Is there any documentation around Android 4.4 KitKat's (well specifically Nexus 5 for now) step detector and counter APIs? I tried to search a lot but did not find anything.

I am planning to try my hands on these new concepts and want to use the API but there's nothing around it on the Internet.

I found an example for you, hope it helps in someway, the sensor explanation on the API page is pretty straight forward too..
