Stopping Sensor from another Thread

I want to stop Sensor manager activity (unregister it) from another Thread or class after some operations to be performed. How can I do that?

Solution

  • Look Here. It might help you.

    ShakeListener.java

    Made Instance variable in ShakeListener class.
private Sensor accelerometer;
SensorManager sensorManager;

public ShakeListener(Context context) {
    sensorManager = (SensorManager)this.context.getSystemService(Context.SENSOR_SERVICE);
    accelerometer = sensorManager.getDefaultSensor(Sensor.TYPE_ACCELEROMETER);
    sensorManager.registerListener(this, accelerometer, SensorManager.SENSOR_DELAY_NORMAL);
}

    To unregister from another thread or class.

    Do this:

    private ShakeListener shakeListener;  //Instance variable
shakeListener = new ShakeListener(this);
shakeListener.sensorManager.unregisterListener(shakeListener, shakeListener.sensorManager.getDefaultSensor(Sensor.TYPE_ACCELEROMETER));
