| accelerometer.getCurrentAcceleration |
| ==================================== |
| |
| Get the current acceleration along the x, y, and z axis. |
| |
| navigator.accelerometer.getCurrentAcceleration(accelerometerSuccess, accelerometerError); |
| |
| Description |
| ----------- |
| |
| The accelerometer is a motion sensor that detects the change (delta) in movement relative to the current device orientation. The accelerometer can detect 3D movement along the x, y, and z axis. |
| |
| The acceleration is returned using the `accelerometerSuccess` callback function. |
| |
| Supported Platforms |
| ------------------- |
| |
| - Android |
| - BlackBerry WebWorks (OS 5.0 and higher) |
| - iPhone |
| - Windows Phone 7 (Mango) |
| - Bada 1.2 & 2.x |
| |
| Quick Example |
| ------------- |
| |
| function onSuccess(acceleration) { |
| alert('Acceleration X: ' + acceleration.x + '\n' + |
| 'Acceleration Y: ' + acceleration.y + '\n' + |
| 'Acceleration Z: ' + acceleration.z + '\n' + |
| 'Timestamp: ' + acceleration.timestamp + '\n'); |
| }; |
| |
| function onError() { |
| alert('onError!'); |
| }; |
| |
| navigator.accelerometer.getCurrentAcceleration(onSuccess, onError); |
| |

| iPhone Quirks |
| ------------- |
| |
| - iPhone doesn't have the concept of getting the current acceleration at any given point. |
| - You must watch the acceleration and capture the data at given time intervals. |
| - Thus, the `getCurrentAcceleration` function will give you the last value reported from a Cordova `watchAccelerometer` call. |
