how to measure ambient temperature in android

问题

I want to measure ambient temperature on android device. but my device doesn t include thermometer sensor. How can I measure it? Thanks.

回答1:

this is a basic example of how to get the Ambient Temperature in Android:

import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.hardware.Sensor;
import android.hardware.SensorEvent;
import android.hardware.SensorEventListener;
import android.hardware.SensorManager;
import android.os.Build;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.MenuItem;
import android.widget.TextView;


public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements SensorEventListener {

    private TextView temperaturelabel;
    private SensorManager mSensorManager;
    private Sensor mTemperature;
    private final static String NOT_SUPPORTED_MESSAGE = "Sorry, sensor not available for this device.";

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        temperaturelabel = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.myTemp);
        mSensorManager = (SensorManager)getSystemService(SENSOR_SERVICE);
        if(Build.VERSION.SDK_INT>=Build.VERSION_CODES.ICE_CREAM_SANDWICH){
            mTemperature= mSensorManager.getDefaultSensor(Sensor.TYPE_AMBIENT_TEMPERATURE); // requires API level 14.
        }
        if (mTemperature == null) {             
            temperaturelabel.setText(NOT_SUPPORTED_MESSAGE);
        }       
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
        getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
        return true;
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
        int id = item.getItemId();
        if (id == R.id.action_settings) {
            return true;
        }
        return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
    }

    @Override
    protected void onResume() {
        super.onResume();
        mSensorManager.registerListener(this, mTemperature, SensorManager.SENSOR_DELAY_NORMAL);
    }

    @Override
    protected void onPause() {                 
        super.onPause();
        mSensorManager.unregisterListener(this);
    }


    @Override
    public void onSensorChanged(SensorEvent event) {
        float ambient_temperature = event.values[0];
        temperaturelabel.setText("Ambient Temperature:\n " + String.valueOf(ambient_temperature) + getResources().getString(R.string.celsius));     
    }

    @Override
    public void onAccuracyChanged(Sensor sensor, int accuracy) {
        // Do something here if sensor accuracy changes.
    }
}

Have a go at this code:

public class SensorActivity extends Activity, implements SensorEventListener {
 private final SensorManager mSensorManager;
 private final Sensor mTemp;

 public SensorActivity() {
     mSensorManager = (SensorManager)getSystemService(SENSOR_SERVICE);
     mtemp = mSensorManager.getDefaultSensor(Sensor.TYPE_TEMPERATURE);
 }

 protected void onResume() {
     super.onResume();
     mSensorManager.registerListener(this, mTemp, SensorManager.SENSOR_DELAY_NORMAL);
 }

 protected void onPause() {
     super.onPause();
     mSensorManager.unregisterListener(this);
 }

 public void onAccuracyChanged(Sensor sensor, int accuracy) {
 }

 public void onSensorChanged(SensorEvent event) {
 }

Plus you can go through the documentation of the SensorManager here : http://developer.android.com/reference/android/hardware/SensorManager.html

This cannot be done. The temperature sensor even if exists if for the battery temperature and cpu temperature.

Edit: As swayam pointed out there is Ambient Temperature sensor added in API 14 but gingerbread compatibility document explicitly says not to include temperature measurement

Device implementations MAY but SHOULD NOT include a thermometer (i.e. temperature sensor.) If a device implementation does include a thermometer, it MUST measure the temperature of the device CPU. It MUST NOT measure any other temperature. (Note that this sensor type is deprecated in the Android 2.3 APIs.)

But most phones only include cpu temperature measurement sensor Sensor.TYPE_TEMPERATURE which is deprecated. So this does not give accurate temperature. You should use Sensor.TYPE_AMBIENT_TEMPERATURE which I dont think many phones have.
