Android OrientationEventListener SensorManager.SENSOR_DELAY_NORMAL Necessity

From the documentation, which says:

Use the default value of SENSOR_DELAY_NORMAL for simple screen orientation change detection.

Does it mean that if I don't include the sensor rate in the constructor, it will still apply the SENSOR_DELAY_NORMAL?

In other words, are this two the same:

OrientationEventListener(context)

OrientationEventListener(context, Sensor.SENSOR_DELAY_NORMAL)

PS: I use for simple screen orientation change detection.

Solution

  • According to the official source code, the former constructor is defined as follows,

    /**
 * Creates a new OrientationEventListener.
 * 
 * @param context for the OrientationEventListener.
 */
public OrientationEventListener(Context context) {
    this(context, SensorManager.SENSOR_DELAY_NORMAL);
}

    So, it's completely equivalent to the latter. You can use whichever you like.
