Accelerometer.GetDefault Method

Definition

Namespace:

Windows.Devices.Sensors

Overloads

GetDefault()	Returns the default accelerometer.
GetDefault(AccelerometerReadingType)	Returns the default accelerometer of a specific type of sensor. The possible accelerometer sensors are defined by AccelerometerReadingType.

GetDefault()

Returns the default accelerometer.

public:
 static Accelerometer ^ GetDefault();

/// [Windows.Foundation.Metadata.Overload("GetDefault")]
 static Accelerometer GetDefault();

[Windows.Foundation.Metadata.Overload("GetDefault")]
public static Accelerometer GetDefault();

function getDefault()

Public Shared Function GetDefault () As Accelerometer

Returns

Accelerometer

The default accelerometer or null if no integrated accelerometers are found.

Attributes

OverloadAttribute

Examples

The following example demonstrates how a UWP app built with XAML and C# used this method to establish a connection to the default accelerometer.

_accelerometer = Accelerometer.GetDefault();

Remarks

This method only returns values for an accelerometer that has been integrated into the computer by the manufacturer. A null value will be returned if the specified sensor is not available in the system.

When a system is in Connected Standby, a call to the GetDefault method will return immediately with a null result.
