The actual Galaxy Tab does include the necessary accelerometer and magnetic field sensors that you can use to obtain the three axis orientation of the device. As it happens the hardware does also include a gyroscope, but because the device was launched as Android 2.2 it doesn't report the gyro values in a way that lets you use the 2.3 APIs.
Ok, thanks. What about the gyroscope, is it possible to use it with Android 2.2? – Syl Jan 11 at 7:23 I can't edit my comment to reflect your edit.
I installed Samsung Galaxy Tab simulator, but it only sets hw_accelerometer and hw_gyroscope, should I also add the setting to support magnetic field aswell? – Syl Jan 13 at 13:49 Yes, add the magnetic field support as well. – Reto Meier Jan 13 at 14:32.
Well... I tried on a Galaxy Tab 2.2 (and not the emulator), and the gyroscope works!
I'm trying to get the orientation of a Galaxy Tab by reading the informations from various sensors. The emulator has accelerometer and gyroscope enabled in config. Ini, but it uses API 8 (Android 2.2).
When I list the available sensors, I only get the accelerometer, no gyroscope or compass. The only solution I can think of is to switch the emulator to API 9 (2.3). Is this the only solution?
How can NOVA from Gameloft use the gyroscope?
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
