Empatica plugin for RADAR-pRMT

Application to be run on an Android 5.0 (or later) device with Bluetooth Low Energy (Bluetooth 4.0 or later), to interact with the Empatica.

The plugin application only runs on an ARM architecture and because of its Bluetooth Low Energy requirement, it also requires coarse location permissions. This plugin does not collect location information.

Installation

First, request an Empatica Connect developer account from Empatica's Developer Area. Download the Empatica Android SDK there. Copy downloaded AAR empalink-2.2.aar from the Empatica Android SDK package to the libs directory of your application. Then the project can be edited with Android Studio. Add the following to your build.gradle:

repositories {
    flatDir { dirs 'libs' }
}

dependencies {
    implementation "org.radarbase:radar-android-empatica:$radarCommonsAndroidVersion"
}

Add org.radarbase.passive.empatica.E4Provider to the plugins variable of the RadarService instance in your app.

Configuration

Add the provider empatica_e4 to the Firebase Remote Config plugins variable.

Request an Empatica API key for your Empatica Connect account. Set your Empatica API key in the empatica_api_key Firebase parameter. The plugin can now be used with devices linked to your account.

To enable notifications when an Empatica device is disconnected, set empatica_notify_disconnect to true.
