Code suggests Google working on new fitness API for Android

Get ready to be fit with Google. The Internet giant seems to have stood up and taken notice of fitness devices and wearables flooding the market. Google has reportedly started working on a new API, which would let developers get more accurate results from their fitness tracking apps on Android.   Google Operating System, an unofficial Google-centric blog, stumbled on to code for an Android Fitness API that the company is reportedly working on. The codes would allow apps to view and edit fitness data received from any supported wearables and devices. They can also “view and edit your fitness tracking, health and activities data, including reading and writing raw and transformed data."   [caption id=“attachment_216474” align=“alignnone” width=“640”] ![The code lines hint at an API coming up ](http://tech.firstpost.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/code.jpg) The code lines hint at an API coming up[/caption]   This code would also allow Google to collect data from multiple sources, and link it to a Google account, which will in turn help the app data sync across devices. The apps will be able to process it, give more accurate data, show charts and more with the help of this seemingly powerful API. This not only eases things for developers, but helps users get a better idea of their data.   A number of smartphone makers such as LG, Sony and Samsung as well as a big mobile player Qualcomm are making their foray into wearable computing and all have close ties with Google. With **Samsung’s Galaxy Gear** , **LG’s Lifeband** and more, the need for compatibility with more smartphones becomes an important for the ecosystem. This API, baked into Android, could easily provide that.
