Android-based devices have a collection of built-in sensors in them, which measure certain parameters like motion, orientation, and many more through their high accuracy. The sensors can be both hardware and software based on nature. There are three prominent categories of sensors in Android devices. They are:
- Position Sensor: It is used for measuring the physical position of the Android device. This has orientation sensors and magnetometers.
- Motion Sensors: These sensors consist of gravity, rotational activity, and acceleration sensors which measure the rotation of the device or the acceleration, etc.
- Environmental Sensor: It includes sensors that measure temperature, humidity, pressure, and other environmental factors.
