public final class BodySensorLocation

  1. Object
  2. BodySensorLocation

The values of the Body Sensor Location characteristic, 0x2A38, as reported by SensorSession.getBodySensorLocation().

Worth surfacing: a wrist-worn optical sensor and a chest strap have materially different accuracy during hard efforts, and telling the user which one is feeding a reading is more honest than presenting both as equivalent.

Fields

public static final int CHEST = 1Chest – a strap; the most accurate of these placements.
public static final int WRIST = 2Wrist – an optical sensor in a watch or band.

Method details

isDefined

public static boolean isDefined(int location)

Whether location is one of the placements this profile defines.

Everything from 7 up is reserved, and a peripheral that answers with one is not describing a placement at all. Passed through, it reached the app as a real location that describe(int) could only call “Unknown” – which reads as a sensor worn somewhere unnamed rather than as no answer.

describe

public static String describe(int location)
A human-readable name for a location constant.
