import java.time.Instant

suspend fun readSexualActivity(
    client: HealthConnectClient,
    startTime: Instant,
    endTime: Instant,
): List<SexualActivityRecord> {
    val response = client.readRecords(
        ReadRecordsRequest(
            SexualActivityRecord::class,
            timeRangeFilter = TimeRangeFilter.between(startTime, endTime),
        )
    )
    // One page of up to pageSize records (default 1000); follow
    // response.pageToken for the rest.
    return response.records
}

HealthKit counterpart

No verified HealthKit counterpart. The cross-platform matrix only pairs metrics checked against both Apple’s and Google’s documentation, and SexualActivityRecord is not among them yet. A similarly named Apple type may exist on the HealthKit reference, but a name match is not a verified mapping.

The metric on other platforms

This guide lists SexualActivityRecord beside the types on the other platforms this site covers whose own descriptions name the same metric, each quoted, with how each one is read.

Questions

What permission does SexualActivityRecord need?

Google's Health Connect data-types table (read 2026-10-03) declares android.permission.health.READ_SEXUAL_ACTIVITY for reading SexualActivityRecord and android.permission.health.WRITE_SEXUAL_ACTIVITY for writing it, and says apps must declare permissions in the manifest before requesting them.

Can you aggregate SexualActivityRecord with AggregateRequest?

Not directly. As read on 2026-10-03, Google's Jetpack reference defines no AggregateMetric constants on SexualActivityRecord, so there is no metric to put in an AggregateRequest. Read the records with readRecords and a ReadRecordsRequest, and compute any summary yourself.

Which constants does SexualActivityRecord define?

Google's reference lists 3 constants on SexualActivityRecord, including PROTECTION_USED_PROTECTED = 1, PROTECTION_USED_UNKNOWN = 0 and PROTECTION_USED_UNPROTECTED = 2. Store the constant name or the value it maps to, and treat values you do not recognise as unknown.

Is SexualActivityRecord an interval, instantaneous or series record?

Google's data-types table lists SexualActivityRecord as Instantaneous, and defines that column as indicating "whether the data is recorded at an instant in time or over an interval". Its mandatory fields are metadata, protectionUsed and time.
