DeviceMotionEvent

The acceleration read-only property of the DeviceMotionEvent interface returns the acceleration recorded by the device, in meters per second squared (m/s²). This value does not include the effect of the gravitational force, in contrast to DeviceMotionEvent.accelerationIncludingGravity.

The accelerationIncludingGravity read-only property of the DeviceMotionEvent interface returns the amount of acceleration recorded by the device, in meters per second squared (m/s²). Unlike DeviceMotionEvent.acceleration which compensates for the influence of gravity, its value is the sum of the acceleration of the device as induced by the user and an acceleration equal and opposite to that caused by gravity. In other words, it measures the g-force. In practice, this value represents the raw data measured by an accelerometer.

The interval read-only property of the DeviceMotionEvent interface returns the interval, in milliseconds, at which data is obtained from the underlying hardware. You can use this to determine the granularity of motion events.

The rotationRate read-only property of the DeviceMotionEvent interface returns the rate at which the device is rotating around each of its axes in degrees per second.
