1Android BatchStepSensor Sample
2==============================
3
4This sample demonstrates the use of the two step sensors (step detector and counter) and
5sensor batching.
6 It shows how to register a SensorEventListener with and without
7batching and shows how these events are received.
8The Step Detector sensor fires an
9event when a step is detected, while the step counter returns the total number of
10steps since a listener was first registered for this sensor.
11Both sensors only count steps while a listener is registered. This sample only covers the
12basic case, where a listener is only registered while the app is running. Likewise,
13batched sensors can be used in the background (when the CPU is suspended), which
14requires manually flushing the sensor event queue before it overflows, which is not
15covered in this sample.
