Notification for change in battery level

[venunet]

Hi,

I am coding an application that keeps track of the battery level (KHWRMBatteryLevel) and logs every event for the change in the battery level using P&S API.

The problem is... the application is getting notified when the battery level goes down(e.g from 5 to 4). But when the charger is plugged in and the battery level increases(e.g. from 4 to 5), there is no notification(i.e. no logs). Interestingly, the app gets notification immediately after the charger is disconnected.

How to get notification while charging?
Kindly clarify.

The code is as follows:
---------------------------------------------------------
RProperty batProp;
TInt batLevel;
batProp.Attach(KPSUidHWRMPowerState, KHWRMBatteryLevel, batLevel);
batProp.Get(batLevel);
batProp.Subscribe(myStatus);
...
...

//The intention is to capture and log every "battery level change" event.
void MyClass::RunL()
{
batProp.Get(batLevel);
WRITELOG("battery level changed: %d", batLevel);
batProp.Subscribe(myStatus); // resubscribe
}
------------------

Logs:

battery level changed: 3
//after a while
battery level changed: 2
//after a while
battery level changed: 1

//charger plugged in

// no notification for a long time when the battery is charging and the level is actually increasing...

//once the charger is disconnected
battery level changed: 4

hi,all

I encounter the same issue when I try to get notify when the phone is in charging status.

except that the discriptions of venunet's post.

I found I can get the notify when the phone is in Full Power status although connecting the charger.

it also say that we only can get the notify when the phone need to get the battery level to display the level bars in screen.

I tried to resovle it with RProperty, NotifyChange, RTimer(every interval to get the RProperty), but all are failed.

So I guess that the server do not complete your request to run your RunL function, neither change the battery level(it maybe the reason why I get the same value with the Rtimer)if phone is in charging status except of Full status.

hello,

u can use CTelephony apis to get Battery Level and notification changed
// iTelephony = CTelephony::NewL();
//CTelephony::TBatteryInfoV1Pckg iBatteryInfoV1Pckg;
//CTelephony::TBatteryInfoV1 iBatteryInfoV1;

//implement one function
if(iTelephony && !IsActive())
{
iGettingBattery = ETrue;
iTelephony->GetBatteryInfo(iStatus, iBatteryInfoV1Pckg);
SetActive();
}


///In RunL()
//iObserver---implements observer class
iObserver.BatteryLevelL(iBatteryInfoV1.iChargeLevel,iBatteryInfoV1.iStatus);
if(iStatus != KErrCancel)
{
iTelephony->NotifyChange(iStatus,CTelephony::EBatteryInfoChange,
iBatteryInfoV1Pckg);
SetActive();
}
iGettingBattery = EFalse;

//in Docancel
if(iGettingBattery)
iTelephony->CancelAsync(CTelephony::EGetBatteryInfoCancel);
else
iTelephony->CancelAsync(CTelephony::EBatteryInfoChangeCancel);


IN BatteryLevelL() function of the observer class you will get the Battery level........

Yes, I try to use this mothod to get the notification for battery level change in charging status. but failed.

I can not get the notify for level upgrate when in charging status. but can get the level going down change.

my english is not very well, so i think you maybe not understand my means.

the code as following:
//a function will be run when new a instance
{
iTelephony->GetBatteryInfo(iStatus, iBatteryInfoV1Pckg);
SetActive();
}


///In RunL()
if(iStatus != KErrCancel)
{
iTelephony->NotifyChange(iStatus,CTelephony::EBatteryInfoChange,
iBatteryInfoV1Pckg);
int result = iBatteryInfoV1Pckg.iChargeLevel;
//the value of result is my wanted result

SetActive();
}
