Class and interface description

The Mobile Sensor API is supported as specified in the feature description but with the following exceptions.

ChannelInfo

Channel details for all sensors are defined as follows:

**Table:** Channel details
Sensor type	Accuracy	Data type	Unit	Channel names
Accelerometer (SI values)	0.1	`TYPE_DOUBLE`	m/s^2	`axis_x` `axis_y` `axis_z`
Accelerometer (raw values)	0.1	`TYPE_INT`	raw	`axis_x` `axis_y` `axis_z`
Battery charge level	0.1429	`TYPE_INT`	%	`battery_charge`
Charger state	boolean	`TYPE_INT`	boolean	`charger_state`
Network field intensity	NoLoc	`TYPE_INT`	%	`network_field_intensity`

Each channel has one MeasurementRange, which is common to all channels. The MeasurementRanges are detailed as follows:

**Table:** Channel measurement ranges
Sensor type	Largest value	Smallest value	Resolution
Accelerometer (SI values)	19.62	-19.62	0.15328125
Accelerometer (raw values)	127.0	-128.0	1.0
Battery charge level	100.0	0.0	14.29
Charger state	1.0	0.0	1.0
Network field intensity	100.0	0.0	1.0

Note: The values are specific to sensor device driver.

SensorConnection

The Symbian platform supports the following parameters for Connector.open for opening a SensorConnection:

**Table:** SensorConnection parameters
Function	<quantity>	<contextType>	<model>	<location>
Accelerometer (SI values)	acceleration	user	Nokia	NoLoc
Accelerometer (raw values)	acceleration	user	Nokia2	NoLoc
Battery charge level	battery_charge	device	Nokia	device
Charger state	charger_state	device	Nokia	device
Network field intensity	network_field_intensity	device	Nokia	device

For a description of the terms, see section Finding and identifying sensors.

You can also retrieve the above values during runtime by calling SensorManager.findSensors(null, null).

SensorInfo

In addition to the parameters listed for SensorConnection, the following property values are defined:

**Table:** SensorInfo properties
Property name	Type	Value
`PROP_LOCATION`	string	See `<location>` in table SensorConnection parameters.
`PROP_VENDOR`	string	`Nokia`

On Symbian devices, sensors are always available, push MIDlets are not supported, and the maximum buffer size is 256. This results in the following return values for SensorInfo methods:

**Table:** SensorInfo query methods
Method name	Type	Value
`getMaxBufferSize`	int	`256`
`isAvailable`	boolean	`true`
`isAvailabilityPushSupported`	boolean	`false`
`isConditionPushSupported`	boolean	`false`
