Classes and interfaces in Symbian

The Symbian platform supports the Mobile Sensor API as specified in the feature description but with the following exceptions.

ChannelInfo in Symbian

The Symbian platform defines the following data properties for sensor channels:

**Table:** Channel data properties in Symbian
Sensor	Accuracy	Data type	Unit	Channel names
Accelerometer (raw values)	0.1	`TYPE_INT`	raw	`axis_x` `axis_y` `axis_z`
Accelerometer (SI values)	0.1	`TYPE_DOUBLE`	m/s^2	`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`

The Symbian platform defines the following measurement ranges for sensor channels:

Note: The values are specific to sensor device driver.

**Table:** Channel measurement ranges in Symbian
Sensor	Channels	Largest value	Smallest value	Resolution
Accelerometer (raw values)	`axis_x` `axis_y` `axis_z`	127.0	-128.0	1.0
Accelerometer (SI values)	`axis_x` `axis_y` `axis_z`	19.62	-19.62	0.15328125
Battery charge level	`battery_charge`	100.0	0.0	14.29
Charger state	`charger_state`	1.0	0.0	1.0
Network field intensity	`network_field_intensity`	100.0	0.0	1.0

For more information about the supported sensor channels, see Appendix E of the Mobile Sensor API specification.

SensorConnection in Symbian

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

**Table:** SensorConnection parameters in Symbian
Function	<quantity>	<contextType>	<model>	<location>
Accelerometer (raw values)	`acceleration`	`user`	`Nokia2`	`NoLoc`
Accelerometer (SI values)	`acceleration`	`user`	`Nokia`	`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 Symbian

The Symbian platform defines the following sensor properties:

**Table:** SensorInfo properties in Symbian
Property	Type	Value
`PROP_LOCATION`	string	See `<location>` in table SensorConnection parameters in Symbian.
`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 in Symbian
Method	Type	Value
`getMaxBufferSize`	int	`256`
`isAvailable`	boolean	`true`
`isAvailabilityPushSupported`	boolean	`false`
`isConditionPushSupported`	boolean	`false`
