Sensor Service API example

This section presents the full source code of a working sample widget for the Sensor Service. You can download the wgz package for this widget from section Introduction to STEW.

For general information about creating widgets, see section Widget component files.

For widget development and debugging purposes, this example writes its output to c:\data\jslog_widget.log using console.info. For instructions on how to enable logging in the Web browser for S60, see section JavaScript console.

// Usage:
// 1. Call FindSensorChannel (input searchCriterion) - this call obtains a list of maps.The list can be fetched using the key : ReturnValue
// 2. From the list you need to fetch one ChannelInfo as a map.The fetching depends on how the runtime fetches items from an CLiwDefaultList.
// 3. It is this ChannelInfo map that needs to be supplied to all the other APIs that follow.
