class DeviceRotation

package openfl.sensors

Available on AIR, Android, HashLink, Linux, Neko, Windows, iOS, macOS

The DeviceRotation class dispatches events based on activity detected by the device's accelerometer, gyroscope sensors. This data represents the device's roll, pitch, yaw and quaternions. When the device rotates, the sensors detect this rotation and return this data. The DeviceRotation class provides methods to query whether or not device rotation event handling is supported, and also to set the rate at which device rotation events are dispatched.

Note: Use the DeviceRotation.isSupported property to test the runtime environment for the ability to use this feature. While the DeviceRotation class and its members are accessible for multiple runtime platforms an devices, this does not imply that the handler is always supported at runtime. There are a few cases such as Android version etc where this handler is not supported, so you must check the support of this handler by using DeviceRotation.isSupported property. If DeviceRotation.isSupported is true at runtime, then DeviceRotation support currently exists.

OpenFL target support: Not currently supported, except when targeting AIR.

Adobe AIR profile support: This feature is supported only on mobile devices. It is not supported on desktop or AIR for TV devices. See AIR Profile Support for more information regarding API support across multiple profiles.

Static variables

staticread onlyisSupported:Bool

The isSupported property is set to true if the accelerometer and gyroscope sensors are available on the device, otherwise it is set to false.

Constructor

new()

Creates a new DeviceRotation instance.

Variables

@:value(false)read onlymuted:Bool = false

Specifies whether the user has denied access to the Device Rotation data (true) or allowed access (false). When this value changes, a status event is dispatched.

Methods

setRequestedUpdateInterval(interval:Float):Void

The setRequestedUpdateInterval method is used to set the desired time interval for updates. The time interval is measured in milliseconds. The update interval is only used as a hint to conserve the battery power. The actual time between device rotation vector updates may be greater or lesser than this value. Any change in the update interval affects all registered listeners. You can use the DeviceRotation class without calling the setRequestedUpdateInterval() method. In this case, the application receives updates based on the device's default interval.
