Sensor.TYPE_HEART_BEAT returns null

[travis51]

I'm trying to access the heart beat sensor (not heart rate) on a ticwatch c2. However, calling getDefaultSensor(Sensor.TYPE_HEART_BEAT) from the Android sensor API from my application returns null. Has anyone had experience with this issue or know how to fix it?

Code: Select all

mSensorManager = (SensorManager) getSystemService(Service.SENSOR_SERVICE);
Sensor sensor1 = mSensorManager.getDefaultSensor(Sensor.TYPE_HEART_BEAT);
mSensorManager.registerListener(HeartRateDataService.this, sensor1, SensorManager.SENSOR_DELAY_FASTEST);

if (sensor1 == null) {
           Log.d(TAG,"Sensor is null");
 }

Running the above code willreturn a null sensor1

Greetings travis51!

Moved your topic to Ticwatch Development. I'll see if I can get an answer about your issue.

The R&D Leader responds:

TicWatch C2 doesn’t have a TYPE_HEART_BEAT sensor.

All supported sensors can be listed via the following command:

Code: Select all

$ adb shell dumpsys sensorservice

End response

Hope this helps!
