battery

I am developing an app for which I need to monitor the remaining battery percentage from a service. Can anybody tell me how to do it? I found some sample codes that are getting the battery status from an activity, not from service. Thanks. Use ACTION_BATTERY_CHANGED. It is called every time the battery value changes. See the code below to see how it is done: public void onCreate() { this.registerReceiver(this.mBatInfoReceiver, new IntentFilter(Intent.ACTION_BATTERY_CHANGED)); } private BroadcastReceiver mBatInfoReceiver = new BroadcastReceiver(){ @Override public void onReceive(Context arg0,

I am attempting to read the state of the Android battery when my repeating alarm broadcaster is called I have the following setup: public class RepeatingAlarm extends BroadcastReceiver { @Override public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) { // Acquire the make of the device final String PhoneModel = android.os.Build.MODEL; final String AndroidVersion = android.os.Build.VERSION.RELEASE; // Grab the battery information int level = intent.getIntExtra(BatteryManager.EXTRA_LEVEL, -1); int scale = intent.getIntExtra(BatteryManager.EXTRA_SCALE, -1); final float batteryPct = level / (float

if i want to develop own my iBeacon services in Android or IOS, it has to be practical. which means customer can use my services without shortage of battery. i think even if iBeacon technology is based on Bluetooth Low Energy, it could be still lack of battery. that's because an application must be running to scan iBeacon device all the time. As i know, iOS has its own solution for battery issue. when an IOS application detect iBeacon devices, it is running in the background and IOS(not app) is scanning specific UUIDs by itself, not the all UUIDs nearby. this is how they save energy. am i

I wanted to know that how can we find how much time android device will take to fully charge its battery. For example if my battery is 0% charged then how long it will take to charge full i.e. 100%, same if my device is 70% charge so if i connect charger now then how long it will take to full charge my device. You should read the official documentation about this. Basically you'll need to use BatteryManager class to find out current state of battery level. This worked for me: private void batteryLevel() { BroadcastReceiver batteryLevelReceiver = new BroadcastReceiver() { public void onReceive

I want to run a specific task in the background. This task takes few seconds to complete (it writes some GPS location data to a file). This task should run once every 1 hour. As I understand from the SDK, I do not have a way to INITIATE something in the background unless I run Location Services forever. When this service runs, it gives me an event from time to time, and I'm able to run my code during these calls. I tried it, and even with the minimal precision possible, my battery goes down very quickly. So, I'm looking for a way to run Location Services for few seconds every hour. All the
