OmniCare SDK (For Android)
Introduction
We build up the medical IoT platform called OmniCare, collecting different kinds of vital signs data from our partners’ devices, in order to be more convenient for third party integration with their application we have developed the OmniCare SDK.
It can easy to communicate with the supported devices, such as create a connection channel, connect device, upload device vital signs data to OmniCare and retrieve the vital signs data back from OmniCare.
System Requirements
Target OS: Android 5.0 (API Level 21) or higher.
How it works
See the sequence diagram below, it shows how does OmniCare SDK work.
Getting Started
Adding the OmniCare SDK to an Android Studio Project
The OmniCare SDK is distributed as aar file. To add it to your project, copy OmniCareSDK.aar to the libs folder and add the following to your build.gradle.

}

implementation(name: 'OmniCareSDK', ext: 'aar')
}Permissions & Service
Add the properties in manifest file. For Android 6.0+, users grant permissions to apps while the app is running, not when they install the app. Please refer official document to add necessary code: https://developer.android.com/training/permissions/requesting.html.

The OmniCare SDK has dependencies on the following third-party library that will need to be included in you project.

Before using the OmniCare SDK, you need to initialize it first. Add a call to AsusLifeOmniCare.initialize() in the onCreate() method of your Application class. (If you gona build with Garmin devices, please be sure to pass the license key to the init method)

AsusLifeOmniCare.initialize(context, account, password, new AsusLifeOmniCareInitializationCallback() {
@Override
public void onSuccess() {
// Called when the initializing process completes successfully.
}
@Override
public void onFailed(AsusLifeOmniCareInitializationException e) {
// Called if initializing fails.
}
});Device Communication
Finding OmniCare Devices
The first step in communication is finding a device to communicate with. The BLE scanning APIs provided by the Android SDK are used for this.
After you hold the Location permission, you have also to verify that Location services are enabled before starting the scan.

private void verifyLocationServices() {
final LocationManager manager = (LocationManager) getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
if (!manager.isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER) && !manager.isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER)) {
buildAlertMessageNoGps();
}
}
With the prerequisites taken care of, we can start the scan. BluetoothLeScanner requires a ScanCallback to return results of the scan. AsusLifeDeviceScanCallback is provided to filter the scan results to only include OmniCare devices that are supported by the SDK. You must extend this class to get the results of the scan.

// Called when Bluetooth Low Energy start to scan.
}
@Override
public void onScanFinished() {
// Called when Bluetooth Low Energy scan finished.
}
@Override
public void onScanFailed() {
// Called when Bluetooth Low Energy scan failed.
}
};
…
DeviceManager deviceManager = AsusLifeOmniCare.getDeviceManager();
deviceManager.startScan(asusLifeDeviceScanCallback, millis);
