This is useful, but you do need to modify your code to have your app see the sensor simulation info. This doesn't just pass the accelerometer info to the simulator.

From console/terminal:

adb -s <emulator device> install <app.apk>

res/drawable should have a copy of the mdpi version of the icon (48x48)

Use CTRL-F12 to switch landscape/portrait display on the emulator:

Whenever you are updating the spreadsheet bound to a form, unbind the form before resetting and rebuilding the form, otherwise, you'll get an error.
Even if you remove the form, the binding persists, and unlinking thereafter won't fix the error.
Lesson learned while examining the Conference Spreadsheet sample in the examples above.
Also don't forget to delete the calId project variable (File | Project Properties | Project Properties tab, from within the script editor).
And delete the calendar from Google Calendar (drop down in cal | Calendar Settings - bottom of page - remove/delete).
Delete the form that's created in the google docs folder.
The PDF created will be placed into the google docs space, so delete it when done... but the email sent has a PDF attachment as well as a link to the doc version of the PDF... so the link will be broken if you delete the google doc.
