react-native-samsung-health-launcher

Android-only React Native helper for opening Samsung Health or its permission screen.

This package is useful when a Samsung Health integration needs to send the user out of the app to:

• open the Samsung Health app itself
• open Samsung Health permission settings for your app

On iOS and other non-Android platforms, the exported methods return false.

Platform support

• Android: supported
• iOS: no-op, returns false

Installation

yarn add react-native-samsung-health-launcher

or

npm install react-native-samsung-health-launcher

React Native autolinking handles Android integration automatically.

Usage

import {
  openSamsungHealth,
  openSamsungHealthPermissions,
} from 'react-native-samsung-health-launcher';

const openedApp = await openSamsungHealth();
const openedPermissions = await openSamsungHealthPermissions();

API

openSamsungHealth(): Promise<boolean>

Attempts to open Samsung Health using the installed launcher activity.

Returns:

• true if an Android activity was launched
• false if Samsung Health could not be opened or the platform is unsupported

openSamsungHealthPermissions(): Promise<boolean>

Attempts to open Samsung Health's permission screen for the current app. If that screen cannot be resolved, it falls back to opening Samsung Health itself.

Returns:

• true if an Android activity was launched
• false if no matching activity could be opened or the platform is unsupported

Notes

• Samsung Health must already be installed on the device.
• This package only opens Samsung Health screens. It does not grant permissions or integrate with Samsung Health data APIs by itself.
• If Samsung changes internal activity names or intent handling in a future Samsung Health release, the package may need an update.
