[FEATURE REQUEST] - Google Fit Integration

[edersong]

Please, integrate Fitness with Google Fit to have all exercises and measurements from there locally available and synchronized.

[IgnisDa]

@edersong Does Google Fit allow custom measurements? I can't see any mention of it in their API.

[edersong]

Hello, @IgnisDa
I think not.

[IgnisDa]

Then what exactly would you want in a google fit integration?

[edersong]

Hi @IgnisDa
Let me explain:
Most of all current apps are able to syncronise with Google Fit and feed Google Fit with our metrics depending of the app.
Google Fit, in this case, works as an agregator of all our metrics.
Said that, Google Fit has a poor interface to provide our metrics and only available from it's app.
Solution that I'm thinking:
Syncronise (or it can be called as a get (one way)) all of our metrics (all of can be get from Ryot) to be able to:

• No need to feed Ryot with our metrics / exercises manually.
• Have them stored locally.
• Be able to consult out of an app.
• Be able to have better charts to consult progress.
• Ryot be able to collect our information from all other apps thru Google Fit.

Thanks for your interest in adding this feature and the excellent work on Ryot. I'm so impressed with the app quality. ;-)

[IgnisDa]

Ah. So you want Ryot to download data from Google Fit and display that?

[edersong]

Yes, download and keep them available locally to display!!

I think the better way would be to integrate Google's Health Connect instead. It is a service for cross-platform fitness data sync. It is already used by many apps and services like Samsung Health, Fitbit, MyFitnessPal, etc. Once Health Connect is integrated, users can sync or import data with/from anything that supports Health Connect.

[edersong]

Surely, will be great to see Google Health Connect integration!!

can we also add an Apple Health integration to this feature?
