Describe the bug

I have done several tests by changing the value of includeManualEntry and then printing the data points, includeManualEntry seems to work correctly and excludes the values I manually added on google fit. However when it is true, the values I added manually are marked as false by isManualEntry. At the moment I have only tried it on google fit but I wanted to point this out, the documentation also about these parameters is very lacking so I don't even know if this is correct behavior because it is a limitation of google fit or not.

  List<HealthDataPoint> stepsList = await health.getHealthDataFromTypes(
              startTime:  dateStart,
              endTime: now,
              types: [HealthDataType.STEPS],
              includeManualEntry: true
          );

          for(HealthDataPoint stepsData in stepsList){

             print("Steps:");
             print(stepsData.value);
             print(stepsData.isManualEntry);
             print(stepsData.dateFrom);
          }

To Reproduce

Using google fit add steps and print the isManualEntry value

Expected behavior

isManualEntry value is true for the data point i have added

Actual behavior

isManualEntry value is always false

Did you find the solution?

[LorisTrainect]

No actually not, it would be useful for us to take only the data not manually added but given this problem it is not possible and we have not found solutions

I have the same problem, i need health connect to give me the steps that were not manually added to google fit

[inochiconcept]

Issue still not solved and probably won't be solved in the next version as the last commits didn't fix it. The plugin still not using the [recordingMethod] from HC API

var dataPoints = dataSet.dataPoints if (!includeManualEntry) { dataPoints = dataPoints.filterIndexed { _, dataPoint -> !dataPoint.originalDataSource .streamName .contains( "user_input" ) }

I have opened a PR (#1023) to attempt to resolve this issue for Health Connect (as we are removing Google Fit support as of version 11.0.0) by providing you with the RecordingMethod from the record metadata.

I would appreciate if you could test it out.

However, for us to know whether a record is manually added or not, the app that writes the data needs to include it as part of the metadata. Regarding filtering out manually added steps, I have noticed that steps manually added to Google Fit are written with Metadata.RECORDING_METHOD_UNKNOWN, and therefore I'm not sure how to differentiate the two types of steps. If you have any ideas I would love to hear them.
