getSystemServices is undefined when called in a Fragment?

Use:

getActivity().getSystemService(name)

Just one more method call:

sensorManager = (SensorManager) getActivity().getSystemService(Context.SENSOR_SERVICE);  

Why that one extra method call?
the getSystemService() method that provides access to system services comes from Context. An Activity extends Context, a Fragment does not. Hence, you first need to get a reference to the Activity in which the Fragment is contained and then magically retrieve the system service you want.

On Kotlin use:

this.sensorManager = activity!!.getSystemService(Context.SENSOR_SERVICE) as SensorManager
