SensorManager

Class Overview

A SensorManager lets you access the device's sensors. Get an instance of this class by calling getDefault(), this class can be instantiated only once. Then, you can get any sensor you want by calling the appropriate getter. Always make sure to disable sensors you don't need, especially when your application is paused. Failing to do so can drain the battery in just a few hours. Note that the system will not disable sensors automatically when the screen turns off.

 public final class AccelerometerScreen extends Screen implements SensorListener {
 
 	AccelerometerSensor accelerometer;
 	SensorManager manager;
 
 	protected void onCreate() {
 
 		manager = SensorManager.getDefault();
 
 		if (manager.isAccelerometerSupported()) {
 			accelerometer = manager.getAccelerometer();
 			accelerometer.setListener(this);
 		}
 	}
 
 	public void onSensorChanged(Sensor sensor, SensorData data) {
 
 		final AccelerometerData accData = (AccelerometerData) data;
 
 		// allows to update the UI
 		controller.runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
 			public void run() {
 				// DO SOME STUFF...
 			}
 		});
 	}
 }
 

Summary

[Expand] Inherited Methods

From class java.lang.Object boolean equals(Object obj) Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this one. final Class<?> getClass() Returns the runtime class of an object. int hashCode() Returns a hash code value for the object. final void notify() Wakes up a single thread that is waiting on this object's monitor. final void notifyAll() Wakes up all threads that are waiting on this object's monitor. String toString() Returns a string representation of the object. final void wait(long timeout, int nanos) Causes current thread to wait until another thread invokes the notify() method or the notifyAll() method for this object, or some other thread interrupts the current thread, or a certain amount of real time has elapsed. final void wait(long timeout) Causes current thread to wait until either another thread invokes the notify() method or the notifyAll() method for this object, or a specified amount of time has elapsed. final void wait() Causes current thread to wait until another thread invokes the notify() method or the notifyAll() method for this object.
