I got a laugh out of seeing this supported in VisionOS.

sfc323• 3 years ago

Proposed extension:

SexualActivityRecord( @NonNull Instant time, ZoneOffset zoneOffset, int protectionUsed, @NonNull Metadata metadata, @NonNull Position String[], @NonNull Satisfied Boolean, @NonNull PartnerCount Integer )

duration? better make that a float, not in int ....

sfc323• 3 years ago

Could be an int if measured in seconds...

1letterunixname3• 3 years ago

It's measured in nanoseconds for extra precision. Unfortunately, sizeof(int) == 4 so it's 4.29 seconds. ;)

I was going to suggest @Nullable Partners Contact[], but Integer with a default value of 0 is probably simpler.

Curious is that just an interface for client apps to build and push the data or there is a native support in the health app in android that’s not exposed yet (at least I don’t have any options to insert these data in the health app).

Curious there is no PoopRecord, considering how important that is.

That's maintained by your municipality, as they sift through the sewers looking for coronavirus levels.

feoren• 3 years ago

I thought it was brilliant when I first heard about them measuring coronavirus levels through sewage. Honest question: what's your problem? Why are you mad about that?

Is there an accompanying VenerealDiseaseRecord?

That seems like the sort of thing that this would tie to, seeing as this tracks prophylactic status and nothing else.

1letterunixname3• 3 years ago

And don't forget the VenerealDiseaseDisclosureRecord and SexuallyTransmittedDiseaseTestResultRecord. Unfortunately, they both require a Google and a Facebook login.

Kind of annoying that the return value of getProtectionUsed() is supposed to be Protection(), but clicking on that link returns a 404.

I know the returned values are probably the above-defined PROTECTION_* constants, but "not having to guess" is precisely what documentation is for.

<Insert joke about programmers not testing this documentation here.>

This will never be exposed in a data leak. It will never be used in legal proceedings. It will never be used to embarrass politicians. These records will never contain any errors. It is absolutely harmless to share this information with advertisers, data brokers, and government agencies.

And maybe just as sensitive, ovulation record.

Presumably, an app developer needs to save data in this format for android to ever use it. Github - which is not the universal published code repository - only has 178 code instances [0] that create this kind of record, 95 in kotlin and 4 in typescript (others are text, xml, long tail formats).

I would venture that an android app that allows people to self record a sexual experience will use their own format, presumably to capture more of the dimensions available (ex participants, location).

Cool, but what kind of sexual activity? It's non-binary.

pyuser583• 3 years ago

equals method? There’s no participant value, so could the equals method be used to match sexual partners?

dusted• 3 years ago

That's kind of a weird API, not indicating a list of partners, not indicating duration, methods, whether climax was achieved (or by whom) or whether the time indicates start or end of event.. it's all around a weird structure, on top of it being a weird topic for an OS to provide API for.
