public final class QuantitySample

  1. Object
  2. HealthSample
  3. QuantitySample

A numeric measurement with a unit – the most common kind of health sample.

QuantitySample weight = QuantitySample.create(
        HealthDataType.BODY_MASS,
        new HealthQuantity(72.5, HealthUnit.KILOGRAM),
        System.currentTimeMillis());
weight.setRecordingMethod(RecordingMethod.MANUAL_ENTRY);

Methods

public static QuantitySample create(HealthDataType type, HealthQuantity quantity, long instantMillis)An instantaneous measurement.
public static QuantitySample create(HealthDataType type, HealthQuantity quantity, long startMillis, long endMillis)A measurement spanning an interval.
public HealthQuantity getQuantity()The measured value together with its unit.
public double getValue(HealthUnit unit)Shorthand for getQuantity().getValue(unit).
public String toString()Returns a string representation of the object.

Method details

create

public static QuantitySample create(HealthDataType type, HealthQuantity quantity, long instantMillis)
An instantaneous measurement.

Throws

IllegalArgumentException
if the type is interval-only, such as HealthDataType.STEPS – a step count belongs to a span of time, never to a moment.

create

public static QuantitySample create(HealthDataType type, HealthQuantity quantity, long startMillis, long endMillis)
A measurement spanning an interval.

getQuantity

public HealthQuantity getQuantity()
The measured value together with its unit. Read a number out of it with HealthQuantity.getValue(HealthUnit), which forces the unit to be named at the call site.

getValue

public double getValue(HealthUnit unit)
Shorthand for getQuantity().getValue(unit).

Throws

IllegalArgumentException
if unit measures a different dimension than this sample’s value.

toString

public String toString()
Returns a string representation of the object. In general, the toString method returns a string that “textually represents” this object. The result should be a concise but informative representation that is easy for a person to read. It is recommended that all subclasses override this method. The toString method for class Object returns a string consisting of the name of the class of which the object is an instance, the at-sign character `@’, and the unsigned hexadecimal representation of the hash code of the object. In other words, this method returns a string equal to the value of: getClass().getName() + ‘@’ + Integer.toHexString(hashCode())
