List of Sensors in an Android Phone

A small utility to display the list of Sensors present in an Android phone.
For those who are not interested in the code, the installable apk file is provided as a downloadable link at the end of this article.

The Activity class

package com.example.listsensors;

import java.util.List;

import android.os.Bundle;
import android.hardware.Sensor;
import android.hardware.SensorManager;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Context;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.widget.TextView;

public class MainActivity extends Activity {

	@Override
	protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
		super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
		setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
		
		SensorManager mgr = (SensorManager) getSystemService(Context.SENSOR_SERVICE);
		List sensors = mgr.getSensorList(Sensor.TYPE_ALL);
		
		String data = "";
		for(int i =0; i < sensors.size(); i++) {
				Sensor s = (Sensor) sensors.get(i);
				data += s.getName() + "\r\n";
		}
		TextView view = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.txtList);
		view.setText(data);
	}

	@Override
	public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
		// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
		getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
		return true;
	}

}

The Layout xml

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:paddingBottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
    android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
    android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
    android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
    tools:context=".MainActivity" >

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/txtList"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="@string/hello_world" />

</RelativeLayout>
