Sensor

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

package com.GoogleProject.AccReader;

public class AccReader extends Activity implements SensorListener{

        private float y;

        //private TextView tv = new TextView(this);     
 
        private SensorManager mSensMgr;
 
        //private SensorListener mSensLsnr;
 
        public TextView updateTV(TextView tv) {
 
                tv.setText("X: " + x + " ,Y :" + y+ " ,Z: " + z);
 
                return tv;              
 
        }
 
        /** Called when the activity is first created. */
 
    @Override
 
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
 
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
 
        TextView tv = new TextView(this);
 
        mSensMgr = (SensorManager) getSystemService(SENSOR_SERVICE);
 
        mSensMgr.registerListener(this, SensorManager.SENSOR_ACCELEROMETER, SensorManager.SENSOR_DELAY_FASTEST);
 
        setContentView(updateTV(tv));
 
    }
 
        public void onAccuracyChanged(int sensor, int accuracy) {
 
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub
 
        }
 
        public void onSensorChanged(int sensor, float[] values) {
 
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub
 
                if (sensor == SensorManager.SENSOR_ACCELEROMETER) {
 
                        x = values[0];
 
                        y = values[1];
 
                        z = values[2];
 
                }else {
 
                        x = -1;
 
                        y = -1;
 
                        z = -1;
 
                }
 
                //this.setContentView(updateTV(tv));
 
        }
 
}
 
Parsed in 0.014 seconds,  using GeSHi 1.0.8.4

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.

Here's my code for a sample...

@Override
 
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
 
    {
 
        // Be sure to call the super class.
 
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
 
        mSensorManager = (SensorManager) getSystemService(SENSOR_SERVICE);
 
        mGraphView = new GraphView(this);
 
        //Set to full screen
 
        this.requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
 
        getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN, WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN);
 
        setContentView(mGraphView);
 
    }
 
    @Override
 
    protected void onResume()
 
    {
 
        super.onResume();
 
        mSensorManager.registerListener(        mGraphView,
 
                                                                SensorManager.SENSOR_STATUS_ACCURACY_HIGH |
 
                                                                SensorManager.SENSOR_ACCELEROMETER,
 
                                                                SensorManager.SENSOR_DELAY_FASTEST);
 
    }
 
Parsed in 0.011 seconds,  using GeSHi 1.0.8.4

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:

        mSensorManager.registerListener(        mGraphView,
 
                                                                SensorManager.SENSOR_STATUS_ACCURACY_HIGH |
 
                                                                SensorManager.SENSOR_ACCELEROMETER,
 
                                                                SensorManager.SENSOR_DELAY_FASTEST);
 
Parsed in 0.010 seconds,  using GeSHi 1.0.8.4

it used to be...

        mSensorManager.registerListener(        mGraphView,
 
                                                                SensorManager.SENSOR_DELAY_GAME |
 
                                                                SensorManager.SENSOR_ACCELEROMETER,
 
                                                                SensorManager.SENSOR_DELAY_GAME);
 
Parsed in 0.010 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???
