Android: Which thread calls .onSensorChanged?
Are we CERTAIN about that?
Yes, though it depends on how you register the listener, and the behavior is not especially well-documented.
There are two registerListener() methods that take a SensorEventListener. One takes a Handler, the other does not. The latter one will use a Handler that is associated with the main application thread. If you wish to have the events delivered to a background thread, use a HandlerThread (which really should be called LooperThread, but they didn't ask me...), create a Handler in it, and use that Handler with registerListener().
