Shake Detector library for Android (ShakeDetector)

This library provides a easy way to detect a shake movement using the build-in accelerometer and fire a callback on the UI thread every times it happens.

Usage

Shake Detector library is pushed to Maven Central as an AAR, so you just need to add the following dependency to your build.gradle

dependencies {
    implementation 'com.github.tbouron.shakedetector:library:1.0.0@aar'
}

The API is designed to follow closely an activity or fragment lifecycle. Here is an example of how to use it within an activity

public class myActivity extends Activity {
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.my_activity);

        ShakeDetector.create(this, new OnShakeListener() {
            @Override
            public void OnShake() {
                Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Device shaken!", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            }
        });
    }

    @Override
    protected void onResume() {
        super.onResume();
        ShakeDetector.start();
    }

    @Override
    protected void onStop() {
        super.onStop();
        ShakeDetector.stop();
    }

    @Override
    protected void onDestroy() {
        super.onDestroy();
        ShakeDetector.destroy();
    }
}

You can also change the default configuration by using the following method:

ShakeDetector.updateConfiguration(float sensibility, int numberOfShake);
