SensorEvent Class

Definition

This class represents a android.hardware.Sensor Sensor event and holds information such as the sensor's type, the time-stamp, accuracy and of course the sensor's SensorEvent#values data.

public class SensorEvent : Java.Lang.Object

Remarks

This class represents a android.hardware.Sensor Sensor event and holds information such as the sensor's type, the time-stamp, accuracy and of course the sensor's SensorEvent#values data.

<u>Definition of the coordinate system used by the SensorEvent API.</u>

The coordinate-system is defined relative to the screen of the phone in its default orientation. The axes are not swapped when the device's screen orientation changes.

The X axis is horizontal and points to the right, the Y axis is vertical and points up and the Z axis points towards the outside of the front face of the screen. In this system, coordinates behind the screen have negative Z values.

<b>Note:</b> This coordinate system is different from the one used in the Android 2D APIs where the origin is in the top-left corner.

Constructors

SensorEvent(IntPtr, JniHandleOwnership)

A constructor used when creating managed representations of JNI objects; called by the runtime.

Properties

Accuracy

The accuracy of this event.

Class

Returns the runtime class of this Object.

(Inherited from Object)
FirstEventAfterDiscontinuity

Set to true when this is the first sensor event after a discontinuity.

Handle

The handle to the underlying Android instance.

(Inherited from Object)
JniIdentityHashCode (Inherited from Object)
JniPeerMembers
PeerReference (Inherited from Object)
Sensor

The sensor that generated this event.

ThresholdClass

This API supports the Mono for Android infrastructure and is not intended to be used directly from your code.

ThresholdType

This API supports the Mono for Android infrastructure and is not intended to be used directly from your code.

Timestamp

The time in nanoseconds at which the event happened.

Values

The length and contents of the #values values array depends on which android.hardware.Sensor sensor type is being monitored (see also SensorEvent for a definition of the coordinate system used).

Methods

Clone()

Creates and returns a copy of this object.

(Inherited from Object)
Dispose() (Inherited from Object)
Dispose(Boolean) (Inherited from Object)
Equals(Object)

Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this one.

(Inherited from Object)
GetHashCode()

Returns a hash code value for the object.

(Inherited from Object)
