Show the list of Available Sensors in Android

In Android we can find sensor list by using (android.hardware.SensorManager) class.

Steps:

1) Get SensorManager object

SensorManager sensorManager = (SensorManager) getSystemService(Context.SENSOR_SERVICE);

2) SensorManager provide a method getSensorList() method

using above method with parameter Sensor.TYPE_ALL to get all the sensors

Below code shows listofSensors

List<Sensor> listofSensors = sensorManager.getSensorList(Sensor.TYPE_ALL);

Output Screenshot:

Android Activity(MainActivity.java)

package com.androidsurya.androidsensorlist;

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;

import android.app.ListActivity;
import android.content.Context;
import android.hardware.Sensor;
import android.hardware.SensorManager;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.widget.ArrayAdapter;
import android.widget.ListView;

public class MainActivity extends ListActivity {

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
SensorManager sensorManager = (SensorManager)                                    getSystemService(Context.SENSOR_SERVICE);
List<Sensor> listofSensors = sensorManager.getSensorList(Sensor.TYPE_ALL);

List<String> listSensorTypes = new ArrayList<String>();
for (int i = 0; i < listofSensors.size(); i++) {
listSensorTypes.add(listofSensors.get(i).getName());
}

setListAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<String>(this,
android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, listSensorTypes));
getListView().setTextFilterEnabled(true);
}

@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
return true;
}

}

Register Activity in Android Manifest file

 <activity
            android:name="com.androidsurya.androidsensorlist.MainActivity"
            android:label="@string/app_name" >
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            </intent-filter>
