Modules.CoreMotion.StepCounter

> Deprecated since 5.2.0: This API was deprecated by Apple in iOS 7 and is only available for backward compatibility with older versions of this module. It will be removed in the next release. Please use Modules.CoreMotion.Pedometer API instead, which provides the same functionality including new properties like floorCount and distance.

Allows Titanium client applications to access CoreMotion's (deprecated) StepCounter APIs.

Extends: Titanium.Proxy · Since: 5.2.0 · Platforms: iphone, ipad

Methods #

isStepCountingAvailable #

Returns a Boolean indicating whether step-counting support is available on the current device.

Returns: Boolean

queryStepCount #

Gathers and returns historical step count data for the specified time period.

The system stores only the last seven days worth of step data at most.
If there are no samples for the specified range of time, a value of 0 is passed to the callback.

Parameters:
NameTypeSummaryOptional
argsCoreMotionQueryStepCountArgsAn object of argumentsNo
callbackCallback<CoreMotionStepCountingQueryDataWithSuccess>The callback to execute with the results.No

startStepCountingUpdates #

Starts the delivery of current step-counting data to your app.

This method initiates tracking of the user's steps and calls the callback
periodically to deliver the results. When you call this method, the step counter
resets the current step count value to 0 and begins counting. Each time the step
counter records the number of steps in the stepCounts parameter, it executes the
specified callback. For example, if stepCounts is 100, it would send updates
at 100 steps, 200 steps, 300 steps, and so on. The number of steps reported to your
handler is always the total number of steps since you called this method.

The callback is executed on a best effort basis each time the step count
threshold is exceeded. If your app is suspended when the threshold is exceeded,
the callback is not executed. When your app resumes, the callback is not executed
until the threshold is exceeded again.

To stop the delivery of step-counting updates, call the
Modules.CoreMotion.StepCounter.stopStepCountingUpdates method.

Parameters:
NameTypeSummaryOptional
argsCoreMotionStartStepCountingArgsAn object of argumentsNo
callbackCallback<CoreMotionStepCountingDataWithSuccess>The callback to execute with the results.No

stopStepCountingUpdates #

Stops the delivery of step-counting updates to your app.

Call this method to stop the delivery of updates that you started by calling
the Modules.CoreMotion.startStepCountingUpdates method. This method does not
stop queries started using the Modules.CoreMotion.StepCounter.queryStepCount method.
