step1:新建一个项目Compass,并将一张指南针图片导入到res/drawable-hdpi目录中

step2:设计应用的UI界面,main.xml

android:orientation="vertical"

android:layout_width="fill_parent"

android:layout_height="fill_parent"

android:gravity="center"

>

android:layout_width="wrap_content"

android:layout_height="wrap_content"

android:src="@drawable/compass"

android:id="@+id/imageView"

/>

step3：MainActivity.java

manager.registerListener(listener, sensor,

super.onResume();

}

@Override

manager.unregisterListener(listener);

super.onPause();
