Access temperature sensor, TYPE_TEMPERATURE and TYPE_AMBIENT_TEMPERATURE.

The temperature sensors (Sensor.TYPE_TEMPERATURE/Sensor.TYPE_AMBIENT_TEMPERATURE) are used to determine temperature of the phone, for internal hardware. They are not available on all device. (It's not available on my HTC One X and HTC Flyer!)

Sensor.TYPE_TEMPERATURE is deprecated, use Sensor.TYPE_AMBIENT_TEMPERATURE instead.

Example:

package com.example.androidsensor;

import android.hardware.Sensor;
import android.hardware.SensorEvent;
import android.hardware.SensorEventListener;
import android.hardware.SensorManager;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.widget.TextView;

public class MainActivity extends Activity {
 
 TextView textTEMPERATURE_available, textTEMPERATURE_reading;
 TextView textAMBIENT_TEMPERATURE_available, textAMBIENT_TEMPERATURE_reading;

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        
        textTEMPERATURE_available 
         = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.TEMPERATURE_available);
        textTEMPERATURE_reading 
         = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.TEMPERATURE_reading);
     textAMBIENT_TEMPERATURE_available 
      = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.AMBIENT_TEMPERATURE_available);
     textAMBIENT_TEMPERATURE_reading 
      = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.AMBIENT_TEMPERATURE_reading);
     
     SensorManager mySensorManager = (SensorManager)getSystemService(SENSOR_SERVICE);
     
     Sensor TemperatureSensor = mySensorManager.getDefaultSensor(Sensor.TYPE_TEMPERATURE);
     if(TemperatureSensor != null){
      textTEMPERATURE_available.setText("Sensor.TYPE_TEMPERATURE Available");
      mySensorManager.registerListener(
        TemperatureSensorListener, 
        TemperatureSensor, 
        SensorManager.SENSOR_DELAY_NORMAL);
      
     }else{
      textTEMPERATURE_available.setText("Sensor.TYPE_TEMPERATURE NOT Available");
     }
     
     Sensor AmbientTemperatureSensor 
      = mySensorManager.getDefaultSensor(Sensor.TYPE_AMBIENT_TEMPERATURE);
     if(AmbientTemperatureSensor != null){
      textAMBIENT_TEMPERATURE_available.setText("Sensor.TYPE_AMBIENT_TEMPERATURE Available");
      mySensorManager.registerListener(
        AmbientTemperatureSensorListener, 
        AmbientTemperatureSensor, 
        SensorManager.SENSOR_DELAY_NORMAL);
     }else{
      textAMBIENT_TEMPERATURE_available.setText("Sensor.TYPE_AMBIENT_TEMPERATURE NOT Available");
     }
    }
    
    private final SensorEventListener TemperatureSensorListener
     = new SensorEventListener(){

   @Override
   public void onAccuracyChanged(Sensor sensor, int accuracy) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    
   }

   @Override
   public void onSensorChanged(SensorEvent event) {
    if(event.sensor.getType() == Sensor.TYPE_TEMPERATURE){
     textTEMPERATURE_reading.setText("TEMPERATURE: " + event.values[0]);
    }
   }
     
    };
    
    private final SensorEventListener AmbientTemperatureSensorListener
     = new SensorEventListener(){

   @Override
   public void onAccuracyChanged(Sensor sensor, int accuracy) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
   
   }

   @Override
   public void onSensorChanged(SensorEvent event) {
    if(event.sensor.getType() == Sensor.TYPE_AMBIENT_TEMPERATURE){
     textAMBIENT_TEMPERATURE_reading.setText("AMBIENT TEMPERATURE: " + event.values[0]);
    }
   }
 
    };

}
