shake 3.0.0

A flutter package to detect phone shakes. Adjustable G-force and reset periods.

shake

A Flutter package to detect phone shakes with directional information.

Features

• Shake detection with directional information (X, Y, Z axes)
• Force measurement
• Noise filtering option
• Configurable shake count and timing parameters

Installation

Add this to your package's pubspec.yaml file:

dependencies:
  shake: ^3.0.0

Usage

Basic Usage

ShakeDetector detector = ShakeDetector.autoStart(
  onPhoneShake: (ShakeEvent event) {
    // Access detailed shake information
    print('Shake direction: ${event.direction}');
    print('Shake force: ${event.force}');
    print('Shake timestamp: ${event.timestamp}');
  }
);

OR

ShakeDetector detector = ShakeDetector.waitForStart(
  onPhoneShake: (ShakeEvent event) {
    // Handle the shake event
  }
);
    
detector.startListening();

Breaking Changes in v3.0.0

Version 3.0.0 introduced a breaking change where onPhoneShake now receives a ShakeEvent parameter with information about direction, force, and timestamp.

If you're upgrading from v2.x, you need to update your callback to accept the ShakeEvent parameter:

// Before (v2.x)
ShakeDetector detector = ShakeDetector.autoStart(
  onPhoneShake: () {
    print('Shake detected!');
  }
);

// After (v3.x)
ShakeDetector detector = ShakeDetector.autoStart(
  onPhoneShake: (ShakeEvent event) {
    print('Shake detected!');
    // Now you can also access event.direction, event.force, etc.
  }
);

Noise Filtering

ShakeDetector detector = ShakeDetector.autoStart(
  onPhoneShake: (ShakeEvent event) {
    // Handle shake
  },
  useFilter: true, // Enable noise filtering for more reliable detection
);

Custom Configuration

ShakeDetector detector = ShakeDetector.autoStart(
  onPhoneShake: (ShakeEvent event) {
    // Handle shake
  },
  // Configure sensitivity - lower value makes it more sensitive
  shakeThresholdGravity: 2.0,
  // Minimum time between shake detections (ms)
  shakeSlopTimeMS: 300, 
  // Reset shake count after this time (ms)
  shakeCountResetTime: 2000,
  // Number of shakes required before triggering
  minimumShakeCount: 2,
);

Directional Shake Information

The ShakeEvent provides the direction of the shake through the direction property:

ShakeDetector detector = ShakeDetector.autoStart(
  onPhoneShake: (ShakeEvent event) {
    switch (event.direction) {
      case ShakeDirection.x:
        print('Shaken horizontally (left/right)');
        break;
      case ShakeDirection.y:
        print('Shaken vertically (up/down)');
        break;
      case ShakeDirection.z:
        print('Shaken forward/backward');
        break;
      case ShakeDirection.undefined:
        print('Complex shake pattern');
        break;
    }
  }
);

Stopping Detection

To stop listening:

detector.stopListening();
