sensor

Does anyone know of a walk-through or any examples of any code to setup sensors in android.

I have the drivers available to me.

Also i have implemented the sensors library as instructed
in the Android-Reference along the sensors.h template.

I am still unable to get any response at the apps level.

How do i trace this issue? what might be the problem?

Thanks in advance

UPDATE:

Jorgesys's link below points to a great APP to test if the sensor drivers are functioning properly or not.

Not that i know they are not functioning, Any ideas of on where to dig??...
