Heart rate sensor API for Android

Question

Google has published apis with respect to wearable devices. Since many smart watch manufactures state they have a heart rate sensor, I'm wondering if android published apis for it. I checked the web and didn't find anything.

Anyone who's interested in wearable developing that happens to know about it?

Thanks.

Answer 1

(As of now) those APIs belong to each smartwatch maker not Google. Please check my project here:

and specifically this file:

to see how to use the heart rate sensor API on the Samsung Gear Live.

Best.
