Android Question Step counter with sensor

[06Pierrick06]

Hi all

I am referring to this (old) post:

https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/kitkat-step-detector.40563/#post-242811, and the lines suggested by Erel :

AddSensor(18, "TYPE_STEP_DETECTOR", False)
AddSensor(19, "TYPE_STEP_COUNTER", False)

When I execute the sensors exemple with these 2 lines added, the step counter always displays a fixed value while Accelerometer, Gyrocope, Light etc... have changing values :

TYPE_STEP_COUNTER = 369,031

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
    If FirstTime Then
        SensorsMap.Initialize
        Dim ps As PhoneSensors 'This object is only used to access the type constants.
        AddSensor(ps.TYPE_ACCELEROMETER, "ACCELEROMETER", True)
        AddSensor(ps.TYPE_GYROSCOPE, "GYROSCOPE", True)
        AddSensor(ps.TYPE_LIGHT, "LIGHT", False)
        AddSensor(ps.TYPE_MAGNETIC_FIELD, "MAGNETIC", True)
        AddSensor(ps.TYPE_ORIENTATION, "ORIENTATION", True)
        AddSensor(ps.TYPE_PRESSURE, "PRESSURE", False)
        AddSensor(ps.TYPE_PROXIMITY, "PROXIMITY", False)
        AddSensor(ps.TYPE_TEMPERATURE, "TEMPERATURE", False)
        AddSensor(18, "TYPE_STEP_DETECTOR", False)
        AddSensor(19, "TYPE_STEP_COUNTER", False)
    End If

    For i = 0 To SensorsMap.Size - 1
        Dim ps As PhoneSensors
        ps = SensorsMap.GetKeyAt(i)
        Dim lbl As Label
        lbl.Initialize("")
        lbl.TextColor = Colors.White
        Activity.AddView(lbl, 10dip, 10dip + 50dip * i, 100%x - 10dip, 45dip)
        SensorsLabels.Put(ps, lbl)
    Next
    
End Sub

What is wrong please ?
NB : Of course, I walked during the test

Are you setting / requesting the necessary permissions?

Hi there I am referring to this post: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/kitkat-step-detector.40563/#post-242811, and the lines AddSensor(18, "TYPE_STEP_DETECTOR", False) AddSensor(19, "TYPE_STEP_COUNTER", False) Sorry to come back on such an old topic but when I execute this code on...

Hi Mangojack and thanks for your time and reply.

I changed manifest with android:targetSdkVersion="33" and I added CheckAndRequest("android.permission.ACTIVITY_RECOGNITION")

Result is perfect !

Thanks again
