Android Question Phone altitude

Hello:

Is it possible to get information from the phone?
"How high is the phone off the floor,table chair etc."

Thank you:

Yes, check the GPS library.

Are you asking about altitude or asking about it working out the distance from an object?

altitude: distance phone to floor.

The phone doesn't "know" this value. There isn't any sensor in a standard phone that measures distances. The proximity sensor is only useful to test if there is something very close facing the phone.

If you figure out a way to do this please let us know. This would be very interesting and fun. I can think of many possibilities....
