TriggerEventListener

Class Overview

This class is the listener used to handle Trigger Sensors. Trigger Sensors are sensors that trigger an event and are automatically disabled. TYPE_SIGNIFICANT_MOTION is one such example.

SensorManager lets you access the device's sensors. Get an instance of SensorManager by calling Context.getSystemService() with the argument SENSOR_SERVICE.

Here's an example setup for a TriggerEventListener:

 class TriggerListener extends TriggerEventListener {
     public void onTrigger(TriggerEvent event) {
          // Do Work.

     // As it is a one shot sensor, it will be canceled automatically.
     // SensorManager.requestTriggerSensor(this, mSigMotion); needs to
     // be called again, if needed.
     }
 }
 public class SensorActivity extends Activity {
     private final SensorManager mSensorManager;
     private final Sensor mSigMotion;
     private final TriggerEventListener mListener = new TriggerEventListener();

     public SensorActivity() {
         mSensorManager = (SensorManager)getSystemService(SENSOR_SERVICE);
         mSigMotion = mSensorManager.getDefaultSensor(Sensor.TYPE_SIGNIFICANT_MOTION);
     }

     protected void onResume() {
         super.onResume();
         mSensorManager.requestTriggerSensor(mListener, mSigMotion);
     }

     protected void onPause() {
         super.onPause();
         // Call disable to ensure that the trigger request has been canceled.
         mSensorManager.cancelTriggerSensor(mListener, mSigMotion);
     }

 }
 

Summary

[Expand] Inherited Methods

From class java.lang.Object Object clone() Creates and returns a copy of this Object. boolean equals(Object o) Compares this instance with the specified object and indicates if they are equal. void finalize() Invoked when the garbage collector has detected that this instance is no longer reachable. final Class<?> getClass() Returns the unique instance of Class that represents this object's class. int hashCode() Returns an integer hash code for this object. final void notify() Causes a thread which is waiting on this object's monitor (by means of calling one of the wait() methods) to be woken up. final void notifyAll() Causes all threads which are waiting on this object's monitor (by means of calling one of the wait() methods) to be woken up. String toString() Returns a string containing a concise, human-readable description of this object. final void wait() Causes the calling thread to wait until another thread calls the notify() or notifyAll() method of this object. final void wait(long millis, int nanos) Causes the calling thread to wait until another thread calls the notify() or notifyAll() method of this object or until the specified timeout expires. final void wait(long millis) Causes the calling thread to wait until another thread calls the notify() or notifyAll() method of this object or until the specified timeout expires.
