Get the current acceleration along the x, y, and z axis.
navigator.accelerometer.getCurrentAcceleration(accelerometerSuccess, accelerometerError);
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.
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);

getCurrentAcceleration
function will give you the last value reported from a Cordova watchAccelerometer
call.
