问题
I'm trying to build a Java app that reads the status of a laptop battery and sends a notification to the user if it's low. In order to do this, I'm using jna with Kernel32 native library as explained in the first answer of this question: How to get the remaining battery life in a Windows system?
Running the example, the program yields this output:
ACLineStatus: Offline
Battery Flag: High, more than 66 percent
Battery Life: Unknown
Battery Left: 0 seconds
Battery Full: 10832 seconds
The fields battery life and battery left are read in Kernel32 BatteryLifePercent and BatteryLifeTime values which are 255 (Unknown) and 0 (I don't get this value. Unknown would be -1 according to Microsoft documentation here: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa373232(v=vs.85).aspx).
My question is: why am I getting these values back? The Windows battery tray icon displays the correct percentage, so why I can't get that data from here?
I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate Edition 64-bit.
Thank you.
回答1:
The code from the linked answer was wrong (edit: now it is fixed).
The fields are ordered in the wrong way, change getFieldOrder method with
@Override
protected List<String> getFieldOrder()
{
ArrayList<String> fields = new ArrayList<String>();
fields.add("ACLineStatus");
fields.add("BatteryFlag");
fields.add("BatteryLifePercent");
fields.add("Reserved1");
fields.add("BatteryLifeTime");
fields.add("BatteryFullLifeTime");
return fields;
}
Also add this constructor that specify the correct alignment
public SYSTEM_POWER_STATUS()
{
setAlignType(ALIGN_MSVC);
}
The alignment could also be ALIGN_NONE as Microsoft usually take care to explicitly align data with reserved fields.
It could also be ALIGN_DEFAULT since, as far as I know, Windows is compiled with Microsoft compiler, and it aligns data on their the natural boundaries.
In other words the structure is naturally aligned by design, so it requires no specific alignment constraints.
This is the output, on my system, from the original code
ACLineStatus: Offline
Battery Flag: High, more than 66 percent
Battery Life: Unknown
Battery Left: 0 seconds
Battery Full: 12434 seconds
This is the output with the corrected code
ACLineStatus: Offline
Battery Flag: High, more than 66 percent
Battery Life: 95%
Battery Left: 12434 seconds
Battery Full: Unknown
On why this happens
Considering the output above, we can reconstruct how the structure SYSTEM_POWER_STATUS is filled in memory.
00 08 5f 00 96 30 00 00 ff ff ff ff
¯¯ ¯¯ ¯¯ ¯¯ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
| | | | | |
| | | | BatteryLifeTime |
| | | Reserved1 |
| | | BatteryFullLifeTime
| | BatteryLifePercent
| |
| BatteryFlags
|
AcLineStatus
According to the fields order of the original code, this is how the fields get initialized
00 08 5f 00 96 30 00 00 ff ff ff ff 00 00 00 00
¯¯ ¯¯ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ ¯¯ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
| | | | |
| BatteryFlags | BatteryLifePercent |
| | |
AcLineStatus | BatteryLifeTime
BatteryFullLifeTime
The gaps are due to the default alignment that align data on their natural boundaries.
Since the fields have been reordered they are no longer in their original positions and continuous.
On why BatteryFullLifeTime is Unknown
If you disassemble the function GetSystemPowerStatus for Win7 64 bit (you can find my disassembly here) and rewrite an equivalent C program you got something like this
BOOL WINAPI GetSystemPowerStatus(
_Out_ LPSYSTEM_POWER_STATUS lpSystemPowerStatus
)
{
SYSTEM_BATTERY_STATE battery_state;
//Get power information
NTStatus pi_status = NtPowerInformation(SystemBatteryState, NULL, 0, &battery_state, sizeof(battery_state));
//Check success
if (!NTSuccess(pi_status))
{
BaseSetLastNtError(pi_status);
return FALSE;
}
//Zero out the input structure
memset(lpSystemPowerStatus, sizeof(lpSystemPowerStatus), 0);
//Set AC line status
lpSystemPowerStatus->ACLineStatus = battery_state.BatteryPresent && battery_state.AcOnLine ? 1 : 0;
//Set flags
lpSystemPowerStatus->BatteryFlags |= (battery_state.Charging ? 8 : 0)
| (battery_state.BatteryPresent ? 0 : 0x80);
//Set battery life time percent
lpSystemPowerStatus->BatteryLifePercent = 0xff;
if (battery_state.MaxCapacity)
{
lpSystemPowerStatus->BatteryLifePercent = battery_state.RemainingCapacity > battery_state.MaxCapacity
? 100
: (battery_state.RemainingCapacity*100 + battery_state.MaxCapacity/2)/battery_state.MaxCapacity;
lpSystemPowerStatus->BatteryFlags |= (lpSystemPowerStatus->BatteryLifePercent > 66 ? 1 : 0)
| (lpSystemPowerStatus->BatteryLifePercent < 33 ? 2 : 0);
}
//Set battery life time and full life time
lpSystemPowerStatus->BatteryLifeTime = lpSystemPowerStatus->BatteryFullLifeTime = -1;
if (battery_state.EstimatedTime)
lpSystemPowerStatus->BatteryLifeTime = battery_state.EstimatedTime;
}
Which show that BatterFullLifeTime is never copied from the SYSTEM_BATTERY_STATE structure. It is always -1.
Also the flag with value 4 (Critical battery level) is never set.
In newer version of Windows these may have probably been fixed.
A newer version
You can call CallNtPowerInformation in PowrProf.dll to obtain more reliable information on the battery status.
If you are unfamiliar with accessing the Win APIs, here a JNA class that do the work for you

N.B. When plugging and unplugging the power cable to test, wait some sec as the monitoring is not in real time.
