Sensor

Postby k2thedevil » Sun Feb 08, 2009 3:17 am

Hi, I was trying to work out on how to deal with the sensor on the G1. I have a G1 that I am using to test. This is the code

Nothing happens when I run the app on G1.

All I get is
[font=Courier New]
X: 0.0 ,Y = 0.0 ,Z = 0.0
[/font]

And it remains that way no matter how hard I shake the phone.
Bug Out!

Here's my code for a sample...

Using java Syntax Highlighting
  1.  
  2. @Override
  3.  
  4.     protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
  5.  
  6.     {
  7.  
  8.         // Be sure to call the super class.
  9.  
  10.         super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
  11.  
  12.  
  13.  
  14.         mSensorManager = (SensorManager) getSystemService(SENSOR_SERVICE);
  15.  
  16.         mGraphView = new GraphView(this);
  17.  
  18.        
  19.  
  20.         //Set to full screen
  21.  
  22.         this.requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
  23.  
  24.         getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN, WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN);
  25.  
  26.        
  27.  
  28.         setContentView(mGraphView);
  29.  
  30.     }
  31.  
  32.  
  33.  
  34.    
  35.  
  36.     @Override
  37.  
  38.     protected void onResume()
  39.  
  40.     {
  41.  
  42.         super.onResume();
  43.  
  44.         mSensorManager.registerListener(        mGraphView,
  45.  
  46.                                                                 SensorManager.SENSOR_STATUS_ACCURACY_HIGH |

  52.     }

I've found that having only one SensorManager.xxxxxx in registerListener does not let it register correctly... strange :-/ that's why I put "SENSOR_STATUS_ACCURACY_HIGH"....

This is actually what i'm working on right now... I'm playing around with this line:

  1.  
  2.         mSensorManager.registerListener(        mGraphView,
  3.  
  4.                                                                 SensorManager.SENSOR_STATUS_ACCURACY_HIGH |
  5.  
  6.                                                                 SensorManager.SENSOR_ACCELEROMETER,
  7.  
  8.                                                                 SensorManager.SENSOR_DELAY_FASTEST);

it used to be...

  1.  
  2.         mSensorManager.registerListener(        mGraphView,
  3.  
  4.                                                                 SensorManager.SENSOR_DELAY_GAME |
  5.  
  6.                                                                 SensorManager.SENSOR_ACCELEROMETER,
  7.  
  8.                                                                 SensorManager.SENSOR_DELAY_GAME);
  9.  
  10.  
Parsed in 0.036 seconds, using GeSHi 1.0.8.4


but for some reason, it's not refreshing as much as I'd like... I don't like how DELAY_GAME is OK... but FASTEST is TOOOO fast... I wish we could set how fast it refreshes.

Also, I wish the sensor manager didn't slow down if the phone isn't moving steadily. I wrote "4EverFall"... I've found that when you move the phone left and right, the game's speed is much more steady than if you hold it still... is there any way to fix this that anyone know of???
Without God, I would not have ANY skills.
