Android Sensor Programming By Example

Summary

In this chapter, we learned how to use various environment sensors. We also derived of altitude, absolute humidity, and dew point values using the temperature, pressure, and relative humidity sensors. We also looked at alternate sources (the openweathermap web service) to obtain the temperature, relative humidity, and pressure values to compensate for the non-availability of any environment sensor on the phone.

In the next chapter, we will learn how to use light and proximity sensors, and we will look at how they can be used in real-world applications.
