    Study Notes

    Mobile Application Development - Sensors

    • Android devices have built-in sensors that measure motion, orientation, and environmental conditions.
    • Sensors are categorized by their function: motion, environmental, and position.
    • Motion sensors measure acceleration and rotational forces along three axes.
    • Environmental sensors measure parameters like temperature, pressure, light, and humidity.
    • Position sensors measure the physical position of a device.
    • Android's sensor framework provides access to sensors, both hardware-based and software-based.
    • Hardware-based sensors are physical components that directly measure environmental properties.
    • Software-based sensors emulate hardware sensors by processing data from them.
    • Examples of software-based sensors include linear acceleration and gravity sensors.
    • Android versions support various sensor types, with newer versions typically having more options available.

    Android Version and Supported Sensors

    • Android 1.5 (Cupcake) supports accelerometer and magnetic field sensors.
    • Android 1.6 (Donut) adds orientation and temperature sensors to the supported list.
    • Android 2.1 (Eclair) introduces proximity and light sensors.
    • Android 2.2 (Froyo) adds pressure sensor support.
    • Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) includes all sensors mentioned above.
    • Android 4 and later versions continue to support these sensors and potentially include newer ones.
