Method Detail

setRange

void setRange(Accelerometer.Range range)

Common interface for setting the measuring range of an accelerometer.

Parameters:

range - The maximum acceleration, positive or negative, that the accelerometer will measure. Not all accelerometers support all ranges.

getX

double getX()

Common interface for getting the x axis acceleration.

Returns:

The acceleration along the x axis in g-forces

getY

double getY()

Common interface for getting the y axis acceleration.

Returns:

The acceleration along the y axis in g-forces

getZ

double getZ()

Common interface for getting the z axis acceleration.

Returns:

The acceleration along the z axis in g-forces
