Step Count
The step count represents the number of steps taken since the last system boot. On Android, any steps taken before installing the application will not be counted.
Pedestrian Status
The Pedestrian status is either walking or stopped. In the case that of an error,
the status will be unknown.
Availability of Sensors
Both Step Count and Pedestrian Status may not be available on some phones:
- It was found that some Samsung phones do not support Step Count or Pedestrian Status
- Older iPhones do not support Pedestrian Status in particular
In the case that the step sensor is not available, an error will be thrown. The application needs to handle this error.
