I think it is cool to have a Windows Phone application that the content can be updated by shaking the phone, so I wrote this Class in order to achieve that!!
Detecting Shaking on Windows Phone
This is how to implement it, the code is well commented and very easy to understand:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Net;
using System.Windows;
using System.Windows.Controls;
using System.Windows.Documents;
using System.Windows.Input;
using System.Windows.Media;
using System.Windows.Media.Animation;
using System.Windows.Shapes;
using Microsoft.Phone.Controls;
using Microsoft.Devices.Sensors;
namespace shakeDetection
{
public partial class MainPage : PhoneApplicationPage
{
//We instanciate the AccelerometerSensorWithShakeDetection class as a prperty in order to be available in all methods for the MainPage class
AccelerometerSensorWithShakeDetection _shakeSensor = new AccelerometerSensorWithShakeDetection();
public MainPage()
{
InitializeComponent();
//in the costructor of the MainPage class, we call the SetUpEvent method, and we pass the MainPage Class as context scope, and the event we want to call
//when the device is Shacked
_shakeSensor.SetUpEvent(this, ShakeDetected);
}
//created a custom event to call the method that contain the code to execute when the device is shaked
private void ShakeDetected(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
//use this method to call MethodToExecWhenTheDeviceIsShaked method in another thread, different from the accelerometer thread
_shakeSensor.DispatcherInvoke(MethodToExecWhenTheDeviceIsShaked);
}
private void MethodToExecWhenTheDeviceIsShaked()
{
myStoryboard.Begin();
//plase here the code you want to exec when the device is shaked
}
private void Rectangle_Tapped(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e)
{
myStoryboard.Begin();
}
}
}
