What are the boundaries for the SensorEvent values?

I'm programming an APP for Android and i can't find the boundaries for SensorEvent values on the documentation. Is there any way to know what are the limits or to obtain the device limits?

Thanks!

Solution

  • The other question isn't specific as the values aren't specified in the HAL headers but the HAL interface is documented here

    In the HAL the maxRange is documented as:

    "The maximum value the sensor can report, in the same unit as the reported values. The sensor must be able to report values without saturating within [-maxRange; maxRange]."

    So I guess the getMaximumRange() value will work.
