SimpleSteps

SimpleSteps is a sample application which demonstrates the usage of the Step Counter API in Windows Phone 8.1. This application displays a graph of user's steps during current day. The user is able to see the steps from the last seven days by using the application bar buttons.

1. Instructions

Learn about the Lumia SensorCore SDK from the Lumia Developer's Library. The example requires the Lumia SensorCore SDK's NuGet package but will retrieve it automatically (if missing) on first build.

To build the application you need to have Windows 8.1 and Windows Phone SDK 8.1 installed.

Using the Windows Phone 8.1 SDK:

1. Open the SLN file: File > Open Project, select the file SimpleSteps.sln
2. Remove the "AnyCPU" configuration (not supported by the Lumia SensorCore SDK) or simply select ARM
3. Select the target 'Device'.
4. Press F5 to build the project and run it on the device.

Please see the official documentation for deploying and testing applications on Windows Phone devices: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg588378%28v=vs.92%29.aspx

2. Implementation

The core functionality is in the MainPage.xaml.cs file, which demonstrates the usage of Step Counter API that is initialized (if supported).

The API is called through the CallSenseApiAsync() helper function to handle the errors when the required features are disabled in the system settings. Initialize() function contains the compatibility check for devices that have different sensorCore SDK service.

LoadDaySteps() is a main function that loads steps for the selected day and updates the screen with the correct data by calling UpdateScreen() method. It will be displayed a graph of user's steps during current day or from the last seven days, by using the application bar buttons.
