Windows Phone 8.1 Accelerometer detecting a shake

Question

I having problems finding documentation or examples regarding the proper way to use the Accelerometer to trigger a Shake event. Seems like it should be easy, but all the examples are 8.0 which apparently are using Microsoft.Devices.Sensors;

Apparently you are supposed to use using Windows.Devices.Sensors; which you would think are the same, but things like Start() and Stop methods no longer exist. I was trying to use a Microsoft AccelerometerHelper class from Microsoft and it also uses the older namespace. The Shaken event in the Accelerometer class is only triggered on the tablets and not phones according to:

MSDN : here

Windows Phone 8: The accelerometer sensor does not raise the Shaken event on the Windows Phone 8 platform. If you add an event handler for the Shaken event in your Windows Phone 8 app, no error is raised, but the code in the event handler won't run.

Answer 1

如果您无法将代码移植到WP 8.1运行时，最后的选择还是另一种选择是将项目切换到Windows Phone 8 Silverlight甚至是8.1 Silverlight，所有代码都可以正常运行，我之前使用过AccelerometerHelper类并且面对相同问题。
