Overview
This assignment will give you experience using SensorManager in
Android Studio and will help you understand its purpose. As you work
with SensorManager, continually ask yourself when it would be effective
to use in an application. Also be sure to reference the readings that
are linked in this week’s Resources section for further details and
assistance as you progress through this assignment.
Prompt
Open Android Studio before beginning your work. You must address the following rubric criteria:
- Develop an app that uses SensorManager. Select one
of the Android hardware sensors and develop a simple app that uses
SensorManager to read and set the value from this sensor. The app should
run in the Android Studio Emulator. You can choose to write the values
from your sensor to the console or to the screen. Remember, the purpose
of your app is only to accomplish the tasks that have been outlined and
it should not be complicated.
- Test the app for appropriate functionality. Once you have completed the initial app creation, do the following:
- Test your app using the Android Studio Emulator.
- Change the value of the selected sensor; does your app update correctly?
- Set breakpoints in the code to see where and when the values are being updated.
- Explain the purpose of SensorManager. Describe the
purpose of SensorManager by comparing your reading and your experience
during the creation and testing process. Identify 2–3 specific uses for
SensorManager and discuss the context in which these apply.
Guidelines for Submission
There will be two submissions for this assignment: 1) a ZIP file of
the completed Android Studio project folder for your fully functional,
error-free application; and 2) a Microsoft Word document with a minimum
250-word explanation of the purpose of SensorManager.
