A basic step tracking application developed using MIT App Inventor. This app utilizes the device's pedometer sensor to count steps and provides a simple interface to manage the tracking.
The Steps Recorder app allows users to monitor their physical activity by counting the steps taken. It offers control over the tracking process with start, stop, and reset functions.
- Step Counting: Tracks steps using the device's built-in pedometer sensor.
- Start/Stop Tracking: Control when step counting is active.
- Reset Counter: Clear the current step count.
- Display Steps: Shows the accumulated steps on the screen.
- Voice Feedback: Provides an audio message when step tracking begins.
To build and run this application, you will need:
- An account on the MIT App Inventor website (appinventor.mit.edu).
- A computer with internet access.
- An Android device with a built-in pedometer sensor or an emulator that supports sensor simulation, for testing the application.
Refer to the step-to-step_guide.md file for detailed instructions on how to recreate this application within the MIT App Inventor environment.
- Launch the application on your Android device.
- Tap the Start button to begin counting steps. You will hear a voice message.
- Keep the device with you as you walk; steps will be automatically recorded.
- The current step count will be displayed on the screen.
- Tap the Stop button to pause step counting.
- Tap the Reset button to clear the step count and reset it to zero.
This application was built using the MIT App Inventor platform (appinventor.mit.edu) and utilizes the device's pedometer and TextToSpeech capabilities.
