below link.

https://developer.android.com/about/versions/10/privacy/changes#physical-activity-recognition

I was able to solve this by manually asking the permission for ACTIVITY_RECOGNITION using permission handler package and also added below line to AndroidManifest.xml file

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACTIVITY_RECOGNITION" />

Is there any way the fitkit package can handle this?

Hi!

Code how you can request access to activity on 10 android.

    if (Platform.isAndroid) {
      var androidInfo = await DeviceInfoPlugin().androidInfo;
      int sdkInt = androidInfo.version.sdkInt;

      if (sdkInt > 28) {
        bool activityRecognitionStatus =
            await Permission.activityRecognition.status.isGranted;

        if (!activityRecognitionStatus) {
          if (await Permission.activityRecognition.request().isGranted) {}
        }
      }
    }
  }`

@Feduch I think that it's really not obvious that this snippet is required for FitKit to work on Android phones! Why isn't this logic part of FitKit.requestPermissions or another helper method, let's say FitKit.requestSystemPermissions?

At very least it should be explicitly documented in the README that such snippet is required, or even included in the example code!
