Android 4.4 Step Detector and Counter

Question

Is there any documentation around Android 4.4 KitKat\'s (well specifically Nexus 5 for now) step detector and counter APIs? I tried to search a lot but did not find anything

Answer 1

Official example

In Android SDK 23 under samples/android-23/sensors/BatchStepSensor, run with:

./gradlew clean
./gradlew assembleDebug
./gradlew installDebug

Then turn on the app, enable one of the step sensors, and walk around with your phone to see the counter increment.
