This class is the listener used to handle Trigger Sensors. Trigger Sensors are sensors that trigger an event and are automatically disabled. Sensor.TYPE_SIGNIFICANT_MOTION is one such example.

SensorManager lets you access the device's sensors. Get an instance of SensorManager by calling Context.getSystemService() with the argument Context.SENSOR_SERVICE.

Here's an example setup for a TriggerEventListener:

class TriggerListener extends TriggerEventListener {
    public void onTrigger(TriggerEvent event) {
         // Do Work.
    // As it is a one shot sensor, it will be canceled automatically.
    // SensorManager.requestTriggerSensor(this, mSigMotion); needs to
    // be called again, if needed.
    }
}
public class SensorActivity extends Activity {
    private final SensorManager mSensorManager;
    private final Sensor mSigMotion;
    private final TriggerEventListener mListener = new TriggerEventListener();
    public SensorActivity() {
        mSensorManager = (SensorManager)getSystemService(SENSOR_SERVICE);
        mSigMotion = mSensorManager.getDefaultSensor(Sensor.TYPE_SIGNIFICANT_MOTION);
    }
    protected void onResume() {
        super.onResume();
        mSensorManager.requestTriggerSensor(mListener, mSigMotion);
    }
    protected void onPause() {
        super.onPause();
        // Call disable to ensure that the trigger request has been canceled.
        mSensorManager.cancelTriggerSensor(mListener, mSigMotion);
    }
}
