How to determine if an Android device has an Accelerometer?

I want to check if an Android device has an accelerometer or not so that I can put a toast message saying that the game won't work properly on the current device if there isn't an accelerometer. I am looking for something like this:

if(DEVICE_HAS_ACCELEROMETER == false){
Toast.makeText(context,"No Accelerometer Found.",Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}

If you can fill in the DEVICE_HAS_ACCELEROMETER part, that would do the job.

PS: I am not in an activity.

You can also check it via PackageManger in one line.

boolean isAccSupported = getPackageManager().hasSystemFeature(PackageManager.FEATURE_SENSOR_ACCELEROMETER);

SensorManager sManager;
acce = sManager.registerListener(this,sManager.getDefaultSensor(Sensor.TYPE_ACCELEROMETER);

if(acce) 
{

SensorManager sensorManager = (SensorManager) context.getSystemService(Context.SENSOR_SERVICE);
Sensor accelerometerSensor = sensorManager.getDefaultSensor(Sensor.TYPE_ACCELEROMETER);
if (accelerometerSensor != null)
{
    // Device has Accelerometer
}

Do something like the following ,

SensorManager sensorManager = (SensorManager) getSystemService(SENSOR_SERVICE);
List<Sensor> s=sensorManager.getSensorList(Sensor.TYPE_ALL);
 for (int i=0;i<s.size();i++)
   {
        Sensor tmp = s.get(i);
        if (tmp.getType() == Sensor.TYPE_ACCELEROMETER)
        DEVICE_HAS_ACCELEROMETER=true;
         else
        DEVICE_HAS_ACCELEROMETER=false;

 }

This will work:

 SensorManager Sensors = (SensorManager)getSystemService(SENSOR_SERVICE);
 Sensor mAccelerometer = Sensors.getDefaultSensor(Sensor.TYPE_ACCELEROMETER);

mAccelerometer will have the accelerometre val.

From here.

boolean accelerometer;

accelerometer = sensorMgr.registerListener(this,sensorMgr.getDefaultSensor(Sensor.TYPE_ACCELEROMETER);

if(accelerometer) 
{
