Motion, Stylus, Trackpads And Foldables In The Core

For a long time, mobile meant a touch screen and a few platform-specific escape hatches. That is no longer enough. A Codename One app can run on phones, tablets, desktops, watches, TVs, browsers, foldables, touch laptops, external displays, cars, and devices with pens, mice, and trackpads. What is Codename One? Codename One is an open-source framework for building native iOS, Android, desktop, and web apps from a single Java or Kotlin codebase. Learn more at codenameone.com. PR #5310 and PR #5309 make that hardware visible through core APIs instead of cn1libs and platform branches. Motion Sensors And Gestures The new com.codename1.sensors package exposes accelerometer, gyroscope and magnetometer readings. It also derives gravity, linear acceleration and orientation in the core when the platform does not provide them directly. MotionSensorManager sensors = MotionSensorManager.getInstance(); MotionSensor accel = sensors.getSensor(MotionSensorManager.TYPE_ACCELEROMETER)
