Sensors emulator + Accelerometer tester, please help!

Hi,
I downloaded and managed to make the sensor simulator works on the Android AVD simulator. I also used a simple accelerometer test code from the internet:

I was thinking if I run the sensor simulator first, then run the AccelOrientExample, then move the Visual Phone, the data on the AccelOrientExample would also change, but it doesn't. Only the values on the sensor simulator changes obviously. Did I do something wrong or the AccelOrientExample just doesn't work. Sorry because I don't have any Android phone to test atm so is there anybody can help me to test the code above on a real device. I really appreciate it.

There is no accelerometer on the emulator so it is always going to return 0,0

thats why I said I used a sensors emulator and expect that the sensors emulator can change the value of the accelerometer values
here is the Sensors Emulator I'm using: http://www.botskool.com/geeks/how-use-s ... k-emulator
