import android.annotation.SuppressLint;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Context;
import android.hardware.Sensor;
import android.hardware.SensorManager;
import android.view.Menu;
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
getSensorList();
}
@SuppressLint("NewApi")
private void getSensorList() {
// 获取传感器管理器
SensorManager sensorManager = (SensorManager) getSystemService(Context.SENSOR_SERVICE);
// 获取所有传感器列表
List sensors = sensorManager.getSensorList(Sensor.TYPE_ALL);
// 打印每个传感器信息
StringBuilder strLog = new StringBuilder();
int iIndex = 1;
for (Sensor item : sensors) {
strLog.append(iIndex ".");
strLog.append("Sensor Type - " item.getType() "\r\n");
strLog.append("Sensor Name - " item.getName() "\r\n");
strLog.append("Sensor Version - " item.getVersion() "\r\n");

strLog.append("\r\n");
iIndex ;
}
System.out.println(strLog.toString());
}
@Override
