Getting response from Galvanic Skin from Microsoft Band via Android SDK

I am developing an Android-Band app using the Microsoft SDK which does not mention the ability to get the GSR value (even if Band includes this sensor). Besides searching on the internet, I found an application (works on Windows Phone) that can show this value, "unlock" all "hidden" values ​​of the range sensors. Is it possible to achieve a similar result on Android devices?

Thank you for your consultation and sorry for my bad english. I'm new to here (although I've been hiding on this site for a very long time: P)
