Exercise Sample

This sample demonstrates managing an exercise experience using the ExerciseClient API.

Running the sample

You will need a Wear device or emulator with Health Services installed. Open the sample project in Android Studio and launch the app on your device or emulator.

On startup, the app checks the device capabilities. If the necessary exercise capabilities are available, you will see a screen like this:

When you press start, the app configures a running exercise and starts it. (You may need to use the synthetic data provider so that Health Services doesn't immediately pause the exercise due to no user activity.) While the exercise is active, the UI will show the exercise duration, heart rate bpm, calories burned, distance traveled, and the number of laps. To mark a lap, press one of the hardware buttons around the watch frame.

While an exercise is in progress, if you leave the app, an ongoing notification appears, offering quick return to the exercise screen.

On devices where the exercise capability is not available, you will see a screen like this:

Using synthetic data

On some devices, you can get Health Services to generate "fake" activity for testing purposes via the synthetic data provider. See Use synthetic data with Health Services for more information.
