How to get real time battery level on iOS with a 1% granularity

Question

I\'m using this function to get current battery level of device:

[[UIDevice currentDevice] setBatteryMonitoringEnabled:YES];
UIDevice *myDevice = [UIDevice c         


        

Answer 1

If you are using swift 5.1 or greater this code will definitely work for you.

Step 1:- To get started, first enable the isBatteryMonitoringEnabled property of the current device, like this:-

UIDevice.current.isBatteryMonitoringEnabled = true

Step 2:- You can now read the current battery level

let level = UIDevice.current.batteryLevel
print(level)

Answer 2

UIDevice *myDevice = [UIDevice currentDevice];    
[myDevice setBatteryMonitoringEnabled:YES];

double batLeft = (float)[myDevice batteryLevel] * 100;
NSLog(@"%.f", batLeft);    

NSString * levelLabel = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%.f%%", batLeft];    
lblLevel.text = levelLabel;

Answer 3

The answers above are very good, but they are all in Obj-C, I have used these with other examples to do the same task on MonoTouch, so I am putting my code here in case anybody needs it:

try
{
    UIDevice.CurrentDevice.BatteryMonitoringEnabled = true;
    _Battery.Level = (int)(UIDevice.CurrentDevice.BatteryLevel * IOSBatteryLevelScalingFactor);
    _Battery.State = UIDevice.CurrentDevice.BatteryState;
}
catch (Exception e)
{
    ExceptionHandler.HandleException(e, "BatteryState.Update");
    throw new BatteryUpdateException();
}
finally
{
    UIDevice.CurrentDevice.BatteryMonitoringEnabled = false;
}

Answer 4

Swift version to get the battery level:

UIDevice.current.isBatteryMonitoringEnabled = true
let batteryLevel = UIDevice.current.batteryLevel 

batteryLevel return 0,39; 0,40 values for me.

Answer 6

There are at least four different ways to read the battery level, and all four ways may return different values.

Here is a chart of these values through time.

The values were recorded with this iOS project: https://github.com/nst/BatteryChart
