SensingKit-Android Library

An Android library that provides Continuous Sensing functionality to your applications. For more information, please refer to the project website.

Supported Sensors

The following sensor modules are currently supported in SensingKit-Android, (listed in SKSensorModuleType enum):

  • Accelerometer
  • Gravity
  • Linear Acceleration
  • Gyroscope
  • Rotation
  • Magnetometer
  • Ambient Temperature
  • Step Detector
  • Step Counter
  • Light
  • Location
  • Activity
  • Battery
  • Screen Status
  • Audio Recorder
  • Audio Level
  • Bluetooth

Configuring the Library

  • Build the library using the command:
./gradlew build
  • Create an app/libs directory inside your project and copy the generated SensingKitLib/build/outputs/aar/SensingKitLib-release.aar (or the equivalent debug) file there.

  • Edit your app/build.gradle file and add a flatDir entry as shown bellow:

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
    flatDir {
        dirs 'libs'
    }
}
  • In the same app/build.gradle file, add SensingKitLib as a dependency as shown below:
dependencies {
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    compile 'org.sensingkit:SensingKitLib-release@aar'
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:22.2.1’
    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:7.5.0'
}

How to Use this Library

  • Import and init SensingKit into your Activity class as shown bellow:
import org.sensingkit.sensingkitlib.SensingKitLib;

SensingKitLibInterface mSensingKitLib = SensingKitLib.getSensingKitLib(this);
  • Register a sensor module (e.g. a Light sensor) as shown bellow:
mSensingKitLib.registerSensorModule(SKSensorModuleType.LIGHT);
  • Subscribe a sensor data listener:
mSensingKitLib.subscribeSensorDataListener(SKSensorModuleType.LIGHT, new SKSensorDataListener() {
    @Override
    public void onDataReceived(final SKSensorModuleType moduleType, final SKSensorData sensorData) {
        System.out.println(sensorData.getDataInCSV());  // Print data in CSV format
    }
});
  • You can cast the data object into the actual sensor data object in order to access all the sensor data properties:
SKLightData lightData = (SKLightData)sensorData;
  • You can Start and Stop the Continuous Sensing using the following commands:
mSensingKitLib.startContinuousSensingWithSensor(SKSensorModuleType.LIGHT);
mSensingKitLib.stopContinuousSensingWithSensor(SKSensorModuleType.LIGHT);
