accelerometer

The release of IOS5 has this core function listed as deprecated . Does anyone know what will replace it? I'm assuming that apple is not going to remove the accelerometer from iPhone 5. Kay I did not yet use iOS 5, but already in 4.x UIAccelerometer and UIAccelerometerDelegate were replaced by the CoreMotion framework. It is more sophisticated, takes gyroscope signals into account and performs a sensor fusion i.e. does calibrating stuff like bias calculation for you. Basically the CMDeviceMotionHandler block callback is now the equivalent. It is called every deviceMotionUpdateInterval seconds

I'm trying to build an app for reading the values from the accelerometer on my phone, which supports Android 2.1 only. How do I read from the accelerometer using 2.1-compatible code? Start with this: public class yourActivity extends Activity implements SensorEventListener{ private SensorManager sensorManager; double ax,ay,az; // these are the acceleration in x,y and z axis @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.main); sensorManager=(SensorManager) getSystemService(SENSOR_SERVICE); sensorManager.registerListener

From my Android device I can read an array of linear acceleration values (in the device's coordinate system) and an array of absolute orientation values (in Earth's coordinate system). What I need is to obtain the linear acceleration values in the latter coord. system. How can I convert them? EDIT after Ali's reply in comment: All right, so if I understand correctly, when I measure the linear acceleration, the position of the phone completely does not matter, because the readings are given in Earth's coordinate system. right? But I just did a test where I put the phone in different positions
