Move the phone and detect the distance traveled

Hey there:v: my phone is on a flat surface, laying with the screen on top, and when I move it I would like to detect the distance traveled in whatever units metric you want, it’s the same. Can I do this? How? Maybe combining some android sensors(?) I don’t know… Thanks:slightly_smiling_face:

this sounds like you try to detect very small distances like some centimeters inside of a building?
see for example this Stackoverflow answer

for large distances outside you could use the location sensor and GPS…

I’m quite sure that the second answer in the link you gave me could work, but how can I calculate a double-integral in Kodular? Can I use your math extension? If yes, could you give me an example of syntax? :sweat_smile:

what about doing some more research yourself?
