Google fit API, onDatapoint method is not being invoked

Question

I am not able to get step count. I\'ve been stuck on getting the onDataPoint method to be called. This code is almost correct. I am not able to find why it is not s

Answer 1

(As solved in the comments) The issue is that TYPE_STEP_COUNT_CUMULATIVE is not a raw data type—Google uses a combination of sensors, accelerometer, machine learning, etc. to determine step count. So the .setDataSourceTypes(DataSource.TYPE_RAW) line needs to be removed.

OP noticed that just removing the line gives less accurate results than replacing it with DataSource.TYPE_DERIVED.

Also, the Google Fit FAQ has an example which uses TYPE_DERIVED.
