Cordova Android Sensor Listeners Plugin

This plugin gives easy access to every available Android's sensors.

Install

cordova plugin add https://github.com/QuentinRoy/cordova-plugin-android-sensor-listeners.git

API: sensors

• sensors : object
  • .addSensorListener(sensorType, samplingPeriod, listener, [callback]) ⇒ undefined
  • .removeSensorListener(sensorType, samplingPeriod, listener, [callback]) ⇒ undefined

sensors.addSensorListener(sensorType, samplingPeriod, listener, [callback]) ⇒ undefined

Add a sensor listener.

Kind: static method of sensors

Param	Type	Description
sensorType	string	The sensor type's constant name (as defined by Android's Sensor, but without the prefix "TYPE_").
samplingPeriod	string	The sampling period's constant name (as accepted by SensorManager#registerListener, but without the prefix "SENSOR_DELAY_").
listener	sensorEventListener	The listener to register.
[callback]	errorFirstCallback	A node-style callback to be called upon success or failure of the operation.

Example

function listener(event) {
  console.log("device's rotation is " + event.values.join(","));
}
 
sensors.addSensorListener("ROTATION_VECTOR", "GAME", listener, function(error) {
  if (error) console.error("Could not listen to sensor");
});

sensors.removeSensorListener(sensorType, samplingPeriod, listener, [callback]) ⇒ undefined

Remove a sensor listener.

Kind: static method of sensors

Param	Type	Description
sensorType	string	The type of the sensor as registered when the listener was added (see addSensorListener).
samplingPeriod	string	The sampling period as registered when the listener was added (see addSensorListener).
listener	sensorEventListener	The listener to remove.
[callback]	errorFirstCallback	A node-style callback to be called upon success or failure of the operation.

Example

sensors.removeSensorListener("ROTATION_VECTOR", "GAME", listener, function(error) {
  if (error) console.error("Could not stop listening to sensor");
});

SensorEvent : Object

Event emitted from sensors.

Kind: global typedef
Properties

Name	Type	Description
sensor	string	The type of sensor that is listened to.
sampling	string	The sampling period the sensor is listened to by the receiving event listener.
timeStamp	int	The time the event was emitted.
values	Array.<float>	The sensor values.

errorFirstCallback : function

This callback is used to get responses from async calls. It complies with nodeJS callback style.

Kind: global typedef

Param	Type	Description
[err]	*	the error or undefined if everything went fine
data	*	the response or the called function

sensorEventListener : function

This listener is used to receive events from sensors.

Kind: global typedef

Param	Type	Description
evt	SensorEvent	the event emitted by one of the sensor
