This sample shows how to use the Windows.Devices.Sensors.Pedometer API.
Note This sample was created using one of the universal uap templates available in Visual Studio. It shows how its solution is structured so it can run on both Windows 10 and Windows Phone 10.
This sample allows the user to view the default pedometer events and history available on the system. You can choose one of four scenarios:
- Events
- History
- Current steps count
Events
It demonstrates getting the default pedometer asynchronously. When you click on the 'Register ReadingChanged' button, it registers to the 'ReadingChanged' event on the default pedometer and displays pedometer readings as they are notified.
History
This demonstrates usage of History APIs for pedometer. When you click on the 'Get History' button, pedometer history for the requested timespan will be displayed. Two ways to choose the timespan is provided, which demonstrate the two overloaded ways of getting history.
Current steps count
When you click the 'Get steps count' button, it displays the last known step counts. Since 'ReadingChanged' may not be fired when there is no activity, this relies on History to get the last known step counts.
