observeSteps() not working

[maccomaccomaccomacco]

This is the code in the main screen of my RN app

componentDidMount() {    
        GoogleFit.isEnabled( () => {
            GoogleFit.authorize();

            GoogleFit.observeSteps((steps)=>{
                Reactotron.log(steps)
            });
            const options = {
                startDate: "2017-01-01T00:00:17.971Z",  // required ISO8601Timestamp
                endDate: (new Date()).toISOString()     // required ISO8601Timestamp
            };
            GoogleFit.getDailyStepCountSamples(options, (err, res) => {
                if (err) {
                    throw err;
                }
                Reactotron.log(res);
            })
        }) 
}

I receive the log from getDailyStepCountSamples() but observeSteps() doesn't give signs of life.

@marcoautiero try to call observeSteps after onAuthorize succeed

@StasDoskalenko I called observeSteps after onAuthorize success but not working.
Need a good example to show it working. I have tried a lot of things already.

@StasDoskalenko have the same problem. I checked my adb logs and noticed that the DataType.TYPE_STEP_COUNT_CUMULATIVE is never triggered thus never responding. It works just fine when I change he datatype to say 'TYPE_STEP_COUNT_DELTA' .

Guys I'm planning to create a good example app. Any suggestions?

[jerinjohnk]

@StasDoskalenko how about creating a sample where values similar to google Fit app are retrieved and shown. UI can be skipped. But handling stuff such as authorization, observesteps etc on all android devices. Log error if sensors not present etc.

[StasDoskalenko]

@jerinjohnk good idea!

@StasDoskalenko Do you plan to create example app?

observeSteps does not always work, the function is not called
and sometimes it returns weird data
like this (5163 number)
