Android AccelerometerPlay Sample

Sample demonstrating how to use an accelerometer sensor as input for a physics-based view.

Introduction

This sample demonstrates how to use an accelerometer [sensor][1] as input for a physics-based view. The input from the accelerometer is used to simulate a virtual surface, and a number of free-moving objects placed on top of it.

Any effects from the device's acceleration vector (including both gravity and temporary movement) will be translated to the on-screen particles.

AccelerometerPlayActivity

This is an example of using the accelerometer to integrate the device's acceleration to a position using the Verlet method. This is illustrated with a very simple particle system comprised of a few iron balls freely moving on an inclined wooden table. The inclination of the virtual table is controlled by the device's accelerometer. * @see SensorManager @see SensorEvent @see Sensor

Called when the activity is first created.
