What is the effect of reading on the accelerometer on the battery?

Question

I am planning an application that will read data from the accelerometer 24/7 and wants to know if it has a huge impact on the battery life of the device (for example, GPS)?

For those who have done something similar - any understanding?

Thanks.

(FYI: I don’t have an Android device yet, so I can’t do my own testing)

Answer 1

getPower ()

power in mA used by this sensor when used

So, check it out yourself and let us know how it works.
