@jd:body

<p>
  This sample demonstrates the use of the two step sensors (step detector and
  counter) and sensor batching. It shows how to register a {@link
  android.hardware.SensorEventListener} with and without batching and shows how
  these events are received.
</p>

<p>
  The Step Detector sensor fires an event when a step is detected, while the
  step counter returns the total number of steps since a listener was first
  registered for this sensor. Both sensors only count steps while a listener is
  registered.
</p>

<p>
  This sample only covers the basic case, where a listener is only registered
  while the app is running. Likewise, batched sensors can be used in the
  background (when the CPU is suspended), which requires manually flushing the
  sensor event queue before it overflows, which is not covered in this sample.
