Getting Started:
-
Select an object to measure its height (e.g. a door)
-
Stand before the object and hold the mobile at any convenient height (e.g. at the same level of your shoulders).
-
Note: Be sure to know the height at which you are holding your BlackBerry smartphone when using MeasureMe app. You need to enter this value for the parameter "h" in the Settings page.
-
Note: By default the value of h is 1.5 m.

-
Open MeasureMe app. The first page is the Main page. By default, the Distance radio button is selected. Now point the target sign towards the base of the object (door). The distance from you to the door should be displayed.
-
Now, select the Height radio button and move the target sign from the base to the top of the door.
-
Now, the height of the door should be displayed.

If readings need calibration, click on the Red Region (that displays the Width and the Height), two prompt boxes will open. Then enter the actual height and width.

The Dimensions page could be used also to measure the dimensions of tiny objects (like coin). To measure tiny objects, set the "Use true scale" checkbox by clicking on it.

To change the holding height "h" or to add offset H between you and the base of the object you are measuring (e.g. you want to measure the width of the street while you are standing at the balcony) , go to Settings page ( swipe down from the top of the screen and select Settings), then write the values of h and H

By clicking on the 3rd tab, the Slide Meter page will open. This tool enables you to measure near objects by just sliding from one edge to the other while holding button.
