<p>
This sample demonstrates the use of the two step sensors (step detector and
counter) and sensor batching. It shows how to register a {@link
android.hardware.SensorEventListener} with and without batching and shows how
these events are received.
</p>
<p>
The Step Detector sensor fires an event when a step is detected, while the
step counter returns the total number of steps since a listener was first
registered for this sensor. Both sensors only count steps while a listener is
registered.
</p>
<p>
This sample only covers the basic case, where a listener is only registered
while the app is running. Likewise, batched sensors can be used in the
background (when the CPU is suspended), which requires manually flushing the
sensor event queue before it overflows, which is not covered in this sample.
