Hi cullona, I know about that class, but don't see anything that could be actually useful in it (I really don't need to know if the device is plugged in etc).
Hi Dianne, I know the general rules, but right know I would like to distinguish between some of the methods I have developed to achieve my goals. I'm doing a bit of a research on Android phone and right now I have 4 methods to achieve one of my research goals, I know more or less how precise each one is and even which one consumes more battery, but I don't know the precise consumption numbers. Let's say the best method consumes 100%, if the second method consumes only 25% and achieves 80% accuracy, it's better to use that one etc. I'm looking at the dump right now and it seems kinda hard to get overall picture from it, but I might try and see. Thanks for your replies.
