How do you get the accelerometer data? Surely if you have enough privilege to get that, you could just get input data directly?

Otherwise on Android apps would need to request accessibility feature access to be able to monitor keyboard input into other apps (and there is an explicit warning), or, which is most common, request an overlay permission and start a "phishing overlay" if a targeted app is started by the user.
