BatteryChanged event

[JdV]

Hello

Is there a way of reading the current state of the battery (i.e. whether it's charging and how much power is left) without the device having to fire the 'BatteryChanged' event first?

Regards

Joe

P.S. I'm very much a :sign0104:

You can only get the battery state by handling the BatteryChanged event. However this event is special. It will fire immediately after calling Initialize (or InitializeWithPhoneState).

Hi,
is this still true ?
here is my code and nothing happen when I run the app

   ... process global
   Dim PE As PhoneEvents

End Sub


Sub PE1_BatteryChanged (Level As Int, Scale As Int, Plugged As Boolean, Intent As Intent)    
   Log("BatteryChanged: Level = " & Level & ", Scale = " & Scale & ", Plugged = " & Plugged)
End Sub

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)

   PE.Initialize("PE1")
....
end sub

with the help of NJDude I realize that this code is working when not initialize from the activity create sub, if I put this in a service create sub it will run almost immediately, anyone know why it is not working (not running until the battery level change) from service create ?

Are you starting the service?

It does nit work from activity create it works from service create when I start the service from the app. ( button click)

You can put it in Activity_Resume. The activity is considered paused until Activity_Create is finished.
