Save sensor data to file in android

Question

I'm doing my project to record data from accelerometer and gyroscope sensor and save it into file in sdcard. But I have problem, when I start recording for more than 1 second, the result in file is only 1 data that consist of 1 x axis, 1 y axis, and 1 z axis. Ideally speaking, I should get more data in the file as it is being recorded

  public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
        Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    //return inflater.inflate(R.layout.get_data, container, false);

    //get path from sdcard
    sdcard = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getPath();

    rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.get_data, container,false);
    Button start = (Button) rootView.findViewById(R.id.buttonstart);
    Button stop = (Button) rootView.findViewById(R.id.buttonstop);

    //eksekusi saat klik button stop
    stop.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            rekam = false;
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub

            //sensorManager.unregisterListener(mySensorEventListener);
            //super.onStop();


        }
    });

    //eksekusi saat klik button start
    start.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            rekam = true;
            String nama = sdcard+"/datasensor.txt";
            namafile = new File(nama);



        }
    });
    return rootView;
public void onActivityCreated(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    super.onActivityCreated(savedInstanceState);
    parent = getActivity();
    sensorManager = (SensorManager) parent.getSystemService(Context.SENSOR_SERVICE);
    sensor = sensorManager.getSensorList(Sensor.TYPE_ACCELEROMETER).get(0);
    sensorgyroscope = sensorManager.getSensorList(Sensor.TYPE_GYROSCOPE).get(0);

    koordinatX = (TextView)rootView.findViewById(R.id.coordinatx);

    sensorManager=(SensorManager) parent.getSystemService(Context.SENSOR_SERVICE);
    //add listener for accelerometer
    sensorManager.registerListener(this,sensorManager.getDefaultSensor(Sensor.TYPE_ACCELEROMETER),SensorManager.SENSOR_DELAY_NORMAL);
    //add listener for gyroscope
    sensorManager.registerListener(this, sensorManager.getDefaultSensor(Sensor.TYPE_GYROSCOPE), SensorManager.SENSOR_DELAY_NORMAL); 
}

@Override
public void onAccuracyChanged(Sensor sensor, int accuracy) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub

}

@Override

    if(event.sensor.getType()==Sensor.TYPE_ACCELEROMETER)

        float x = event.values[0];

            }
            catch (IOException e)

Answer 1

Instead of buf.write(), try buf.append()

it will append the new sensor readings rather than over writing when you use buf.write()
