Is it possible to know sensor state (enable/disable)

Former Member over 3 years ago

Hi,

Is it possible to know if sensor is on or off? I want to know which sensors are enabled and save them on array

Thank you!

Yes, it’s in the sensor info returned from the function getRegisteredSensors()

getRegisteredSensors(null) return all sensors but how can I know if the sensor is enable or disable?

If you are using the sim, try it on a real device with a paired sensor

A more comfortable method and very simple might be to ask if sensor data is available for each sensor via Activity.Info:
If true: sensor is ready to transmit:

if (info has :currentCadence and info.currentCadence != null)
if (info has :currentHeartRate and info.currentHeartRate != null)
if (info has :currentPower and info.currentPower != null)

and so on...

(Will not work for speedsensor cause speed is always available - even without sensor.)
