Hmmmm - I've just tried reading the acceleration and rotation sensors. I admit to finding the whole business confusing, but it seems to me that the data accompanying the accelerationChanged message represents the static orientation of the device.

At first I thought that the "rotation" and "acceleration" had been swapped - but then I realised it wasn't "rotation" but "rotation rate".

At any rate, the readings I'm getting for acceleration, with my phone lying flat on the desk, have x and y approximately 0, and z at -1. If I bring the phone upright on its short end, y shifts to -1 and z to 0. If instead I bring it upright to lie on its left edge, x goes to -1 and y and z to 0; if I bring it upright on the right edge, x goes to 1, y and z to 0.

These seem perfectly reasonable things to me, i.e. they seem to represent the state of rotation around the various axes; but I don't understand how they relate to acceleration.

Can someone explain this to me?

Many thanks,

Ben
