I need to count the steps a user does and the TIME for each step!
I tried to use a pedometer from Flutter but I am facing already some problems. I can't restart the pedometer and the counter seems to be very slow... I mean, I walk several steps, and only after some time the counter updates, I'd like it to be right away, for each step. Another thing is that I need to get the time it took for each step. Do you think I can do it with a pedometer?
Example: Step 1 - 1300 milliseconds, Step 2 - 1340 milliseconds, Step 3 - 1240 milliseconds, Step 4 - 1500 milliseconds, Step 5 - 1330 milliseconds, ...
Here's my code:
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'dart:async';
import 'package:pedometer/pedometer.dart';
void main() => runApp(new MyApp());
class MyApp extends StatefulWidget {
@override
_MyAppState createState() => new _MyAppState();
}
class _MyAppState extends State<MyApp> {
Pedometer _pedometer;
StreamSubscription<int> _subscription;
String _stepCountValue = '?';
@override
void initState() {
super.initState();
initPlatformState();
}
// Platform messages are asynchronous, so we initialize in an async method.
Future<void> initPlatformState() async {
startListening();
}
void onData(int stepCountValue) {
print(stepCountValue);
}
void startListening() {
setState(() {
_pedometer = new Pedometer();
_subscription = _pedometer.pedometerStream.listen(_onData,
onError: _onError, onDone: _onDone, cancelOnError: true);
});
}
// To restart the pedometer, but it doesn't work
void change(){
setState(() {
_pedometer = new Pedometer();
_stepCountValue = '?';
},);
}
void stopListening() {
_subscription.cancel();
}
void _onData(int newValue) async {
print('New step count value: $newValue');
setState(() => _stepCountValue = "$newValue");
}
void _onDone() => print("Finished pedometer tracking");
void _onError(error) => print("Flutter Pedometer Error: $error");
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return new MaterialApp(
home: new Scaffold(
appBar: new AppBar(
title: const Text('Pedometer example app'),
),
body: Center(
child: Column(
mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.center,
children: <Widget>[
new Icon(
Icons.directions_walk,
size: 90,
),
new Text(
'Steps taken:',
style: TextStyle(fontSize: 30),

new Text(
'$_stepCountValue',
style: TextStyle(fontSize: 100, color: Colors.blue),
),
RaisedButton(
child: Text('Restart'),
color: Theme.of(context).primaryColor,
textColor: Theme.of(context).textTheme.button.color,
onPressed: change,
),
],
))),
);
}
}
