Hi there,

 

Can fitbit companion app communicate with Android app?

May be through socket, messages, file transfer, or any other possible way?

 

Thanks,

Yes, it can pull from a different native app. You can open a TCP socket for listening on your app and have the companion use fetch.

The opposite, unfortunately, doesn't work. Feel free to vote on my request: https://community.fitbit.com/t5/Feature-Suggestions/add-support-for-listening-to-a-port-in-companion...

I know a blood sugar monitoring clock face called Glance (not mine) uses a TCP socket opened by another program called xdrip to pull blood sugar measurements. May be useful as an example.
