First of all, sorry for my english. I'm programming an Augmented Reality Browser for Android following the steps in Raghav Sood's book. Its title is Pro Android Augmented Reality. The thing is that when i launch the example of chapter 9 (named Pro Android AR 9 and located in https://github.com/RaghavSood/ProAndroidAugmentedReality) in my devices, it works fine or not depending on the kind of device.
In my Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc with Android 4.0.4 the browser implemented by Raghav works really fine. When i test the augmented-reality browser in Asus Eee Pad Transformer or in Samsung Galaxy Tab, both of them with Android 4.0.3, the readings from the sensors seem to be wrong. Holding the tablets in landscape mode in front of me, if i focus over one spot (wikipedia, twitter or local markers) and turn over myself to the right, the spots goes down. If i turn to the left, the spots goes up. If i want the spots to move to the left, i have to tilt the devices making their screens look to the ground. In the same order, if i turn the devices making the screens look up to the air, the spots will move to the right.
Seems like the program is confusing sensor readings. Anyone knows how to solve the problem??? Thanks in advance.
i made it. I don't know if it is a good solution but seems to work fine on tablets.
Changing the axis to:
SensorManager.remapCoordinateSystem(temp, SensorManager.AXIS_X, SensorManager.AXIS_Y, rotation)
in SensorActivity seems to fix the axis malfunction. Other problem was that the text asociated with each POI appeared turned in tablets using landscape mode. To avoid this, i used a conditional rotation modification in set method of PaintablePosition class:
if(drawObj.toString().toLowerCase().contains("paintableboxedtext")) rotation=rotation+270;
