Tracking the movement of the phone in space? Is the accelerometer responsible for this?

Question

Android

I think everyone knows the Magic 8 ball. So, I started to study cordova and write such an application so that after shaking the phone, an inscription appears on the ball, but I can’t figure out how to track that the phone was shaken along any of the axes.

Answer 1

Position axes+Accelerometer+Hall sensor
The design of the accelerometer is such that it responds only to the component of acceleration that coincides with the direction of movement of the weight, the so-called sensitivity axis of the device. The simplest accelerometers have one such axis, but there are options with two or three sensitivity axes.

Answer 2

Also a couple of months ago, I dabbled in this, and also using MagicBall as an example - at first, I wrote an application that, when you click on the button, shook and animated the ball, and gave out the answer. Then screwed the accelerometer. There is no example code anymore. But if you search, you can find ready-made solutions. Getting into the code is not difficult. What would then adjust the sensitivity of shaking the phone.
