I'm sure this has been asked here many times but, are there any examples on the Internet about gyroscope Android development. Because the Gyroscope intrigues me and I think it could make for a pretty good thing to work with. I am just guessing the Samsung Galaxy S has a gyroscope, right? I hope so. Again though, my main need is for a tutorial, maybe even a good android programming tutorial/book (not just gyroscope related). I learned Java just for the purpose of Android development. I already knew C and a little OBJ-C so learning Java took a few weeks. So, one more time does anyone know any really good tutorials/books for Android development (I found a few tutorials on you-tube but their quality were so terrible I couldn't follow along) and maybe a good gyroscope tutorial for Android and a list of Android phones that have gyroscope built-in.
Answer
Yes, all this has been asked before, and it's hard now to decide what a duplicate of is, because of so many questions here. Please, use the search box before posting questions, and ask one single question per post. Thanks.
