HTML5 Device Motion Event

This event provides direct access to motion data from an accelerometer and gyroscope. The three pieces of data provided are the acceleration, acceleration including gravity and rotation rate.
At this moment the data supported is from Accelerometer only.

Code Example:

<script type="text/javascript">

window.addEventListener("devicemotion", function(event) {

		var ax = "Acceleration X value- " + event.accelerationIncludingGravity.x;
		var ay = "Acceleration Y value- " + event.accelerationIncludingGravity.y;
		var az = "Acceleration Z value- " + event.accelerationIncludingGravity.z;

		alert(ax+"\n"+ay+"\n"+az);

}, true);

</script>

Functions

void initDeviceMotionEvent ()

Initializes the event listener and it's parameters

Supported Platforms

Properties

readonly Acceleration accelerationIncludingGravity

Implementations that are unable to provide acceleration data without the effect of gravity (due, for example, to the lack of a gyroscope) may instead supply the acceleration including the effect of gravity. This is less useful in many applications but is provided as a means of providing best-effort support. In this case, the values reported are equal to the acceleration of the device, plus an acceleration equal and opposite to the acceleration due to gravity.

Supported Platforms
	- BlackBerry PlayBook 1.0+
	- BlackBerry 10

readonly Number interval

The regular interval at which the event must fire at, given in milliseconds
