<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"  
   xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"

   android:paddingLeft="64dp"  
   android:paddingRight="64dp"  
   android:paddingTop="64dp"  
   android:paddingBottom="64dp"  
   tools:context="com.targetandroid.info.sensorlist.MainActivity">  
   <ListView  
     android:layout_width="match_parent"  
     android:layout_height="wrap_content"  
     android:id="@+id/lvsensors">  
   </ListView>  
 </RelativeLayout>  

3. Now Open Your MainActivity.java

   SensorManager lets you access the device sensors

   Add Below Code In File

package com.targetandroid.info.sensorlist;  

 import android.hardware.Sensor;  
 import android.hardware.SensorManager;  
 import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;  
 import android.os.Bundle;  
 import android.view.Menu;  
 import android.view.MenuItem;  
 import android.widget.ArrayAdapter;  
 import android.widget.ListView;  
 import java.util.ArrayList;  
 import java.util.List;  

 public class SensorsActivity extends AppCompatActivity {  
   //Creating Variable  
   ListView lvsensors;  
   SensorManager mSensorManager;  

   @Override  
   protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {  
     super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);  
     setContentView(R.layout.activity_main); 
 
     lvsensors=(ListView)findViewById(R.id.lvsensors);  
     mSensorManager=(SensorManager)getSystemService(SENSOR_SERVICE);  

     //Getting the list of all sensors supported by device  
     List<Sensor> sList=mSensorManager.getSensorList(Sensor.TYPE_ALL); 
 
     List<String> namelist= new ArrayList<>(); 
 
     //put all the name of sensors into new List<String>  
     for(int i=0; i<sList.size();i++){  
       namelist.add(sList.get(i).getName());  
     }  

     ArrayAdapter listadapter=new ArrayAdapter(this, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1,namelist);  
     lvsensors.setAdapter(listadapter);  
   }  
 }
