Android Accessing Accelerometer: Returns always 0 as Value
- by Rotesmofa
Hello there,
i would like to use the accelerometer in an Android Handset for my Application.
The data from the sensor will be saved together with a GPS Point, so the Value is only needed when the GPS Point is updated.
If i use the attached Code the values is always zero.
API Level 8
Permissions: Internet, Fine Location
Testing Device: Galaxy S(i9000), Nexus One
Any Suggestions? I am stuck at this point.
Best regards from Germany,
