Example: Navigating an image with the accelerometer

This example shows you how to receive accelerometer values and use them to navigate a picture. The example MIDlet consists of two classes: Panorama and PanoramaCanvas.

The MIDlet loads a preset image into the device display and scrolls it across the screen according to the device's orientation. The image used here is a 360 degree panorama loop that wraps around horizontally. The image is provided courtesy of www.roundus.com where you can find other similar images.
