Accelerometer
The PhoneGap Accelerometer API allows you to detect the device movement change values relative to device orientation. Note that the accelerometer detects the values as a delta movement relative to the current device position. Even more important, it takes into consideration the effect of gravity (that is, 9.81 m/s2), so that when a device is lying flat on a table facing up, the value returned should be x = 0, y = 0, and z = 9.81.
As with any other plugin, you have to install the plugin before you can use it in your project. The plugin can be added to your project using the following command:
$ cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-device-motion
Once the plugin is installed on the project, a navigator.Accelerometer
global object, is created and it is available to use once the deviceready
event is fired. However, it is recommended that you still check for its presence before using it:
document.addEventListener("deviceready", onDeviceReady, false); function onDeviceReady() { if...
