Flutter - Health package not loading STEP data

Question

I've used health-3.0.3 in my flutter application to get the Google fit data. I'm able to get every data other than STEP-data which shows zero always.

You can refer to the health package here Health 3.0.3 Flutter

This is the code block to access the STEP datatype in my application

List<HealthDataType> types = [
      HealthDataType.STEPS,
      HealthDataType.WEIGHT,
      //HealthDataType.HEIGHT,
    ];

    setState(() => _state = AppState.FETCHING_DATA);

    /// You MUST request access to the data types before reading them
    bool accessWasGranted = await health.requestAuthorization(types);

    double steps = 0;

    if (accessWasGranted) {
      try {
        /// Fetch new data
        List<HealthDataPoint> healthData =
            await health.getHealthDataFromTypes(startDate, endDate, types);

        /// Save all the new data points
        _healthDataList.addAll(healthData);
      } catch (e) {
        print("Caught exception in getHealthDataFromTypes: $e");
      }

      /// Filter out duplicates
      _healthDataList = HealthFactory.removeDuplicates(_healthDataList);

      /// Print the results
      _healthDataList.forEach((x) {
        print("Data point: $x");
        steps += (x.value as double);
      });

      print("Steps: $steps");

You can refer to the full code under the examples tab in the given link. Does anyone know what's wrong here?

Have you confirmed the accessWasGranted is true using debug mode and the step count is shown on GoogleFit App correctly? — takinok

health: 3.0.4 is more stable, when I'm writing this answer.

From Android 10. you have to add ACTIVITY_RECOGNITION for getting STEP Count permission in AndroidManifest.xml.

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACTIVITY_RECOGNITION" />

And then using permission_handler ask for permission.

if (Platform.isAndroid) {
  final permissionStatus = Permission.activityRecognition.request();
  if (await permissionStatus.isDenied ||
      await permissionStatus.isPermanentlyDenied) {
    showToast(
        'activityRecognition permission required to fetch your steps count');
    return;
  }
}
