Introduction

The proximity sensor measures distance of an object from the front of a phone. It is commonly used on smart devices to detect (and skip) accidental touchscreen taps when held to the ear during a call. When developing application using proximity sensor, consider the following:

Introduction

Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is a type of radiation that is produced by the sun and some artificial sources, such as solariums. UV sensor detects the level of UV index. Atmospheric pressure is an indicator of weather. Pressure sensor detects the level of pressure in hPa unit.

How to use Light Sensor in Tizen

The light sensor detects the brightness of ambient light. It can be used to measure the brightness level of the screen, apps to measure light illuminance in lux using ambient light sensor of your device for many different purpose like (Photography, IoT device control)

Introduction

The article will demonstrate how to use built-in sensors such as the gyroscope or accelerometer in Tizen Native applications. The topic presented here is based on the code of a sample game which was simplified in order to focus on a particular part of the Tizen Native API.

The article was created for developers who have basic knowledge of the C programming language. Developers reading this article should have basic knowledge about the Tizen native application life cycle as well.
