[jira] [Created] (CB-411) Accelerometer API does not hide implementation differences between the platforms (iPhone / Android)

Accelerometer API does not hide implementation differences between the platforms (iPhone / Android)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: CB-411
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-411
             Project: Apache Callback
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: iOS
    Affects Versions: 1.4.0
         Environment: iPhone 4.3
Android 2.3
            Reporter: DI Florian Hackenberger
            Assignee: Shazron Abdullah


The accelerometer API on the iPhone reports values in units of 1G, while Android uses the metres per second squared unit. PhoneGap should convert the values to a standard format before reporting it to the API users.

Certainly will do. It's on my todo list :)

I will file separate issues tagged for docs shortly! Keep an eye out for those.

Great, thanks for that information! Could you please add a note to the API docs on http://docs.phonegap.com/en/1.5.0/phonegap_accelerometer_accelerometer.md.html that before 1.5 (and 1.6.0rc1 on iPhone) the values were platform specific?

[jira] [Resolved] (CB-411) Accelerometer API does not hide implementation differences between the platforms (iPhone / Android)

Posted by "Filip Maj (Resolved) (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>.
     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-411?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Filip Maj resolved CB-411.
--------------------------

       Resolution: Fixed
    Fix Version/s: 1.6.0

The accelerometer APIs on Android and iOS were standardized to return values in m/s^2 via the unified JS project (cordova-js).

Android has been using cordova-js since 1.5, and iOS since 1.6.0rc1.

This will land in 1.6.0.
