Usage

To use this plugin, add sensors_plus as a dependency in your pubspec.yaml file.

This will expose four classes of sensor events through four different streams.

• AccelerometerEvents describe the velocity of the device, including the effects of gravity. Put simply, you can use accelerometer readings to tell if the device is moving in a particular direction.
• UserAccelerometerEvents also describe the velocity of the device, but don't include gravity. They can also be thought of as just the user's affect on the device.
• GyroscopeEvents describe the rotation of the device.
• MagnetometerEvents describe the ambient magnetic field surrounding the device. A compass is an example usage of this data.

Each of these is exposed through a BroadcastStream: accelerometerEvents, userAccelerometerEvents, gyroscopeEvents, and magnetometerEvents, respectively.

Example

import 'package:sensors_plus/sensors_plus.dart';

accelerometerEvents.listen((AccelerometerEvent event) {
  print(event);
});
// [AccelerometerEvent (x: 0.0, y: 9.8, z: 0.0)]

userAccelerometerEvents.listen((UserAccelerometerEvent event) {
  print(event);
});
// [UserAccelerometerEvent (x: 0.0, y: 0.0, z: 0.0)]

gyroscopeEvents.listen((GyroscopeEvent event) {
  print(event);
});
// [GyroscopeEvent (x: 0.0, y: 0.0, z: 0.0)]

magnetometerEvents.listen((MagnetometerEvent event) {
  print(event);
});
// [MagnetometerEvent (x: -23.6, y: 6.2, z: -34.9)]

Also see the example subdirectory for an example application that uses the sensor data.

Important: As of January 2021, the Flutter team is no longer accepting non-critical PRs for the original set of plugins in flutter/plugins, and instead they should be submitted in this project. You can read more about this announcement here as well as in the Flutter 2 announcement blog post.
