POHow can I access the accelerometer properly in Android 1.5?

copied!<p>I have seen a few code examples of 1.0 / 1.1 but since a lot of that is deprecated now I was hoping to find a nice 1.5+ example. I have some code here that I wrote but it doesn't really work properly. Any help would be great, thanks!</p> <pre><code>public class collectAccel extends Activity implements SensorEventListener, OnClickListener{ private SensorManager sensorMgr; private TextView xLabel, yLabel, zLabel; private Button StartBtn; private List<Sensor> sensorList; private float x, y, z; private long lastUpdate = -1; // deltas for calibration private float cx, cy, cz; /** Called when the activity is first created. */ @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.main); xLabel = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.x_label); yLabel = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.y_label); zLabel = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.z_label); StartBtn = (Button) findViewById(R.id.Button1); StartBtn.setOnClickListener(this); } @Override public void onClick(View arg0) { if (xLabel.getVisibility() != 1) xLabel.setVisibility(1); if (yLabel.getVisibility() != 1) yLabel.setVisibility(1); if (zLabel.getVisibility() != 1) zLabel.setVisibility(1); } @Override protected void onPause() { super.onPause(); sensorMgr.unregisterListener((SensorEventListener)this, sensorList.get(0)); sensorMgr = null; cx = 0; cy = 0; cz = 0; } @Override protected void onResume() { super.onResume(); sensorMgr = (SensorManager) getSystemService(SENSOR_SERVICE); sensorList = sensorMgr.getSensorList(Sensor.TYPE_ACCELEROMETER); boolean accelSupported = sensorMgr.registerListener((SensorEventListener)this, sensorList.get(0), SENSOR_DELAY_UI); if (!accelSupported) { // on accelerometer on this device sensorMgr.unregisterListener((SensorEventListener)this, sensorList.get(0)); } } @Override public void onAccuracyChanged(Sensor arg0, int arg1) { cx = 0; cy = 0; cz = 0; } @Override public void onSensorChanged(SensorEvent arg0) { if (arg0.sensor.getType() == Sensor.TYPE_ACCELEROMETER) { long curTime = System.currentTimeMillis(); // only allow one update every 100ms, otherwise updates // come way too fast and the phone gets bogged down // with garbage collection if (lastUpdate == -1 || (curTime - lastUpdate) > 100) { lastUpdate = curTime; x = arg0.values[0]; y = arg0.values[1]; z = arg0.values[2]; xLabel.setText(String.format("X: %+2.5f (%+2.5f)", (x+cx), cx)); yLabel.setText(String.format("Y: %+2.5f (%+2.5f)", (y+cy), cy)); zLabel.setText(String.format("Z: %+2.5f (%+2.5f)", (z+cz), cz)); } } } } </code></pre>
