So I'm looking for a way to get the current value of the Light Sensor (in Lux obviously) on a button press. Here is the code I'm using to implement control of the light sensor
public class SensorActivity extends Activity implements SensorEventListener
{
private final SensorManager mSensorManager;
private final Sensor mLight;
int minLux = 0;
int currentLux = 0;
int maxLux;
public SensorActivity()
{
mSensorManager = (SensorManager)getSystemService(SENSOR_SERVICE);
mLight = mSensorManager.getDefaultSensor(Sensor.TYPE_LIGHT);
}
protected void onResume()
{
super.onResume();
mSensorManager.registerListener((SensorEventListener) this, mLight, SensorManager.SENSOR_DELAY_NORMAL);
}
protected void onPause()
{
super.onPause();
mSensorManager.unregisterListener((SensorListener) this);
}
public void onAccuracyChanged(Sensor sensor, int accuracy)
{
if(sensor.getType() == Sensor.TYPE_LIGHT)
{
}
}
public void onSensorChanged(SensorEvent event)
{
if( event.sensor.getType() == Sensor.TYPE_LIGHT)
{
}
}
}
I also have this code making the button to call a function
<Button android:layout_width="122px" android:id="@+id/widget35" android:text="Start" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_x="112dp" android:layout_y="249dp" android:onClick="onButtonDown"></Button>
How would I get the current lux value while the app is running in the background, and how would I get and store the current lux value on button press into int maxLux;
?
