Type Property

Applies to TestComplete 15.62, last modified on March 14, 2024
The information below concerns legacy mobile tests that work with mobile devices connected to the local computer. For new mobile tests, we recommend using the newer cloud-compatible approach.

Description

Returns the type of the selected sensor. See Getting Data From Mobile Device Sensors (Legacy).

Note: For detailed information on built-in sensors, see the documents from the Sensors Overview section of the Android Developer documentation.

Declaration

AndroidSensorObj.Type

Read-Only Property String
AndroidSensorObj An expression, variable or parameter that specifies a reference to an AndroidSensor object

Applies To

The property is applied to the following object:

Property Value

A string constant describing the type of the sensor:

Constant value Description Number of returned values Measurement unit
TYPE_ACCELEROMETER Measures the acceleration force that is applied to a device on all three physical axes (x, y, and z), including the force of gravity. 3 Meters per second squared (m/s2)
TYPE_AMBIENT_TEMPERATURE Measures the ambient room temperature. 1 Celsius degrees (°C)
TYPE_GRAVITY Measures the force of gravity that is applied to a device on all three physical axes (x, y, z). 3 Meters per second squared (m/s2)
TYPE_GYROSCOPE Measures a device's rate of rotation around each of the three physical axes (x, y, and z). 3 Radians per second (rad/s)
TYPE_LIGHT Measures the ambient light level. 1 Luxes (lx)
TYPE_LINEAR_ACCELERATION Measures the acceleration force that is applied to a device on all three physical axes (x, y, and z), excluding the force of gravity. 3 Meters per second squared (m/s2)
TYPE_MAGNETIC_FIELD Measures the ambient geomagnetic field for all three physical axes (x, y, z). 3 Micro-teslas (μT)
TYPE_ORIENTATION Measures the rotation that a device makes around all three physical axes (x, y, z). 3 Degrees (°)
TYPE_PRESSURE Measures the ambient air pressure. 1 Milli-bars (mPa)
TYPE_PROXIMITY Measures the proximity of an object relative to the view screen of a device. 1 Centimeters (cm)
TYPE_RELATIVE_HUMIDITY Measures the relative ambient humidity. 1 Percents (%)
TYPE_ROTATION_VECTOR Measures the orientation of a device by providing the three elements of the device's rotation vector. 3 (Unitless)
TYPE_TEMPERATURE Measures the temperature of the device. 1 Celsius degrees (°C)

Example

The script below demonstrates how you can list Android device sensors and their values.

JavaScript, JScript

function ListSensors()
{
  var sensor, i;

  Mobile.SetCurrent("Nexus 7");
  for (i = 0; i < Mobile.Device().SensorsCount; i++)
  {
    sensor = Mobile.Device().Sensor(i);
    Log.AppendFolder("Sensor " + i + ": " + sensor.Name);
    Log.Message(sensor.Type);
    Log.Message("Value0: " + sensor.Values.Value0);
    Log.Message("Value1: " + sensor.Values.Value1);
    Log.Message("Value2: " + sensor.Values.Value2);
    Log.PopLogFolder();
  }
}

Python

def ListSensors():

  Mobile.SetCurrent("Nexus 7")
  for i in range (0,  Mobile.Device().SensorsCount):
    sensor = Mobile.Device().Sensor[i]
    Log.AppendFolder("Sensor " + IntToStr(i) + ": " + sensor.Name)
    Log.Message(sensor.Type)
    Log.Message("Value0: " + VarToStr(sensor.Values.Value0))
    Log.Message("Value1: " + VarToStr(sensor.Values.Value1))
    Log.Message("Value2: " + VarToStr(sensor.Values.Value2))
    Log.PopLogFolder()

VBScript

Sub ListSensors
  Dim sensor, i

  Call Mobile.SetCurrent("Nexus 7")
  For i = 0 To Mobile.Device.SensorsCount - 1
    Set sensor = Mobile.Device.Sensor(i)
    Call Log.AppendFolder("Sensor " & i & ": " & sensor.Name)
    Call Log.Message(sensor.Type)
    Call Log.Message("Value0: " & sensor.Values.Value0)
    Call Log.Message("Value1: " & sensor.Values.Value1)
    Call Log.Message("Value2: " & sensor.Values.Value2)
    Call Log.PopLogFolder
  Next
End Sub

DelphiScript

procedure ListSensors;
var sensor, i;
begin
  Mobile.SetCurrent('Nexus 7');
  for i := 0 to Mobile.Device.SensorsCount - 1 do
  begin
    sensor := Mobile.Device.Sensor(i);
    Log.AppendFolder('Sensor ' + aqConvert.VarToStr(i) + ': ' + sensor.Name);
    Log.Message(sensor.Type);
    Log.Message('Value0: ' + aqConvert.VarToStr(sensor.Values.Value0));
    Log.Message('Value1: ' + aqConvert.VarToStr(sensor.Values.Value1));
    Log.Message('Value2: ' + aqConvert.VarToStr(sensor.Values.Value2));
    Log.PopLogFolder;
  end;
end;

C++Script, C#Script

function ListSensors()
{
  var sensor, i;

  Mobile["SetCurrent"]("Nexus 7");
  for (i = 0; i < Mobile["Device"]["SensorsCount"]; i++)
  {
    sensor = Mobile["Device"]["Sensor"](i);
    Log["AppendFolder"]("Sensor " + i + ": " + sensor["Name"]);
    Log["Message"](sensor.Type);
    Log["Message"]("Value0: " + ["sensor"]["Values"]["Value0"]);
    Log["Message"]("Value1: " + ["sensor"]["Values"]["Value1"]);
    Log["Message"]("Value2: " + ["sensor"]["Values"]["Value2"]);
    Log["PopLogFolder"]();
  }
}
