Android Sensors - MSBTE Exam Answer

Q. Explain different types of available sensors in Android with example.

Android provides built-in support for various sensors to detect physical and environmental changes.

These sensors help create interactive and smart applications.

Types of Android Sensors:

1. Motion Sensors

Detect motion or acceleration.

Examples: Accelerometer, Gyroscope, Gravity Sensor

2. Environmental Sensors

Detect data from the environment.

Examples: Temperature, Humidity, Light Sensor

3. Position Sensors

Measure physical position or orientation.

Examples: Proximity Sensor, Magnetometer (Compass)

Example: Environmental Sensor Demo App

I created a simple Android application to simulate Temperature and Humidity Sensor values.

When the "Load Sensor Data" button is clicked, it displays:

- Temperature: 24.5°C
- Humidity: 55.8%

Java (MainActivity.java):

// Simulates temperature and humidity values on button click

double temperature = 24.5;

double humidity = 55.8;

temperatureText.setText("Temperature: " + temperature + " °C");

humidityText.setText("Humidity: " + humidity + " %");

XML Layout (activity_main.xml):

<TextView android:id="@+id/temperatureText" ... />

<TextView android:id="@+id/humidityText" ... />

<Button android:id="@+id/loadButton" ... />

Viva Tip:

You can say:

"This example simulates environmental sensors in Android. I used a simple layout with button and

text, and displayed the sensor values when button is clicked."
