Proximity Sensor - Is that the one that tells you if you are holding the phone to your ear?
ProximitySensor
A sensor component that can measure the proximity of an object (in cm) relative to the view screen of a device. This sensor is typically used to determine whether a handset is being held up to a persons ear; i.e. lets you determine how far away an object is from a device. Many devices return the absolute distance, in cm, but some return only near and far values. In this case, the sensor usually reports its maximum range value in the far state and a lesser value in the near state. It reports the following value:
- Distance: The distance from the object to the device
Properties
Available
Reports whether or not the device has a proximity sensor.
Distance
Returns the distance from the object to the device. The sensor must be enabled to return meaningful values.
Enabled
If true, the sensor will generate events. Otherwise, no events are generated.
KeepRunningWhenOnPause
Returns value of keepRunningWhenOnPause.
MaximumRange
Determines a sensor’s maximum range. Some proximity sensors return binary values that represent “near” or “far.” In this case, the sensor usually reports its maximum range value in the far state and a lesser value in the near state. Typically, the far value is a value > 5 cm, but this can vary from sensor to sensor.
Events
ProximityChanged(distance)
Triggered when distance (in cm) of the object to the device changes.
Methods
None
