获取传感器列表的代码如下：

package com.example.androidtest;

import java.util.List;

import android.os.Bundle;

import android.annotation.SuppressLint;

import android.app.Activity;

import android.content.Context;

import android.hardware.Sensor;

import android.hardware.SensorManager;

import android.view.Menu;

public class MainActivity extends Activity {

@Override

protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

getSensorList();

}

@SuppressLint("NewApi")

private void getSensorList() {

// 获取传感器管理器

SensorManager sensorManager = (SensorManager) getSystemService(Context.SENSOR_SERVICE);

// 获取全部传感器列表

List sensors = sensorManager.getSensorList(Sensor.TYPE_ALL);

// 打印每个传感器信息

StringBuilder strLog = new StringBuilder();

int iIndex = 1;

for (Sensor item : sensors) {

strLog.append(iIndex + ".");

strLog.append("Sensor Type - " + item.getType() + "\r\n");

strLog.append("Sensor Name - " + item.getName() + "\r\n");

strLog.append("Sensor Version - " + item.getVersion() + "\r\n");

strLog.append("Sensor Vendor - " + item.getVendor() + "\r\n");

strLog.append("Maximum Range - " + item.getMaximumRange() + "\r\n");

strLog.append("Minimum Delay - " + item.getMinDelay() + "\r\n");

strLog.append("Power - " + item.getPower() + "\r\n");

strLog.append("Resolution - " + item.getResolution() + "\r\n");

strLog.append("\r\n");

iIndex++;

}

System.out.println(strLog.toString());

}

@Override

public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {

// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.

getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.activity_main, menu);

return true;

}

}
