runtime error while accessing google api in android emulator - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am trying to access the googleFit API.
It seems pretty straightforward. Get the google sign-in permissions and required authorizations then query for Step count.
My code doesn't seem to work.
and it logs only "Error!!" that's it.
Android gurus, Where am I going wrong??
Code:
fun getAuthorizationAndReadData() {
try {
MainActivity().fitSignIn(FitActionRequestCode.READ_DATA)
} catch () {
Log.i("e", "error!!!!")
}
}
MainActivity.kt
Code:
enum class FitActionRequestCode {
READ_DATA
}
private val fitnessOptions: GoogleSignInOptionsExtension = FitnessOptions.builder()
.addDataType(DataType.TYPE_STEP_COUNT_DELTA, FitnessOptions.ACCESS_READ).build()
fun fitSignIn(requestCode: FitActionRequestCode) {
if (oAuthPermissionsApproved()) {
readHistoryData()
} else {
requestCode.let {
GoogleSignIn.requestPermissions(
this,
requestCode.ordinal,
getGoogleAccount(), fitnessOptions)
}
}
}
private fun getGoogleAccount() = GoogleSignIn.getAccountForExtension(this, fitnessOptions)
private fun oAuthPermissionsApproved() = GoogleSignIn.hasPermissions(getGoogleAccount(), fitnessOptions)
private fun performActionForRequestCode(requestCode: FitActionRequestCode) = when (requestCode) {
FitActionRequestCode.READ_DATA -> readHistoryData()
}
private fun readHistoryData(): Task<DataReadResponse> {
// Begin by creating the query.
val readRequest = queryFitnessData()
// Invoke the History API to fetch the data with the query
return Fitness.getHistoryClient(this, getGoogleAccount())
.readData(readRequest)
.addOnSuccessListener { dataReadResponse ->
printData(dataReadResponse)
Log.i(ContentValues.TAG, "Data read was successful!") }
.addOnFailureListener { e ->
Log.e(ContentValues.TAG, "There was a problem reading the data.", e)
}
}
private fun queryFitnessData(): DataReadRequest {
// [START build_read_data_request]
// Setting a start and end date using a range of 1 week before this moment.
val calendar = Calendar.getInstance(TimeZone.getTimeZone("UTC"))
val now = Date()
calendar.time = now
val endTime = calendar.timeInMillis
calendar.add(Calendar.WEEK_OF_YEAR, -1)
val startTime = calendar.timeInMillis
return DataReadRequest.Builder()
.aggregate(DataType.TYPE_STEP_COUNT_DELTA, DataType.AGGREGATE_STEP_COUNT_DELTA)
.bucketByTime(1, TimeUnit.DAYS)
.setTimeRange(startTime, endTime, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS)
.build()
}
