LazDeviceAPIs is a LCL unit which offers an interface to various hardware devices, such as the accelerometer, GPS positioning, SMS sending, etc. It is mostly designed for smartphone/mobile platforms, but it might eventually be ported to desktops too.
Introduction
LazDeviceAPIs was modeled to be similar to other APIs for hardware devices from the LCL. Historically we had two hardware global objects: Mouse and Screen, respectively for the pointing device (Mouse is also utilized for touch messages) and Screen for the display. In LazDeviceAPIs there are global objects: Accelerometer, PositionInfo, Messaging, etc.
Accelerometer
The Accelerometer is very easy to use. Just call Accelerometer.StartReadingAccelerometerData to start listening to the accelerometer sensor and call Accelerometer.StopReadingAccelerometerData to stop listening to it:
uses lazdeviceapis;
procedure TForm2.btnStartAccelClick(Sender: TObject);
begin
Accelerometer.OnSensorChanged := @HandleAccelerometerChanged;
Accelerometer.StartReadingAccelerometerData();
end;
procedure TForm2.btnStopAccelClick(Sender: TObject);
begin
Accelerometer.StopReadingAccelerometerData();
end;
procedure TForm2.HandleAccelerometerChanged(Sender: TObject);
begin
labelSensorData.Caption := Format('X=%f Y=%f Z=%f', [Accelerometer.xaxis,
Accelerometer.yaxis, Accelerometer.zaxis]);
DebugLn(labelSensorData.Caption);
end;
Android Permissions
This object requires no special permissions under Android.
PositionInfo
Android Permissions
Using the PositionInfo global object in Android requires adding the following permissions to the AndroidManifest.xml file of the application, as can be seen bellow.
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" />
Messaging
Android Permissions
Using the Messaging global object in Android requires adding the following permissions to the AndroidManifest.xml file of the application, as can be seen bellow.
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.SEND_SMS" />
Roadmap
LazDeviceAPIs is currently implemented only for LCL-CustomDrawn-Android
