I am using Accelerometer for the purpose of shake detection but i want if a user will shake their devices for 8 Sec then the resulting method will be triggered. With my current code a can able to detect the shake but i want a 8sec timer too. My Current Code is
public class AccelerometerManager {
private static Context aContext=null;

private static float threshold = 15.0f;
private static int interval = 200;

// if you plans to use more than one listener

*/

}

sensorManager.unregisterListener(sensorEventListener);
}
} catch (Exception e) {}
}

List<Sensor> sensors = sensorManager.getSensorList(
Sensor.TYPE_ACCELEROMETER);
supported = new Boolean(sensors.size() > 0);
} else {
supported = Boolean.FALSE;
}
}
return supported;
}

Try below code for detecting continues shake for 8 second.

Add below code in your activity:
private SensorManager mSensorManager;
private ShakeEventListener mSensorListener;
mSensorManager = (SensorManager) getSystemService(Context.SENSOR_SERVICE);
mSensorListener = new ShakeEventListener();
mSensorListener.setOnShakeListener(new ShakeEventListener.OnShakeListener() {
public void onShake() {
Toast.makeText(this, "Shake detected!", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
});
Register for shake listener in onResume method and unregister it in onPause method as below.
@Override
protected void onResume() {
super.onResume();
mSensorManager.registerListener(mSensorListener,
mSensorManager.getDefaultSensor(Sensor.TYPE_ACCELEROMETER),
SensorManager.SENSOR_DELAY_UI);
}
@Override
protected void onPause() {
mSensorManager.unregisterListener(mSensorListener);
super.onPause();
}
