Hello, I have double checked the code that returns the sensor list and it seems correct. You definitely don't want to use SensorManager.SENSOR_ACCELEROMETER, which is a deprecated constant for the 1.0 API.
The correct way to retrieve a sensor is to do the following: Sensor s = getDefaultSensor( Sensor.TYPE_ACCELEROMETER ); you can also do: Sensor s = getSensorList( Sensor.TYPE_ACCELEROMETER ).get(0); Using TYPE_ALL is incorrect because it's not guaranteed that the accelerometer will be the first sensor and your application may break in a future release or on a different phone. I hope this helps. mathias On Dec 8, 3:16 am, Heiko <[email protected]> wrote: > Problem solved. In case others experience the same problems: > > The constants for the sensors seem to be wrong.
