Shake gesture recognition

Description

This sample uses gesture recognition to remove a Dynamic Map Service and reset the application to its initial default launch state. A device's accelerometer can be used to detect motion events in the x, y and z direction. An instance of the DeviceMotionEvent class is used to listen for devicemotion events. The DeviceMotionEvent can be used to determine when a significant change in the device's motion occurs. The devicemotion event type captures the rotation rate, acceleration of the device and the time interval since the last device motion event.

The acceleration data (user acceleration and gravity) for the x, y and z axis is stored and compared to previous devicemotion events every 150 milliseconds. If the change in acceleration data is greater than the user-defined setting, the application is reset to its default state.
