Sensor¶

public class Sensor¶: Class representing a sensor. Mirror off the one in Android without the final keyword.

Fields¶

TYPE_ACCELEROMETER¶

public static final int TYPE_ACCELEROMETER¶: A constant describing an accelerometer sensor type.

TYPE_ALL¶

public static final int TYPE_ALL¶: A constant describing all sensor types.

TYPE_AMBIENT_TEMPERATURE¶

public static final int TYPE_AMBIENT_TEMPERATURE¶: A constant describing an ambient temperature sensor type.

TYPE_GYROSCOPE¶

public static final int TYPE_GYROSCOPE¶: A constant describing a gyroscope sensor type.

TYPE_LIGHT¶

public static final int TYPE_LIGHT¶: A constant describing a light sensor type.

TYPE_MAGNETIC_FIELD¶

public static final int TYPE_MAGNETIC_FIELD¶: A constant describing a magnetic field sensor type.

TYPE_PRESSURE¶

public static final int TYPE_PRESSURE¶: A constant describing a pressure sensor type.

TYPE_RELATIVE_HUMIDITY¶

public static final int TYPE_RELATIVE_HUMIDITY¶: A constant describing a relative humidity sensor type.

TYPE_SIGNIFICANT_MOTION¶

public static final int TYPE_SIGNIFICANT_MOTION¶: A constant describing a significant motion sensor.

Methods¶

getIdentifier¶

public int getIdentifier()¶

Returns: The identifier of this sensor instance.

getMaxDelay¶

public int getMaxDelay()¶

This value is defined only for continuous and on-change sensors. It is the delay between two sensor events corresponding to the lowest frequency that this sensor supports. When lower frequencies are requested through registerListener() the events will be generated at this frequency instead.

Returns: The max delay for this sensor in microseconds.

getMaximumRange¶

public float getMaximumRange()¶

Returns: The maximum range of the sensor in the sensor’s unit.

getMinDelay¶

public int getMinDelay()¶

Returns: The minimum delay allowed between two events in microsecond or zero if this sensor only returns a value when the data it’s measuring changes.

getName¶

public String getName()¶

Returns: The name string of the sensor.

getPower¶

public float getPower()¶

Returns: The power in mA used by this sensor while in use

getResolution¶

public float getResolution()¶

Returns: The resolution of the sensor in the sensor’s unit.

getStringType¶

public String getStringType()¶

Returns: The type of this sensor as a string.

getType¶

public int getType()¶

Returns: The generic type of this sensor.

getVendor¶

public String getVendor()¶

Returns: The vendor string of this sensor.

getVersion¶

public int getVersion()¶

Returns: The version of the sensor’s module.
