Enumerations

AThermalStatus

 AThermalStatus

Thermal status used in function AThermal_getCurrentThermalStatus and AThermal_StatusCallback.

Properties
ATHERMAL_STATUS_CRITICAL

Platform has done everything to reduce power.

ATHERMAL_STATUS_EMERGENCY

Key components in platform are shutting down due to thermal condition.

Device functionalities will be limited.

ATHERMAL_STATUS_ERROR

Error in thermal status.

ATHERMAL_STATUS_LIGHT

Light throttling where UX is not impacted.

ATHERMAL_STATUS_MODERATE

Moderate throttling where UX is not largely impacted.

ATHERMAL_STATUS_NONE

Not under throttling.

ATHERMAL_STATUS_SEVERE

Severe throttling where UX is largely impacted.

ATHERMAL_STATUS_SHUTDOWN

Need shutdown immediately.

Typedefs

AThermalManager

struct AThermalManager AThermalManager

An opaque type representing a handle to a thermal manager.

An instance of thermal manager must be acquired prior to using thermal status APIs and must be released after use.

To use:

AThermal_StatusCallback

void(* AThermal_StatusCallback)(void *data, AThermalStatus status)

Prototype of the function that is called when thermal status changes.

It's passed the updated thermal status as parameter, as well as the pointer provided by the client that registered a callback.

Functions

AThermal_acquireManager

AThermalManager * AThermal_acquireManager()

Acquire an instance of the thermal manager.

This must be freed using AThermal_releaseManager.

Available since API level 30.

Details
Returns
manager instance on success, nullptr on failure.

AThermal_getCurrentThermalStatus

AThermalStatus AThermal_getCurrentThermalStatus(
  AThermalManager *manager
)

Gets the current thermal status.

Available since API level 30.

Details
Parameters
manager
The manager instance to use to query the thermal status. Acquired via AThermal_acquireManager.
Returns
current thermal status, ATHERMAL_STATUS_ERROR on failure.

AThermal_getThermalHeadroom

float AThermal_getThermalHeadroom(
  AThermalManager *manager,
  int forecastSeconds
)

Provides an estimate of how much thermal headroom the device currently has before hitting severe throttling.

Note that this only attempts to track the headroom of slow-moving sensors, such as the skin temperature sensor. This means that there is no benefit to calling this function more frequently than about once per second, and attempted to call significantly more frequently may result in the function returning

NaN 
.

In addition, in order to be able to provide an accurate forecast, the system does not attempt to forecast until it has multiple temperature samples from which to extrapolate. This should only take a few seconds from the time of the first call, but during this time, no forecasting will occur, and the current headroom will be returned regardless of the value of

forecastSeconds 
.

The value returned is a non-negative float that represents how much of the thermal envelope is in use (or is forecasted to be in use). A value of 1.0 indicates that the device is (or will be) throttled at ATHERMAL_STATUS_SEVERE. Such throttling can affect the CPU, GPU, and other subsystems. Values may exceed 1.0, but there is no implied mapping to specific thermal levels beyond that point. This means that values greater than 1.0 may correspond to ATHERMAL_STATUS_SEVERE, but may also represent heavier throttling.

A value of 0.0 corresponds to a fixed distance from 1.0, but does not correspond to any particular thermal status or temperature. Values on (0.0, 1.0] may be expected to scale linearly with temperature, though temperature changes over time are typically not linear. Negative values will be clamped to 0.0 before returning.

Available since API level 31.

Details
Parameters
manager
The manager instance to use. Acquired via AThermal_acquireManager.
forecastSeconds
how many seconds into the future to forecast. Given that device conditions may change at any time, forecasts from further in the future will likely be less accurate than forecasts in the near future.
Returns
a value greater than equal to 0.0, where 1.0 indicates the SEVERE throttling threshold, as described above. Returns NaN if the device does not support this functionality or if this function is called significantly faster than once per second.

AThermal_registerThermalStatusListener

int AThermal_registerThermalStatusListener(
  AThermalManager *manager,
  AThermal_StatusCallback callback,
  void *data
)

Register the thermal status listener for thermal status change.

Available since API level 30.

Details
Parameters
manager
The manager instance to use to register. Acquired via AThermal_acquireManager.
callback
The callback function to be called when thermal status updated.
data
The data pointer to be passed when callback is called.
Returns
0 on success EINVAL if the listener and data pointer were previously added and not removed. EPERM if the required permission is not held. EPIPE if communication with the system service has failed.

AThermal_releaseManager

void AThermal_releaseManager(
  AThermalManager *manager
)

Release the thermal manager pointer acquired via AThermal_acquireManager.

Available since API level 30.

Details
Parameters
manager
The manager to be released.

AThermal_unregisterThermalStatusListener

int AThermal_unregisterThermalStatusListener(
  AThermalManager *manager,
  AThermal_StatusCallback callback,
  void *data
)

Unregister the thermal status listener previously resgistered.

Available since API level 30.

Details
Parameters
manager
The manager instance to use to unregister. Acquired via AThermal_acquireManager.
callback
The callback function to be called when thermal status updated.
data
The data pointer to be passed when callback is called.
Returns
0 on success EINVAL if the listener and data pointer were not previously added. EPERM if the required permission is not held. EPIPE if communication with the system service has failed.
