Hello, I have a problem with working with the ORIENTATION values of the SensorManager. I would like to have some kind of 360°-value which directly shows me if the phone is in normal portrait (0°), landscape, portrait turned around (180°) or anything in between. So I could have, for example, an arrow that points to the floor (like gravity would do with a plummet) all the time, no matter how I tilt (sidewards) the phone. I thought this would be easy, but I'm pretty confused at the moment.
First of all, the X value of the orientation-array seems to correspondent with how I turn the phone, BUT: if it's completely uprightly standing, this value is about 60° ... why not 0° (or 90°, 180°, 270°), as I would expect? Second: The value resets if I turn the phone and Android automatically changes screen orientation. So both in Portrait and in Landscape mode it will be sth. like 60° when the phone is in a 0° angel in real world. I set "android:screenOrientation" to "landscape" but this doesn't help anything :/ I want the app NOT to change orientation when I turn the phone, but I want it to get a continuous orientation value when I tilt the phone. Any ideas how to achieve that? To complicate matters further, I have a Samsung Galaxy, so at the moment I'm unable to use the phone for debugging (no adb connection) because Samsung hasn't made a driver yet -.- So it's hard for me to try out things and I hope anyone has a really helpful answer ....
