Proximity sensor values. Is it possible to view them someware?

#5

Does that mean that the information of sensors is not vueable on B2G in the moment, without developing a new a app for it?

#6

it means: search and read the docs. there are APIs for this.

@Novski i think you are looking for this https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Apps/Fundamentals/gather_and_modify_data/Near_or_far_responding_to_proximity

Thank you kskarthik. All i whanted to know is if it already exists, because i don’t understand how to make a app yet. So that has to wait until i have gained some more skills. :grin:
But i think that could be a good lession for a rainy day.
