Hey, the code I am using is simply

It says that an accelerometer does not exist and it returns 0. I am using a Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime and it says it has an accelerometer. I downloaded other apps such as an accelerometer sensor tester and it worked just fine. It detected it and everything. Is this a glitch? Information websites say the phone has an accelerometer, but it does not have a gyroscope. Are they the same thing? If so, what is the difference?

Try the getrawaccelx / y / z commands. If they work, then I guess GetDirection is broken.

I'm not sure how that could be happening, we use the Android methods of accessing the accelerometer, albeit from the NDK rather than the SDK. Is your version of Android up to date?

Ahh yes! Good shout Paul. What firmware are you using? I recall some older Cyanogenmod releases had sensor issues so probably worth making sure you are fully up to date.
