manifest.xml when using sensors

Question

I am working in a project, it doesn't work and I suppose that the error is here: should I write something in manifest.xml when I want to work with sensors : compass, gyroscope and accelerometer?

Thanks

<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.sensor.accelerometer" android:required="true" />

you have to declare this in manifest.xml

Sorry but it is not an obligation. – RiadSaadi Dec 11 '13 at 13:29

This is not required to use the sensor. This is a Google Play filter that will restrict the app from devices that do not have an accelerometer. This is documented at https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/sensors/sensors_overview.html – Chris Miller Jan 31 '18 at 18:26

Provide permissions in manifest.

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_MOCK_LOCATION"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE"/>

And also check below work:

sensorManager.registerListener(this, accelerometer, SensorManager.SENSOR_DELAY_NORMAL);
sensorManager.registerListener(this, magnetometer, SensorManager.SENSOR_DELAY_NORMAL);

Do not forget to unregister them.

Note: Android SDK folder also contains some helpful sensor sample applications

mark True or voteup if helpful...

you could just simply give a reference of this.http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8970065/cant-access-the-sensors-in-android. It was not needed to copy and paste. — Mukesh Kumar Singh, Dec 10 '13 at 14:51

Manifest is the class where you can only write what application contains: application version, activitites, permissions etc. What type of data you want to entering. If you want to enter string. so place it in strings.xml.
