Constants

ACTION_CHARGING

Added in API level 23
String ACTION_CHARGING

Sent when the device's battery has started charging (or has reached full charge and the device is on power). This is a good time to do work that you would like to avoid doing while on battery (that is to avoid draining the user's battery due to things they don't care enough about). This is paired with ACTION_DISCHARGING. The current state can always be retrieved with isCharging().

Constant Value: "android.os.action.CHARGING"

ACTION_DISCHARGING

Public methods

getIntProperty

Added in API level 21
int getIntProperty (int id)

Return the value of a battery property of integer type. If the platform does not provide the property queried, this value will be Integer.MIN_VALUE.

Parameters
id int: identifier of the requested property
Returns
int the property value, or Integer.MIN_VALUE if not supported.

getLongProperty

Added in API level 21
long getLongProperty (int id)

Return the value of a battery property of long type If the platform does not provide the property queried, this value will be Long.MIN_VALUE.

Parameters
id int: identifier of the requested property
Returns
long the property value, or Long.MIN_VALUE if not supported.

isCharging

boolean isCharging ()

Return true if the battery is currently considered to be charging. This means that the device is plugged in and is supplying sufficient power that the battery level is going up (or the battery is fully charged).
