Health data types ​

Every data type the SDK supports, with its typed constant, aggregation metrics, platform availability, and the native API it maps to. Search by name, description, constant, or native identifier.

How to read an entry ​

The constant is what you use everywhere — HealthDataType.steps gives you the permissions, the read request, the delete request, and the aggregates for that type. Copy it with the button next to it.

Aggregation lists the metrics that type actually supports. If a metric is not listed, the corresponding method does not exist on the type, so the mistake is caught at compile time rather than at runtime. See Aggregate data.

Platform chips show where the type is available as a discrete HealthDataType. Nutrition is the case that surprises people: HealthKit exposes each nutrient as its own identifier, while Health Connect models the same values as fields on a single NutritionRecord. A nutrient marked HealthKit-only is still writable on Android through NutritionRecord — it just has no standalone Health Connect data type. See the nutrition recipe.

Native APIs link to Google's and Apple's own documentation for the underlying record or identifier, which is where to look when you need the platform's exact semantics for a measurement.

Verify availability before promising a feature

Filter by Both to see only the types that exist as first-class data types on Health Connect and HealthKit alike. Resolve the selected type's healthPlatformRequirements with getSupportStatusFor() before presenting the feature.
