Creating helpful fitness experiences with Health Services and Health Connect
summary
Android offers Health Services on Wear OS for sensor-driven exercise, plus Health Connect on phones for centralized storage and granular permissions (Android SDK 28+); Google Fit API is deprecated through end of 2024. Use ExerciseClient/MeasureClient/PassiveMonitoringClient to capture metrics, then bundle uploads with WorkManager. Options to get watch data to phone are the Wearable Data Layer or direct cloud upload; note background-read limits on Health Connect and device capability checks.
