The proximity sensor might be present on a device, but never fire due to some hw bug or something. The only real way you'll know is if you get some change in the sensor. > Similar to device orientation, motion, I do not want to have any "is device present" predicate in the API. If someone wants to build something through System API that allows you to query for device sensors - that's what I'd do. Ok, can live with that. I guess it's easy to add later once there is some implementation experience and if more devs ask for it. -- Marcos Caceres http://datadriven.com.au
