I'm trying to display a list of available sensors but it's like there are not!
I was thinking that it was because of the emulator, but i tried it on the phone and the result is the same.
private SensorManager mSensorManager;
TextView mSensorsTot,mSensorAvailables;
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
// Get the texts fields of the layout and setup to invisible
mSensorsTot = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.sensoritot);
mSensorAvailables = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.sensoridisponibili);
// Get the SensorManager
mSensorManager= (SensorManager) getSystemService(SENSOR_SERVICE);
// List of Sensors Available
List<Sensor> msensorList = mSensorManager.getSensorList(SensorManager.SENSOR_ALL);
// Print how may Sensors are there
mSensorsTot.setText(msensorList.size()+" "+this.getString(R.string.sensors)+"!");
// Print each Sensor available using sSensList as the String to be printed
String sSensList = new String("");
Sensor tmp;
int x,i;
for (i=0;i<msensorList.size();i++){
tmp = msensorList.get(i);
sSensList = " "+sSensList+tmp.getName(); // Add the sensor name to the string of sensors available
}
// if there are sensors available show the list
if (i>0){
sSensList = getString(R.string.sensors)+":"+sSensList;
mSensorAvailables.setText(sSensList);
}
}
The constant SensorManager.SENSOR_ALL
is deprecated and doesn't seem to work anymore.
Query the sensor list with Sensor.TYPE_ALL
instead and it should work (my emulator returns a "Goldfish 3-axis Accelerometer").
