I know it's somehow possible to get the CPU's temperature because I downloaded an app that does it in an unrooted device. How is it done?
edit: The application is called A1 CPU Tool. I spent several days searching for an answer.
edit2: Here's the code I tried
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
mSensorManager = (SensorManager)getSystemService(SENSOR_SERVICE);
Sensor TempSensor = mSensorManager.getDefaultSensor(Sensor.TYPE_AMBIENT_TEMPERATURE);
mSensorManager.registerListener(temperatureSensor, TempSensor, SensorManager.SENSOR_DELAY_FASTEST);
}
private SensorEventListener temperatureSensor = new SensorEventListener(){
@Override
public void onAccuracyChanged(Sensor sensor, int accuracy) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
@Override
public void onSensorChanged(SensorEvent event) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
float temp = event.values[0];
Log.i("sensor", "sensor temp = " + temp);
}
};
