does the accelerometer work for the iphone/ipad simulator?
- by Mark
From what I can tell, my app should be firing accelerometer events while Im using the iPad simulator in XCode, but its not.
I have googled around and it somewhat seems that the accelerometer is not implemented in the simulator, is this correct? If so, why on earth would they have a "Hardware-Shake Gesture" menu option?
My code is as follows:
.h file:
@interface MyViewController : UIViewController <UIPickerViewDataSource, UIPickerViewDelegate, UIAccelerometerDelegate>{
UIAccelerometer *accelerometer;
//...other stuff
}
@property (nonatomic, retain) UIAccelerometer *accelerometer;
@end
then the .m file:
@implementation MyViewController
@synthesize accelerometer;
- (void)accelerometer:(UIAccelerometer *)accelerometer didAccelerate:(UIAcceleration *)acceleration {
NSLog(@"%@", [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@%f", @"X: ", acceleration.x]);
NSLog(@"%@", [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@%f", @"Y: ", acceleration.y]);
NSLog(@"%@", [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@%f", @"Z: ", acceleration.z]);
}
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
self.accelerometer = [UIAccelerometer sharedAccelerometer];
self.accelerometer.updateInterval = .1;
self.accelerometer.delegate = self;
}
@end
Does this look right?
