I am trying to hit an API when user shake a device 10 times. I have tried many git sample and stack overflow solution but non of them did solve my problem. Some of them dete

Answer 1

have a static variable that gets incremented every time a shake is detected.

static int count = 0;
public void onSensorChanged(SensorEvent event) {
if (event.sensor.getType() == Sensor.TYPE_ACCELEROMETER) {
    long curTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
    if ((curTime - mLastShakeTime) > MIN_TIME_BETWEEN_SHAKES_MILLISECS) {

        float x = event.values[0];
        float y = event.values[1];
        float z = event.values[2];

        double acceleration = Math.sqrt(Math.pow(x, 2) +
                Math.pow(y, 2) +
                Math.pow(z, 2)) - SensorManager.GRAVITY_EARTH;

        if (acceleration > SHAKE_THRESHOLD) {
            mLastShakeTime = curTime;
            count++;
            if(count==10){
                //your code goes here
            }
        }
    }
}
