how to detect head movement via glass gdk api?

I write an app for google glass platform using the gdk.

how can I detect and react to head movement?

I don't find the proper listener not the Gesture enum (e.g. Gesture.SWIPE_UP)

gestureDetector.setBaseListener(new GestureDetector.BaseListener() {
  @Override
  public boolean onGesture(Gesture gesture) {
    if (gesture == Gesture.TAP) {
        //do something
      }
      return true;
    } else if (gesture == Gesture.SWIPE_UP) {


gestureDetector.setScrollListener(new ScrollListener() {

    @Override
    public boolean onScroll(float arg0, float arg1, float arg2) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        return false;
    }
})
Solution

  • Take a look here: https://developers.google.com/glass/develop/gdk/location-sensors . It should help you out with the accelerator and other sensors that are accessible via the GDK. The code you have copied is for the touch pad, not for head movement.
