Step Counter in Android Studio doesn't count steps - android-studio

Question

I have a problem with an app I'm trying to develop in Android Studio. I'm trying to develop a step counter using the STEP_COUNTER sensor in a Fragment.I decided to show my results in a TextView ('mStepsSinceReboot'), but it keeps being empty. Do you have any idea on how to make it work?
An hypotesis is that I should use a Service, but online I only found implementations that don't require it.
Thanks in advance for your answer. This is the code of my Fragment.
public class StepFragment extends Fragment implements SensorEventListener {
private SensorManager mSensorManager;
private Sensor mStepCounter;
private boolean isSensorPresent;
private TextView mStepsSinceReboot;
public StepFragment() {
// Required empty public constructor
}
public static StepFragment newInstance(String param1, String param2) {
StepFragment fragment = new StepFragment();
Bundle args = new Bundle();
fragment.setArguments(args);
return fragment;
}
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
}
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
// Inflate the layout for this fragment
View v=inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_step, container, false);
mStepsSinceReboot=v.findViewById(R.id.stepssincereboot);
mSensorManager=(SensorManager) this.getActivity().getSystemService(getContext().SENSOR_SERVICE);
if (mSensorManager.getDefaultSensor(Sensor.TYPE_STEP_COUNTER)!=null){
mStepCounter=mSensorManager.getDefaultSensor(Sensor.TYPE_STEP_COUNTER);
isSensorPresent=true;
}
else{
isSensorPresent=false;
}
return v;
}
#Override
public void onSensorChanged(SensorEvent event) {
mStepsSinceReboot.setText(("Steps since reboot: "+String.valueOf(event.values[0])));
Log.d("Passi", String.valueOf(mStepsSinceReboot));
}
#Override
public void onAccuracyChanged(Sensor sensor, int accuracy) {
}
#Override
public void onResume(){
super.onResume();
if(isSensorPresent){
mSensorManager.registerListener(this,mStepCounter,SensorManager.SENSOR_DELAY_NORMAL);
}
}
#Override
public void onPause(){
super.onPause();
if(isSensorPresent){
mSensorManager.unregisterListener(this);
}
}
#Override
public void onDestroy(){
super.onDestroy();
mSensorManager=null;
mStepCounter=null;
}
}

Answer 1

you added the permission in the manifest file ?
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACTIVITY_RECOGNITION"/>
