AndEngine gravity doesn't work

Hello everybody I'm trying to make a sprite fall in my game. I searched all over the web and I did this:

    scene = new Scene();

    main = new Sprite(sX, sY, mainTextureRegion);
    main.setScale(1);
    main.setFlippedHorizontal(true);
    scene.attachChild(main);
    mPhysicsWorld = new PhysicsWorld(new Vector2(0, SensorManager.GRAVITY_EARTH), false);
    final FixtureDef objectFixtureDef = PhysicsFactory.createFixtureDef(1, 0.5f, 0.5f);
    final Body body = PhysicsFactory.createBoxBody(mPhysicsWorld, main, BodyType.DynamicBody, objectFixtureDef);
    mPhysicsWorld.registerPhysicsConnector(new PhysicsConnector(main, body, true, true));
    final Vector2 gravity = new Vector2(0, 5f);
    mPhysicsWorld.setGravity(gravity);


    scene.registerUpdateHandler(new IUpdateHandler() {
        @Override
        public void onUpdate(float pSecondsElapsed) {
            mPhysicsWorld.onUpdate(pSecondsElapsed);
        }

        @Override
        public void reset() {}
    });

But the when i launch the game the sprite doesn't fall !! Why ?? Please I'm desperate !!

Sprite doesn't use physics, but body does. You should use Physics connector (which is connecting your sprite with your body):

Set the body variable:

Body yourBody = PhysicsFactory.createBoxBody(mPhysicsWorld, main, BodyType.DynamicBody, objectFixtureDef);

and then use this physics connector:

mPhysicsWorld.registerPhysicsConnector(new PhysicsConnector(main, yourBody, true, true));

Sorry for my English.
