Describe the bug

I have active energy data in Health Connect, but it can't be read in Flutter app. The permission for
ACTIVE_ENERGY_BURNED is added.

With some configuration on iOS, I can read active energy.

Steps to Reproduce

  var typesAndroid = [
    HealthDataType.ACTIVE_ENERGY_BURNED,
    HealthDataType.BASAL_ENERGY_BURNED,
  ];


List<HealthDataPoint> healthData = await Health().getHealthDataFromTypes(
  types: types,
  startTime: DateTime.now().subtract(const Duration(days: 7)),
  endTime: DateTime.now(),
);

Expected Behavior

Read data for active energy

Actual Behavior

No data for active energy

What issues should are you facing? The example app is reading the all the data including the ACTIVE_ENERGY_BURNED

I am also facing the same issue. I get TOTAL_CALORIES_BURNED data but when I try to fetch BASAL_ENERGY_BURNED or ACTIVE_ENERGY_BURNED I get no data in the response.

activeEnergyData = await health.getHealthDataFromTypes( startTime: dayStart, endTime: dayEnd, types: [ HealthDataType.BASAL_ENERGY_BURNED, HealthDataType.ACTIVE_ENERGY_BURNED, ], ).then((value) { health.removeDuplicates(value); return value; });

In the console, I get
I/FLUTTER_HEALTH(21814): Getting data for BASAL_ENERGY_BURNED between 2025-05-24T18:30:00Z and 2025-05-28T18:29:59Z, filtering by []

I/FLUTTER_HEALTH(21814): Getting data for ACTIVE_ENERGY_BURNED between 2025-05-24T18:30:00Z and 2025-05-28T18:29:59Z, filtering by []

These are my permissions in AndroidManifest

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACTIVITY_RECOGNITION" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION"/> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION"/> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.health.READ_STEPS" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.health.READ_ACTIVE_CALORIES_BURNED" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.health.READ_TOTAL_CALORIES_BURNED" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.health.READ_DISTANCE" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.health.READ_EXERCISE" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.health.READ_BASAL_METABOLIC_RATE" />

Essentially, I aim to display the active calories burned by the user in my app. Since I was not getting that data, I thought I would reduce Basal Energy from Total Energy Burned to get the value, but even that is not working.

It works fine in iOS, though.
