Android Orientation Woes

[Dan Friedman]

Colin,

Here's what I am doing.  It works PERFECTLY on iOS.  On Android (Galaxy Tab 2), x is a out there number!

global currentAccel

on accelerationChanged x, y, z
  put round(x*10) into currentAccel
end accelerationChanged	

on doSetCar
  put the left of btn "car" + (currentAccel*abs(currentAccel)) into nLeft
  if nLeft < (the left of grp "theBGGroup") then
    put (the left of grp "theBGGroup") into nLeft
  else if nLeft + (the width of btn "car") > the right of grp "theBGGroup" then
    put (the right of grp "theBGGroup")-(the width of btn "car") into nLeft
  end if
  
  set the left of btn "car" to nLeft
  
  send "doSetCar" to me in 1 tick
end doSetCar
