I know this was asked before, but I did not find the answer I'm looking for.
All I want to do is keep my phone in the sky and know the angle at which I hold it relative to the horizon. Therefore, if I hold it directly above me (the screen is on the ground), then it should read 90 degrees, and if I hold it in front of me (the screen is looking at me), it should read 0 degrees.
I tried some basics of getting data from the accelerometer, and I believe that I have values of X, Y and Y. How can I take these glasses and find my angle? Below is my OnSensorChanged event, from where I collect the coordinate.
public void onSensorChanged(SensorEvent event) {
if (event.sensor.getType() == Sensor.TYPE_ACCELEROMETER)
mGravity = event.values;
if (event.sensor.getType() == Sensor.TYPE_MAGNETIC_FIELD)
mGeomagnetic = event.values;
if (mGravity != null && mGeomagnetic != null) {
float R[] = new float[9];
float I[] = new float[9];
boolean success = SensorManager.getRotationMatrix(R, I, mGravity, mGeomagnetic);
if (success) {
float orientation[] = new float[3];
SensorManager.getOrientation(R, orientation);
playerAngle = (float) Math.toDegrees(Math.atan2(orientation[1], orientation[0]));
}
