Delay in android step counter - android

I am developing an android step counter that starts counting when i press a button and stops when i press the button again. The problem is that the counter always misses the first few steps i am using the step counter sensor introduced in android kitkat 4.4. I also tried the step detector sensor but had the same results.
I tried changing the delay when registering the sensor to fastest, game, normal, and I even tried to set the delay to 0 but nothing worked
Is there a way i can fix this?
this is a simple app that shows my problem

Edited: Added code snippets

I realized that using the predefined stepCounter sensor for small number of steps, like what i wanted, isn't the best option and implementing a counter using accelerometer would be a lot better; however it won't be recommended for building fitness apps or any app that require constant step counting for a long time because the delay in the stepcounting sensor is to neglect the false positives.
so this is my implementation of the stepcounter using accelerometer

Adjusting the threshold sets the sensitivity of the sensor :)

All SeekBar + onProgressChanged + MediaPlayer + MeidaPlayer.getDuration() + Android OS Bugs do not work with me I have "The Ultimate Solution"

I have tried all the solutions on StackOverflow and none solved my issue, I'm looking for the ultimate solution, for the problem, I can solve all these problems with one working code? and 1 software.
Also, I added how to load lyrics using volley, and the PHP backend code.
The Ultimate Solution is: reencode your video or audio with an encoder that put seek points of the video or audio in the start index of the file and I found one good free software that solves this problem, which is "Miro Video Converter"
Note: mp3 encoding should be 128kb or more before using Miro Video
Encoder
and the Ultimate code that Will Work for Sure with this Excellent Encoding for audio is (video is the same solution but you change the code to what your video player code is I'm making a songs player with lyrics fragment):

setContentView(R.layout.main_activity);
mTextViewHeart = new TextView(this);
mTextViewHeart.setLayoutParams(new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));

The sensor functionality seems fine. The text boxes are not being displayed on screen, instead I just receive a blank screen. How to add mTextViewHeart to the screen programmatically ? Or is required that I add it via main_activity.xml ?

Maybe should configure all UI via XML ?

Adding an edittext field also does not display :
<EditText
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_marginTop="121dp"
android:ems="10"
android:text="test"
/>
Could the issue be something fundamental ?
This screen layout displays :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/linearLayout1"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"

<Button

<TextView

How do Get the specific values of Light Sensor

I have just started learning android. I have develop a program named Android Light Sensor that measure the Intensity of Light. Here is my code:
package com.AndroidLightSensor;
import com.example.andriodlightsensor.R;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Context;
import android.hardware.Sensor;
import android.hardware.SensorEvent;
import android.hardware.SensorEventListener;
import android.hardware.SensorManager;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.ProgressBar;
import android.widget.TextView;
import android.widget.Toast;
public class AndriodLightSensorActivity extends Activity {
ProgressBar lightMeter;
TextView textMax, textReading;
float counter;
Button read;
TextView display;
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
counter = 0;
read = (Button) findViewById(R.id.bStart);
display = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.tvDisplay);
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
lightMeter = (ProgressBar)findViewById(R.id.lightmeter);
textMax = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.max);
textReading = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.reading);
SensorManager sensorManager
= (SensorManager)getSystemService(Context.SENSOR_SERVICE);
Sensor lightSensor
= sensorManager.getDefaultSensor(Sensor.TYPE_LIGHT);
if (lightSensor == null){
Toast.makeText(AndriodLightSensorActivity.this,
"No Light Sensor! quit-",
Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}else{
float max = lightSensor.getMaximumRange();
lightMeter.setMax((int)max);
textMax.setText("Max Reading(Lux): " + String.valueOf(max));
sensorManager.registerListener(lightSensorEventListener,
lightSensor,
SensorManager.SENSOR_DELAY_NORMAL);
}
}
SensorEventListener lightSensorEventListener
= new SensorEventListener(){
#Override
public void onAccuracyChanged(Sensor sensor, int accuracy) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
#Override
public void onSensorChanged(SensorEvent event) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
if(event.sensor.getType()==Sensor.TYPE_LIGHT){
final float currentReading = event.values[0];
lightMeter.setProgress((int)currentReading);
textReading.setText("Current Reading(Lux): " + String.valueOf(currentReading));
read.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
display.setText("" + String.valueOf(currentReading));
}
});
}
}
};
}
Also The xml is:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
>
<TextView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="#+id/tvDisplay"
/>
<ProgressBar
android:id="#+id/lightmeter"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:padding="80dp"
style="?android:attr/progressBarStyleHorizontal"
android:max="100"
android:progress="0"
/>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/max"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
/>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/reading"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
/>
<Button
android:layout_width="250dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Start"
android:layout_y="249dp"
android:textSize="30dp"
android:onClick="onButtonDown"
android:id="#+id/bStart"
></Button>
</LinearLayout>
I want to get the current value whenever I press the button; i:e the value should not keep changing (Like in Stop Watch, but the updated should replace the previous one). In Eclipse, It shows no error, but when I run on my device is says" Unfortunately, Android Light Sensor has stopped."
Please help!!
There are an error that is obvious.
If findViewById is used before setContentView(R.layout.main); the values returned are null.
When you try to use them you get an error.
Put this two lines after setContentView(R.layout.main);
read = (Button) findViewById(R.id.bStart);
display = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.tvDisplay);

Android - TextView is not updated. What goes wrong?

I am trying to make a pedometer.
So as can be seen, once the acceleration of one particular direction exceeds 1, the counter increments by 1. Then I wanna display the count number in the textView.
However, the textView is always displayed as "TextView" instead of the desired number.
Any idea? Thanks!

In Here :
textView.setText(stepCounts); //<<<
you are passing Integer Value to TextView.setText method that's why you are getting Resources$NotFoundException . show Integer value in TextView as:
textView.setText(String.valueOf(stepCounts));
Or simpler just use ""+number in setText() method.

findViewById causing crash. Why?

I am trying to implement an activity which shows a camera preview and contains two buttons. Getting the camera preview is no problem but when I try findViewById for the button objects the app will crash. Not sure why that's happening.

Edit**
Oh wow. I'm retarded. I just figured it out. I was using Button instead of ImageButton. SMH Sorry, guys. lol
Try changing TagBttn = (Button) findViewById(R.id.tag); to TagBttn = (ImageButton) findViewById(R.id.tag);
may be you are trying to find id is not in mainscreen.xml
here tag is an ImageButton no simole Button
try this
TagBttn = (ImageButton) findViewById(R.id.tag);
Your tag item is an ImageButton and you are casting it to a Button. Change it. ImageButton and Button are very different classes.
No matter how confusing it may sound, it turns out that ImageButton is not a subclass of Button. So you'd want to replace your code with:
final ImageButton TagBttn;
final ImageButton ParkBttn;
and then use:
TagBttn = (ImageButton) findViewById(R.id.tag);
ParkBttn = (ImageButton) findViewById(R.id.park);
