in my app i want to use augmented reality to find places like family restaurants etc.. What i want to do is that when i start my app camera turned on and then i want to locate the places in the direction of the camera .for example i start the app and i m facing the east and phone keypad is facing towards me i.e west,then the places which are in east direction. i have written some code which starts the camera, please suggest any api available for this task and example and tutorial to do that .thanks in advance. here is my code.
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
// try{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
sensorMan = (SensorManager) getSystemService(Context.SENSOR_SERVICE);
sensorMan.registerListener(this,sensorMan.getDefaultSensor(SensorManager.SENSOR_ORIENTATION),
SensorManager.SENSOR_DELAY_FASTEST);
//lastUpdate = System.currentTimeMillis();
sensorMan.registerListener(this, sensorMan.getDefaultSensor(Sensor.TYPE_ACCELEROMETER),
SensorManager.SENSOR_DELAY_NORMAL);
}//end of oncreate
@Override
public void onAccuracyChanged(Sensor sensor, int accuracy) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
@Override
public void onSensorChanged(SensorEvent event) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
if (event.sensor.getType() == Sensor.TYPE_ACCELEROMETER) {
Toast.makeText(this, "X-rawDirection->"+event.values[0], Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
Toast.makeText(this, "Y-rawDirection->"+event.values[1], Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
Toast.makeText(this, "Z-rawDirection->"+event.values[2], Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
if (event.sensor.getType() == Sensor.TYPE_ORIENTATION) {
Toast.makeText(this, "X-rawDirection TYPE_ORIENTATION->"+event.values[0], Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
Toast.makeText(this, "Y-rawDirection TYPE_ORIENTATION->"+event.values[1], Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
Toast.makeText(this, "Z-rawDirection TYPE_ORIENTATION->"+event.values[2], Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}
}
Here is the important link.
