Is there an easy way to detect jitter movements on Windows Phone 8?

Question

I need to detect jitter motion on a Windows Phone 8 device to trigger a specific action. How can i do this?

I found some references to the ShakeGesture.dll library made by Microsoft for WinPhone7, but the only place it was available (AppHub) was replaced by the Dev Center website ...

Thank you for your help!

Answer 1

This is strange. AppHub for DevCenter seems to have renamed download slots.

I uploaded the library to my domain until these links are fixed @ http://JustinAngel.net/Storage/ShakeGestures.zip

Here is an example of using a gesture library in verses:

You can add a link to the ShakeGestures.dll assembly to get started. If you use the SDK for Windows Phone 8, I believe that this library is included - you just need to add a link.

UPDATE:

You can download it from this link: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=219094

I found that here . If you scroll down the page to “Locations and Sensors” about 2/3 of the way down, a link appears to download the gesture library, as well as an example.

UPDATE 2:

Hm. It seems that the download link was a sample project. The ShakeGestures.dll seems to not either. I don't have VS2012 on my computer here at work, but if you do, you can open an example solution and see if it references this DLL somehow, and maybe see where it points to? Looks like he should use it ... I just can't open it in VS2010.

Answer 3

• Download ShakeGestureLibraryCS from the Windows Phone Developer Samples: http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/wpapps/Shake-Gesture-Library-04c82d5f

• Download the C # project and create (for release) to create "ShakeGestures.dll"

• Add a link to your WindowsPhone project.
