Access accelerometer via Javascript in Android?

rated 0 times [ 15] [ 2] / answers: 1 / hits: 37201 / 14 Years ago, fri, december 17, 2010, 12:00:00

Is there any way to access accelerometer data using Javascript on Android's browser? I know it supports onorientationchange, but I'd like to get everything.

Clarification: I'm asking how to do this in a website, not a native app.

As of ICS, Android 4.0, you can use the 'devicemotion' event via a JavaScript event listener to access the accelerometer data. See the W3C documentation on how to access it - http://dev.w3.org/geo/api/spec-source-orientation.html.

Note - The W3C documentation title is named with 'device orientation', but the spec does indeed include 'devicemotion' event documentation.
