The getCurrentAcceleration method obtains data from the accelerometer at the time it was called - a single call to obtain a single response object. In this recipe, we'll build an application that allows us to set an interval to obtain a constant update from the accelerometer to detect continual movement from the device.
We will provide additional parameters to a new method available through the PhoneGap API to set the update interval:
First, create a new PhoneGap project named
accelupdate. Open Terminal or Command Prompt and run the following command:phonegap create accelupdate com.myapp.accelupdate accelupateAdd the devices platform. You can choose to use Android, iOS, or both:
cordova platform add ios cordova platform add android
Add the
device-motionplugin by running the following command:phonegap plugin add org.apache.cordova.device-motionOpen
