pedometer 1.2.5

A Pedometer plugin for streaming step count updates, for iOS and Android.

pedometer

This plugin allows for continuous step counting using the built-in pedometer sensor API of iOS and Android devices.

The step count returned is the number of steps since the phone was last booted.

Permissions for Android

For Android 10 and above add the following permission to the Android manifest:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACTIVITY_RECOGNITION" />

Permissions for iOS

Users of this plug-in will have to manually open XCode and configure a few settings manually, mostly pertaining to privacy settings and permissions due to the application collecting the user's movement data.

Step 0:

Open the XCode project located at <your_project>/iOS/Runner.xcodeproj

Step 1: Set Capabilities

Step 2: Configure your plist

XCode Issue: Enabling @objc inference

Any errors are only visible when running through XCode, unfortunately.

To use this plugin, add pedometer as a dependency in your pubspec.yaml file.

Example Usage

Pedometer _pedometer;
StreamSubscription<int> _subscription;

...
void onData(int stepCountValue) {
    print(stepCountValue);
}

void startListening() {
    _pedometer = new Pedometer();
    _subscription = _pedometer.pedometerStream.listen(_onData,
        onError: _onError, onDone: _onDone, cancelOnError: true);
}

void stopListening() {
    _subscription.cancel();
}

void _onData(int stepCountValue) async {
    setState(() => _stepCountValue = "$stepCountValue");
}

void _onDone() => print("Finished pedometer tracking");

void _onError(error) => print("Flutter Pedometer Error: $error");
