hi,

I am working in app in which i have to push screen when device is charging . Now device can be charged by adapter or usb cable . i have to show screen in both cases. i have done this by implementing SystemListener interface & checking status in batteryStatusChange method. here is my code :-

private boolean _status;
public void batteryStatusChange(int status) {


if(status==DeviceInfo.BSTAT_IS_USING_EXTERNAL_POWE R||status==DeviceInfo.BSTAT_CHARGING||status==Devi ceInfo.BSTAT_AC_CONTACTS){
_status=true;
}
if(_status==true){
do some thing...
}
}

It detects device is charging by usb cable or adapter & works fine for bold os 6.0 but it doesnt detect device is charging or not in bold os 5.0.

Any one knows why this code doesnt work for bold os 5.0?

From the API documentation for SystemListener.batteryStatusChange(int status):
status - A combination of the BSTAT_xxx masks from DeviceInfo.

Status may contain status bits from more than one status. Your tests will not work in such cases.

So, how i can i test in this case . i have checked against all BSTAT_xxx masks related to charging mode.

[msdevaf]

in os 6.0 i am testing like this:
if(status==DeviceInfo.BSTAT_IS_USING_EXTERNAL_POWE )

& above condition gives true in bold os 6.0 but in bold os 5.0 above condition gives false because i m getting status zero in os 6.0

Try something along the lines of:

PHP Code:

if ((status & DeviceInfo.BSTAT_IS_USING_EXTERNAL_POWER) == DeviceInfo.BSTAT_IS_USING_EXTERNAL_POWER) {
    ...
} 


or:

PHP Code:

if ((status & (DeviceInfo.BSTAT_IS_USING_EXTERNAL_POWER | DeviceInfo.BSTAT_CHARGING | Devi ceInfo.BSTAT_AC_CONTACTS)) != 0) {
    ...
} 


Simple boolean algebra.

[msdevaf]

ok i will try this

Do you know how can i check whether device is charging by adapter or by usb cable? i use this statement to check whether device is charging by adapter or not?

if(status==DeviceInfo.BSTAT_IS_USING_EXTERNAL_POWE R)


if device is charging by adapter this condition gives true but when i charge device by usb cable this condiiton also gives true .

How can i differentiate whether device is charging by adapter or usb cable?

SystemListener2.usbConnectionStateChange(int state)

[msdevaf]

as you told to use this
SystemListener2.usbConnectionStateChange(int state)

in this method when i plug usb cable in device it gives state 18 i. i am implementing same class wd System Listener also so it also invokes batteryStatusChange(int status) when i plug usb cable

then hw wll i differentiate?

[hrbuckley]

It will do that because the usb connection state changes and the battery status changed (probably because the USB bus was supplying power). You differentiate by interpreting the values of state in the context of the method that is called.

Hi,

To differentiate between usb & adapter charging i make some changes in code. I figure out that when usb is connected then in this method usbConnectionStateChange(int state) state is 18 but when adapter is connected state is 1
so i did this:

public void usbConnectionStateChange(int state) {

if(state!=1){

do what ever you want to do if device is charging by usb

}
}

if adapter is connected to device this method is invoked but since it get state equals to 1 so it does nothing

if usb is connected to device this method is invoked &it get state not equals to 1 so it executes code inside loop

So, half part of my problem is resolved now but since i have to implement functionality if device is charging by adapter so i have implemented that functionality in public void batteryStatusChange(int status)

This method is invoked & it execute code inside loop when device is connected to adapter
But the problem is when device is connected to usb , this method is invoked & it execute code also inside loop. I have use this

public void batteryStatusChange(int status) {
if(status==DeviceInfo.getBatteryStatus()){

do what ever you want to do if device is charging by adapter

}
}

So, how would i compare status so that it execute only when device is connected to adapter?

There is so much wrong here I don't know where to begin.

1. If you want people to help you with your code, it is only polite to format it in a way that is easy to read.
2. you have no way to be sure that the constant values 18 and 1 will be the same under different OS instances let alone different OS versions. Use the defined symbolic constants from the API
3. once you are properly decoding the status information in a way consistent with the API documentation the way to do what you want should be obvious. It isn't entirely clear to me what you are trying to do so I can't write the code for you.

[msdevaf]

I want that this method batteryStatusChange(int status) must be invoked only when device is connected to adapter but this method is also invoked when device is connected to usb
In both cases this statement returns true:
if(status==DeviceInfo.getBatteryStatus()){

//do what ever you want to do if device is charging by adapter

}
so what code should i write so that this method will execute only when device is connected to adapter ?
