Summary

In this chapter, you learned about the fundamentals of the accelerometer. In the first demo, you captured the accelerometer data and displayed it by updating UI elements on the currently executing UI thread. In the second demo, you moved a ball on the phone screen by using captured accelerometer data to calculate its speed and position.

In Chapter 7, you will create an application bar to display shortcuts for the most commonly used tasks in the application and design it to be a compelling application.
