Motorola Droid X : Sensors On Phone
Jul 23, 2010Is it possible?

Is it possible?
A simple question: How do I register for multiple sensors? I just switched from registerListener(SensorListener listener, int sensors, int rate), which is deprecated, to registerListener(SensorEventListener listener, Sensor sensor, int rate). Previously, I could use " | " to indicate multiple sensors, but now " | " is undefined, so how?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm programming an Augmented Reality application. It's development it's in an advanced state but I can't place the icons on the screen so still as anothers programs does (Layar, in example). This is because of the continuous variations of the sensors. I've tried the three modes of the sensors (FAST, GAME, and NORMAL) but I only get them to move more or less fast. The shivering is the same at different speed.
Finally I thougth I could reach my goal with a digital filter, averaging historical values. But again the icons continues moving, specially the most far placed ones (in the z axis). Please, could some one help me with some clue?
Last night i have downloaded Dolphin to play Wii Games. As you can imagine, play with the mouse is not as comfortable to emulate Wiiremote.
My idea is basically:
Control WII emulator with Android Sensors (As accelerometer, gyroscope, inclinometer) like Wiimote does
It seems to be quite interesting, I think that may be connectable by wifi and bluetooth with receiver (pc).
We are supposed to make UI actions only from the main UI thread. But it is not clear to me if callbacks like LocationUpdateListener (and other callbacks from sensors) are already in the UI thread or they require special care to access the UI components.

I can not find any way to read sensor data by myself. Anybody knows anything about it? Is it possible to read data with more than 50Hz?

Can I assume the sensors on devices such as the G1 are fairly accurate or can I expect to run into problems such as the compass being 5-10 degress off etc?

CODE:...........
Code is working but here goes my problem: when I call it from main activity in this way:
CODE:........
Then i can see 10 times result of 'doing sth else!!!' and when loop is over i can see then result from activity. So sensor activity waits for some reason and then when main activity has nothing to do, sensors are doing their job.
of course I have well implemented: onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent intent)
I want to read sensord data directly, not using listeners, is it possible?
After porting ICS, derived sensors are not working.when i browse through SensorService code, i found that in ICS derived sensor data is computed only if accelerometer, magnetometer and gyro are present.I dont have gyro in my device. Is this the reason for failure?

Perhaps the power management features need some improvement - the ability to specify what components are needed during a partial_wake_lock so that power can be conserved as efficiently as possible.
BTW, there is a bug logged noting that onSensorChanged() continues to be called for the orientation sensor (during sleep) but the values are not being updated.
I can't seem to find this info on the droids temperature sensor (the one available in the SDK):
Does it indicate ambient temperature or is it the temperature of the phone or chip?
Also, does the pressure sensor indicate atmospheric pressure?
How to make the following phone's magnetic and orientation sensor working? Both of these sensors are not working on my phone (verified by many apps such as Z-deviceTest, AndroSensor and Android Sensor Box).
Various applications have shown that this phone has 5 sensors :
- yamaha530 Orientation Sensor : 0.25 mA by Aichi Steel
- yamaha530 3-axis Magnetic Field Sensor :0.25 mA by Aichi Steel
- bma222 3-axis Accelerometer : 0.13 mA by The Android Open Source Project
- tmd2771 Proximity Sensor : 0.13 mA by Capella
- tmd2771 Light Sensor : 0.13 mA by Capella

Perhaps there is new ROM or kernal that can handle the sensors better?
I am having a difficult time figuring out a way to read the sensor data from a home screen widget. I can successfully create a home screen widget that extends AppWidgetProvider. I can successfully create a stand-alone application that reads sensor data (extends Activity). What seems to be impossble (for me) is combining them into a home screen widget that reads sensor data. The classes that you have to use, like SensorManager, SensorListener all seem to require an Activity which the AppWidgetProdiver doesnt have. I have also tried keeping my sensor data reader in a separate class that extends Activity and then instantiating that class in my widget. Makes sense in my head but no data is ever read from the sensors.

The main points that I like to enjoy is: Droid beat out the phone that beat the iPhone, and the Droid got further in the brackets than any other Android OS phone Some of the progress is due to hardware, some due to following (over the Nexus'), but a lot due to the v2.01 (and now 2.1) version of the Android OS. Also, this poll is open ALL weekend - it does not close until April 5th, so we have tons of time...but then again, so does the Palm Pre. Let's have at 'em!

At the end of November I can renew my contract early and I'll get a new Android based phone. Are there any phones worthy of replacing the Motorola Droid? There's no denying that the Droid had/has the biggest community and developer base but what is the next Droid phone that will be the biggest hit with the community and developers? That's the phone I want to get.

I would love a BlackBerry-like interface where the phone opens and you can just start typing a contact name (on dialpad) (or any contact data to select and narrow a contact search? Instead you have to perform an actual search or scroll - what a pain! If nothing exists - who's willing to build it?

I love using my DROID in the OEM Car Dock. I have it setup in landscape mode, but I'm seriously thinking of reconsidering this. More-or-less, because I have to. Every app seems to work great in landscape mode all, except for one, that is. The phone app. What's up with that?Go ahead, try it! Open up the phone app (displaying the dial pad), and turn the DROID on it's side nu thin'! Now open the hardware keyboard. Isn't that a hoot? I would love to know how you're supposed to dial a phone when there isn't any dial pad. In my honest opinion, this is one of the biggest over-sights with the DROID and I have yet to hear anyone mention this issue on this forum, or any other forums.
