Unless of course one has a sensor simulator :-) http://code.google.com/p/openintents/wiki/SensorSimulator (I should mention that we did not have time yet to upgrade it to SDK 1.5, but some people already got this to work in the 1.5 emulator). I'd say simulating the sensors in this way can be

Actually, the sensor code I had written with the SensorSimulator ( http://code.google.com/p/openintents/wiki/SensorSimulator ) before any Android hardware was available publicly, worked perfectly on the G1 when it came out - apart from the known issues with the wrong orientation sensor values

Firstly, openIntents sensor simulator is a very good tool for compass applications. I have used it without any breakage.. Further,, the compass bug in 1.5 r1 is FIXED in SDK 1.5 r2. Go ahead, there's no breakage now. Cheers. Peli wrote: Unless of course one has a sensor simulator

I am going to strongly, strongly recommend that people test such code on a real device. I don't know what you were doing, but every case I know of using sensors required a fair amount of tuning on the device to achieve the right feel. For example, the auto-rotation code went through many many

There is a considerable amount of development that can be done, even without actual sensor hardward. Having to comment out all sensor related code to get graphics, keystrokes and all the other minutia working is not productive. The emulator really needs to get fixed. Rud On Jun 25, 8:32 pm,

I just tried to run a Compass example in r2 and it hung on getting the sensor manager. I don't think the bug is fixed and isn't just a compass bug. But if you have any suggestions I am open to trying them. @L!TH!UM - I also am a long time embedded developer. Yes, you have to get onto the real

Is there any update on this? I need to build a compuss application but the API Demo doesn't work in the emulator. You will need actual hardware to test sensor-related applications. Partly, this is due to the emulator bug. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com Android App

But also, there is no way you are going to be able to implement a working app like this without doing it on real hardware. It would be kind-of like trying to implement a touch user interface without a touch screen. :) On Thu, Jun 25, 2009 at 10:05 AM, Mark Murphymmur...@commonsware.com wrote:
