Sometimes it is required to display a notification at a specific time, a task that unfortunately is not trivial on the Android system, as there is no method setTime() or similiar for notifications. This example outlines the steps needed to schedule notifications using the AlarmManager: Add a Broa...

Retrieving sensor information from the onboard sensors: public class MainActivity extends Activity implements SensorEventListener { private SensorManager mSensorManager; private Sensor accelerometer; private Sensor gyroscope; float[] accelerometerData = new float[3]; f...

The sensor values returned by Android are with respective to the phone's coordinate system (e.g. +Y points towards the top of the phone). We can transform these sensor values into a world coordinate system (e.g. +Y points towards magnetic North, tangential to the ground) using the sensor managers ro...
