Question

Is there some kind of prefix for the JavaScript DeviceMotionEvent in the Chrome browser for Android?

Firefox Mobile supports it, but Chrome doesn't (tested on Xperia S and Nexus 4).

Here's the code i use:

if (window.DeviceMotionEvent) {
    window.addEventListener('devicemotion', deviceMotionHandler, false);
} else {
    $( "#divid" ).text( "DeviceMotion NOT supported" );
}

Chrome Version: 29.0.1547.72
Firefox Version: 24.0
Android Version: 4.3 (Nexus 4) and 4.1 (Xperia S)

PS: DeviceOrientationEvent is working well in Chrome and Firefox Mobile

Was it helpful?

Solution

Just found a way to get it to work:

I downloaded the Beta Version of Chrome (30.0.1599.81) for Android. The DeviceMotion event is supported there.
