Acelerometro

This class represents a Sensor event and holds informations such as the sensor's type, the timestamp, accuracy and of course the sensor's data. Definition of the coordinate system used by the SensorEvent API. The coordinate-system is defined relative to the screen of the phone in its default orientation. The axes are not swapped when the device's screen orientation changes. The X axis ishorizontal and points to the right, the Y axis is vertical and points up and the Z axis points towards the outside of the front face of the screen. In this system, coordinates behind the screen have negative Z values.

Note: This coordinate system is different from the one used in the Android 2D APIs where the origin is in the top-left corner.

Sensor.TYPE_ACCELEROMETER: All values are in SI units (m/s^2) values[0]: Acceleration minus Gx on the x-axis values[1]: Acceleration minus Gy on the y-axis values[2]: Acceleration minus Gz on the z-axis A sensor of this type measures the acceleration applied to the device (Ad). Conceptually, it does so by measuring forces applied to the sensor itself (Fs) using therelation: Ad = - ∑Fs / mass In particular, the force of gravity is always influencing the measured acceleration: Ad = -g - ∑F / mass For this reason, when the device is sitting on a table (and obviously not accelerating), the accelerometer reads a magnitude of g = 9.81 m/s^2 Similarly, when the device is in free-fall and therefore dangerously accelerating towards to ground at 9.81 m/s^2, itsaccelerometer reads a magnitude of 0 m/s^2. It should be apparent that in order to measure the real acceleration of the device, the contribution of the force of gravity must be eliminated. This can be achieved by applying a high-pass filter. Conversely, a low-pass filter can be used to isolate the force of gravity.
public void onSensorChanged(SensorEvent event) { // alpha is calculated as t / (t + dT) //with t, the low-pass filter's time-constant // and dT, the event delivery rate final float alpha = 0.8;

gravity[0] = alpha * gravity[0] + (1 - alpha) * event.values[0]; gravity[1] = alpha * gravity[1] + (1 - alpha) * event.values[1]; gravity[2] = alpha * gravity[2] + (1 - alpha) * event.values[2]; linear_acceleration[0] = event.values[0] - gravity[0]; linear_acceleration[1] = event.values[1] -...
