How to refresh app upon shaking the device?

Question

I need to add a shake feature that will refresh my Android application.

All I find of documentation involves implementing the SensorListener, but Eclips

Here is another code for this:

import java.util.List;
import java.util.Timer;
import java.util.TimerTask;

import android.content.Context;
import android.hardware.Sensor;
import android.hardware.SensorEvent;
import android.hardware.SensorEventListener;
import android.hardware.SensorManager;
import android.os.Handler;

   public class AccelerometerListener implements SensorEventListener {

        private SensorManager sensorManager;
        private List sensors;
        private Sensor sensor;
        private long lastUpdate = -1;
        private long currentTime = -1;
        private Main parent;
        private Timer timer;
        private int shakes;
        private static final Handler mHandler = new Handler();

        private float last_x, last_y, last_z;
        private float current_x, current_y, current_z, currenForce;
        private static final int FORCE_THRESHOLD = 500;
        private final int DATA_X = SensorManager.DATA_X;
        private final int DATA_Y = SensorManager.DATA_Y;
        private final int DATA_Z = SensorManager.DATA_Z;

        public AccelerometerListener(Main parent) {
            SensorManager sensorService = (SensorManager) parent
                    .getSystemService(Context.SENSOR_SERVICE);

            this.sensorManager = sensorService;
            if (sensorService == null)
                return;

            this.sensors = sensorManager.getSensorList(Sensor.TYPE_ACCELEROMETER);
            if (sensors.size() > 0) {
                sensor = sensors.get(0);
            }

            this.parent = parent;
        }

        public void start() {
            if (sensor == null)
                return;

            sensorManager.registerListener(this, sensor,
                    SensorManager.SENSOR_DELAY_GAME);
        }

        public void stop() {
            if (sensorManager == null)
                return;

            sensorManager.unregisterListener(this);
        }

        public void onAccuracyChanged(Sensor s, int valu) {

        }

        public void onSensorChanged(SensorEvent event) {

            if (event.sensor.getType() != Sensor.TYPE_ACCELEROMETER)
                return;

            currentTime = System.currentTimeMillis();

            if ((currentTime - lastUpdate) > 50) {
                long diffTime = (currentTime - lastUpdate);
                lastUpdate = currentTime;

                current_x = event.values[DATA_X];
                current_y = event.values[DATA_Y];
                current_z = event.values[DATA_Z];

                currenForce = Math.abs(current_x + current_y + current_z - last_x
                        - last_y - last_z)
                        / diffTime * 10000;

                if (currenForce > FORCE_THRESHOLD) {
                    shakeDetected();
                }
                last_x = current_x;
                last_y = current_y;
                last_z = current_z;

            }
        }

        private void shakeDetected() {
            shakes++;

            if (shakes == 1) {
                if (timer != null) {
                    timer.cancel();
                }

                timer = new Timer();
                timer.schedule(new TimerTask() {

                    @Override
                    public void run() {
                        if (shakes > 3) {
                            mHandler.post(new Runnable() {

                                public void run() {
                                    // shake
                                }
                            });
                        }

                        shakes = 0;
                    }
                }, 500);
            }
        }
    }
