It shows how to register a {@link 11 android.hardware.SensorEventListener} with and without batching and shows how 12 these events are received. 13 </p> 14 15 <p> 16 The Step Detector sensor fires an event when a step is detected, while the 17 step counter returns the total number of steps since a listener was first 18 registered for this sensor. Both sensors only count steps while a listener is 19 registered. 20 </p> 21 22 <p> 23 This sample only covers the basic case, where a listener is only registered 24 while the app is running. Likewise, batched sensors can be used in the 25 background (when the CPU is suspended), which requires manually flushing the 26 sensor event queue before it overflows, which is not covered in this sample. 27 </p> 28
