Hi guys, I am trying to get some good consistent data on one's
bearings(direction you are facing) either using the LocationListener class
or the SensorEventListener class. So far I've hit a road block because with
the LocationListener I dont get consistent data; bearing is almost always
0. With the sensor listener, the azimuth data is basically 180 ALL THE
TIME. I've been searching and still am for solutions to this but no luck so
far. The end goal is to draw a compass on a map in which you can pan around
and still get back to your location and see the compass; The compass is
marking your location.
Are there any other options out there or is there a work around for this
that would be better?
Thanks in advance and here are snippets of some standard code i am using;
I'm just displaying the data obtained.
Code for LocationListener:
....
manager = (LocationManager) this.getSystemService( Context.LOCATION_SERVICE );
listener = new LocationListener(){
@Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
txt.setText( "Accuracy : " + location.getAccuracy() + "\n" +
"Altitude : " + location.getAltitude() + "\n" +
"Bearing : " + location.getBearing() + "\n" +
"Latitude : " + location.getLatitude() + "\n" +
"Longitude : " + location.getLongitude() + "\n" +
"Provider : " + location.getProvider() + "\n" +
"Speed : " + location.getSpeed() + "\n" +
"Time : " + location.getTime() );
}
....
Code for SensorEventListener:
....
manager = (SensorManager) getSystemService(Context.SENSOR_SERVICE);
orientation = manager.getDefaultSensor(Sensor.TYPE_ORIENTATION);
final TextView txt = (TextView) this.findViewById(R.id.txt);
listener = new SensorEventListener(){
@Override
public void onAccuracyChanged(Sensor arg0, int arg1)
{
}
@Override
public void onSensorChanged(SensorEvent event)
{
txt.setText( "Azimuth : " + event.values[0] + "\n" +
"Pitch : " + event.values[1] + "\n" +
"Roll : " + event.values[2] + "\n" +
"Accuracy : " + event.accuracy );
}
};
....
