How will my Stronglifts workouts show in other apps?

Stronglifts will export the name of your workouts, workout duration, and calories burned.

What if I don't get the permissions dialog when I try to enable Health Connect?

Android hides the permissions dialog if it was ever canceled or denied twice before. Once that happens, the toggle in Stronglifts can't bring it up again. The fix is to grant the permissions manually from the phone side:

  1. Open your phone's Settings and search for "Health Connect", then open it.
  2. Tap "App permissions" and find Stronglifts in the list.
  3. Open Stronglifts and turn on the exercise/workout permissions.
  4. Go back to the Stronglifts app and check the Health Connect toggle again.

If Stronglifts doesn't appear in the Health Connect app list at all, restart your phone and try the toggle once more. After this it will work.
