Android gyroscopes examples?

Question

I am sure that this has been asked many times, but are there any examples on the Internet about the development of the Android gyroscope. Because the gyroscope intrigued me, and I think it can do for a good job. I just guess that the Samsung Galaxy S has a gyroscope, right? I hope so. Again, my main need for a tutorial, perhaps even a good tutorial / book on Android programming (not only with respect to the gyroscope). I studied Java only for Android development purposes. I already knew C and a bit of OBJ-C, so learning Java took several weeks. So, one more time, does anyone know any really good tutorials / books for Android development (I found some tutorials on you, but their quality was so terrible that I couldn’t follow) and maybe a good gyroscope tutorial for Android and a list of Android phones with a built-in gyroscope.

Yes, it has accelerometer and compass sensors: http://www.phonearena.com/phones/Samsung-Galaxy-S_id4522

Answer 2

You can check out my simple demo app that not only uses a gyroscope, but also Rotation-Vector and Sensor-Fusions to rotate the cube.

You can take the touch code from there and use it in the application of your choice.
