How to detect whether a car is stopped or running by android app?
Can we use phone sensors to detect car vibrations?

Hi,
Using GPS, you should be able to check if the car moved during a specific time range. Motion sensors aren't a very good way to do this, because a device may move for all kinds of reasons besides the moving car.

Hi,
Maybe you could build an Arduino device into your car, which detects that the power is on. Ask a automobile technician where to connect it. Connect a tablet or laptop to the Arduino en you'll know if the car is working.
Kind regards,

is it possible to detect car vibrations by android device sensors to know whether a car is just standing and is on, to create an alert.

Hi,
Probably not, unless you acquire a special device that is designed to pick up vibrations. Motion sensors in tablets and laptops are not designed for this.
Kind regards,

I guess the "AmISittingInMyCarAndIsItOn" function isn't done yet? Damn you RunRev.
