Specified by:

getXAccel in interface Accelerometer

Returns:

Acceleration e.g. 9810 mg (falling on earth) or ERROR.

getYAccel

public int getYAccel()

Acceleration along Y axis. Positive or negative values in mg. (g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s^2)

Specified by:

getYAccel in interface Accelerometer

Returns:

Acceleration e.g. 9810 mg (falling on earth) or ERROR.

true on success, false on error

getAllAccel

public boolean getAllAccel(int[] dst,
                           int off)

Reads all 3 acceleration values into the given array. Elements off+0, off+1, and off+2 are filled with X, Y, and Z axis.

Parameters:

dst - destination array.

off - offset

Returns:

true on success, false on error
