[android-beginners] Re: Battery Usage Indicator API - JDK 1.6
Dude, they do not expose all battery values to you. They have service written in C that reads this battery values and sends them back to actual BatteryStatsService. Try reading linux' virtual system to get values you want.

While continuing on my research: I am currently stuck at trying to find out which class actually modifies the values of android.os.BatteryManager (BatteryManager.java) Any ideas ? -Sagar Hatekar --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Beginners" group.

Mark!! Thanks a ton!! I found the souce code, built it and just saw the BatteryStatsService.java in which the comment reads "All information we are collecting about things that can happen that impact * battery life." - exactly what I was looking for. Thanks once again. Now, my actual development work starts! Sagar Hatekar On Oct 5, 4:52 pm, "Mark Murphy" wrote: > > I searched the entire API... couldn't find BatteryStats. > > It's not in the API.

You will find this stuff in the source code. http://source.android.com, or Google Code Search.

I searched the entire API... couldn't find BatteryStats. Also, when I run the emulator, I went to Settings ->About Phone- >Battery Usage That's exactly what I was looking for but sadly it comes with the OS. Any idea where could I get help to reach that application? I suppose, this IS the official Android forum. So, I hope to get some help from the people who built that application.

Okay :( Any idea if how it shows the information. I was working on writing a similar application even before SDK 1.6 came out. API would have made my job easier. If there is no API, I would have to dig 1 layer deep and access the linux kernel which can show the processor info based on each Process ID. The tough part would be travelling to the kernel and back.

[android-beginners] Re: Battery Usage Indicator API - JDK 1.6
Mark: Exactly, I meant the Battery Usage Indicator. Is that an application that's offered by default on the handset or it's an App. If it's an App, it should have an API. I am doing an academic project and I am really interested in getting in to the API for this. I am working on a Polyglot-based project (compilers to extend java and java-based languages). So, once I get an API for this, I would be extending it to optimize the battery usage. Thanks. Sagar Hatekar Comp. Sci.

Balwinder: Yup, I meant the Android SDK 1.6. The features for the SDK 1.6 lists an application-wise battery status. That's what I need an API for.
