Question

Hello friends in my app I want to put sensor like when I rotate mobile from north to south at this time sensor is called, for that I see TYPE_GYROSCOPE is used but I don't know exactly how it can be used for my app

Please give any example for when I rotate my phone from north to south that sensor type is called. I have used the following

  @Override
public void onSensorChanged(SensorEvent event) {
                 if (event.sensor.getType() == Sensor.TYPE_GYROSCOPE) {
         // code here
    }
    }
