Install Sahha SDK for Android

Set up your Android project and add the Sahha SDK.

On Android, the Sahha SDK reads health and fitness data from Health Connect , Google's unified health data layer. This guide walks you through checking your project requirements, preparing your manifest, and installing the library.

Prerequisites

Set Up Android Project

The Sahha SDK requires uses-permission entries in your AndroidManifest.xml for every health sensor your app will access. Which permissions you need depends on which sensors you choose — that happens in Step 4) Enable Data Collection .

Open your manifest and add a starter set. Most apps begin with steps and sleep:

<manifest ...>

    <!-- steps -->
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.health.READ_STEPS" />

    <!-- sleep -->
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.health.READ_SLEEP" />

    <application ...>
        ...
    </application>
</manifest>

You will revisit this file when you choose your full set of sensors in Step 4) Enable Data Collection . The full list of sensor-to-permission mappings is documented there.

Install the Library

Add the Sahha repository and dependency to your Gradle files.

1. Add the repository

In your project's settings.gradle, make sure mavenCentral() is included:

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}

2. Add the dependency

In your app module's build.gradle, add the Sahha SDK:

dependencies {
    implementation 'ai.sahha.android:sahha-api:+'
}

Import the Module

Import Sahha in any file where you use the SDK:

import sdk.sahha.android.source.*
