  • Method Details

    • 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
