Public methods

computeChargeTimeRemaining

Added in API level 28
open fun computeChargeTimeRemaining(): Long

Compute an approximation for how much time (in milliseconds) remains until the battery is fully charged. Returns -1 if no time can be computed: either there is not enough current data to make a decision or the battery is currently discharging.

Return
Long how much time is left, in milliseconds, until the battery is fully charged or -1 if the computation fails

getIntProperty

Added in API level 21
open fun getIntProperty(id: Int): Int

Return the value of a battery property of integer type.

Parameters
id Int: identifier of the requested property
Return
Int the property value. If the property is not supported or there is any other error, return (a) 0 if targetSdkVersion < VERSION_CODES.P or (b) Integer.MIN_VALUE if targetSdkVersion >= VERSION_CODES.P.

getLongProperty

Added in API level 21
open fun getLongProperty(id: Int): Long

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
Return
Long the property value, or Long.MIN_VALUE if not supported.

getStringProperty

Added in API level 35
open fun getStringProperty(id: Int): String?

Return the value of a battery property of String type. If the platform does not provide the property queried, this value will be null.

Parameters
id Int: identifier of the requested property.
Return
String? the property value, or null if not supported.

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). Changes in this state are matched by broadcasts of ACTION_CHARGING and ACTION_DISCHARGING.
