How to get accelerometer data in IOS?

Question

I am using the UIAccelerotmeterDelegate method accelerometer:didAccelerate: but recently that method has been deprecated in iOS 5.0. So what is the alternative way

Answer 1

Add CoreMotion framework to the project first. Then:

#import 

@property (strong, nonatomic) CMMotionManager *motionManager;

- (void)viewDidLoad {
    _motionManager = [CMMotionManager new];
    _motionManager.accelerometerUpdateInterval = 0.01;       // 0.01 = 1s/100 = 100Hz
    if ([_motionManager isAccelerometerAvailable])
    {
        NSOperationQueue *queue = [NSOperationQueue new];
        [_motionManager startAccelerometerUpdatesToQueue:queue withHandler:^(CMAccelerometerData *accelerometerData, NSError *error){
             NSLog(@"X = %0.4f, Y = %.04f, Z = %.04f",
                   accelerometerData.acceleration.x,
                   accelerometerData.acceleration.y,
                   accelerometerData.acceleration.z);
         }];
    }
}
