react-native-sensor-manager

Wrapper for react-native. Accelerometer, Gyroscope, Magnetometer, Orientation, Step Counter, Thermometer, LightSensor, and Proximity Sensor are supported for now.

Add it to your project

$ npm i @victorsantoslexart/react-native-sensor-manager --save

Option: With rnpm

rnpm link

Option: Manually (try it if an runtime error occurs after nrpm link)

Dont need manual link anymore

Make alterations to the following files:

• android/settings.gradle

...
include ':react-native-sensor-manager'
project(':react-native-sensor-manager').projectDir = new File(settingsDir, '../node_modules/react-native-sensor-manager/android')

• android/app/build.gradle

...
dependencies {
    ...
    compile project(':react-native-sensor-manager')
}

• register module (in MainApplication.java)

  • For react-native below 0.19.0 (use cat ./node_modules/react-native/package.json | grep version)

import com.sensormanager.SensorManagerPackage; // <------ add package

public class MainActivity extends Activity implements DefaultHardwareBackBtnHandler {

  ......

  @Override
  protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    mReactRootView = new ReactRootView(this);

    mReactInstanceManager = ReactInstanceManager.builder()
      .setApplication(getApplication())
      .setBundleAssetName("index.android.bundle")
      .setJSMainModuleName("index.android")
      .addPackage(new MainReactPackage())
      .addPackage(new SensorManagerPackage())      // <------- add package
      .setUseDeveloperSupport(BuildConfig.DEBUG)
      .setInitialLifecycleState(LifecycleState.RESUMED)
      .build();

    mReactRootView.startReactApplication(mReactInstanceManager, "ExampleRN", null);

    setContentView(mReactRootView);
  }

  ......

}

• For react-native 0.19.0 and higher

import com.sensormanager.SensorManagerPackage; // <------ add package

public class MainApplication extends Application implements ReactApplication {
    // ...
    @Override
    protected List<ReactPackage> getPackages() {
      return Arrays.<ReactPackage>asList(
        // new MainReactPackage(), // <---- add comma
        new SensorManagerPackage() // <---------- add package
      );
    }
    // or
    @Override
      protected List<ReactPackage> getPackages() {
        @SuppressWarnings("UnnecessaryLocalVariable")
        List<ReactPackage> packages = new PackageList(this).getPackages();
        packages.add(new SensorManagerPackage()); // <---------- add package
        return packages;
      }

Setup

import React, {
  NativeModules,
  DeviceEventEmitter // will emit events that you can listen to
} from 'react-native';

function Component() {
  const { SensorManager } = NativeModules;
  // ...
}

Accelerometer

SensorManager.startAccelerometer(100); // To start the accelerometer with a minimum delay of 100ms between events.
DeviceEventEmitter.addListener('Accelerometer', function (data) {
  /**
  * data.x
  * data.y
  * data.z
  **/
});
SensorManager.stopAccelerometer();

Gyroscope

DeviceEventEmitter.addListener('Gyroscope', function (data) {
  /**
  * data.x
  * data.y
  * data.z
  **/
});
SensorManager.startGyroscope(100);
SensorManager.stopGyroscope();

Magnetometer

SensorManager.startMagnetometer(100);
DeviceEventEmitter.addListener('Magnetometer', function (data) {
  /**
  * data.x
  * data.y
  * data.z
  **/
});
SensorManager.stopMagnetometer();

Orientation

SensorManager.startOrientation(100);
DeviceEventEmitter.addListener('Orientation', function (data) {
  /**
  * data.azimuth
  * data.pitch
  * data.roll
  **/
});
SensorManager.stopOrientation();

Step Counter

SensorManager.startStepCounter(1000);
DeviceEventEmitter.addListener('StepCounter', function (data) {
  /**
  * data.steps
  **/
});
SensorManager.stopStepCounter();

Thermometer

SensorManager.startThermometer(1000);
DeviceEventEmitter.addListener('Thermometer', function (data) {
  /**
  * data.temp
  **/
});
SensorManager.stopThermometer();

LightSensor

SensorManager.startLightSensor(100);
DeviceEventEmitter.addListener('LightSensor', function (data) {
  /**
  * data.light
  **/
});
SensorManager.stopLightSensor();

Proximity Sensor

SensorManager.startProximity(100);
DeviceEventEmitter.addListener('Proximity', function (data) {
  /**
  * data.isNear: [Boolean] A flag representing whether something is near the screen.
  * data.value: [Number] The raw value returned by the sensor (usually distance in cm).
  * data.maxRange: [Number] The maximum range of the sensor.
  **/
});
SensorManager.stopProximity();
