+ \title Sensors QML Plugin
+
+ \brief A QML plugin for the QtMobility Project Sensors API.
+
+ \section1 Overview
+
+ The QML Sensors Plugin provides an easy to use interface to the Sensors API.
+ It enables us to receive sensor events and to read current values from
+ sensors.
+
+ The plugin contains many sensor types and access functions to read values
+ from them. As an example consider the orientation sensor. The orientation
+ example simply displays text on-screen to show the current orientation.
+
+ The QML code that reads the value is quite simple. Here we see a QML component
+ \e orientation declared which is an \l OrientationSensor element. First
+ the sensor is started by setting the \l {Sensor::active}{active} property
+ to \e true. The element receives a signal when the reading changes and it
+ is picked up by the \e onReadingChanged slot. Now the
+ \l {OrientationSensor::reading}{reading} property of this element can be
+ used to extract the current orientation so that it can be compared against
+ the defined values of various orientations in the \l OrientationReading
+ element.
+
+ \qml
+ OrientationSensor {
+ id: orientation
+ active: true
+
+ onReadingChanged: {
+
+ if (reading.orientation == OrientationReading.FaceUp)
+ content.state = "FaceUp";
+
+ // ... more tests for different orientations ...
+ }
+ }
+
+ \endqml
+
+ Other sensors can be treated in a similar manner. For example, the \l Compass
+ sensor could have almost identical coding
+
+ \qml
+ Compass {
+ id: compass
+ active: true
+
+ onReadingChanged: {
+ compassHeading.text = reading.azimuth;
+
+ // ...
+ }
+ }
+ \endqml
