Can't get the ShakeDetector to stop

[timbremer]

I put sd.stop(); in onPause(), onDestroy(), and onBackPressed() but when I leave the application and shake the device on my homescreen for example it still performs the specified action.

Use
sd.stop();
sensorManager.unregisterListener(sd);

in your onDestroy Override method

Solved for me though!
Thanks!

@timbremer I know I'm late to the party but this may help others. I had the same issue and solved it by moving the start process of ShakeDetector to onResume instead of onCreate.

override fun onResume() {
        shakeDetector.start(sensorManager)

        super.onResume()
    }

And I stop the ShakeDetector and unregister listeners of SensorManager when the activity gets paused.

override fun onPause() {
        if (BuildConfig.DEBUG) {
            shakeDetector.stop()
            sensorManager.unregisterListener(shakeDetector)
        }

        super.onPause()
    }
