My girlfriend always complain when I said I have walked a long way on the whole day.
She always think I am lazy and don't like to exercise.
I don't have proof as I don't have a smart watch or smart band.
I asked Gemini to see if I can build an app using B4A.
Here is an example using runtimepermission.PERMISSION_ACTIVITY_RECOGNITION (Phone library) and store the value into KeyValueStore.
No fancy UI so I made this a B4A example.

Update: MySteps_v1.zip (added foreground service and daily target)

I just found this class by Erel.

Physical Activity Recognition Detection

Class updated on May 2023. This class allows you to monitor the user / device physical state (walking, running, still, etc.). The state detection is based on Android location services which use low power sensors to try to detect the current activity. Once you connect your app to these services...

www.b4x.com

My example above however doesn't use Receiver, Location Services or Google Play additional jar.

Worked out of the box on my first 2 walks .. (Oppo A38) then nothing... going to do some testing as to why it stopped recording .

Very curious and could be very handy , no Smart Watch here either.

Thanks & Cheers

Edit: On a side note , In my Apps drawer it is sorted at the very end of "S" after "Swan Security" ... ? ?

Foreground service is not added yet so anyone is welcome to add more features and improve it.

Tell your girlfriend that physical exercise reduces the risk of heart attacks and various diseases, but increases the risk of infidelity
("If I become too attractive, then you become too jealous")
