Wish: ACTION_POWER_CONNECTED and ACTION_POWER_DISCONNECTED

[corwin42]

Hi Erel,

can you please add ACTION_POWER_CONNECTED and ACTION_POWER_DISCONNECTED events to PhoneEvents object?

Thank you very much.

The BatteryChanged event should be raised in those cases. The Plugged boolean value tells you whether power is connected.

Yes, I know. The problem is that BatteryChangedEvent is fired quite often and I think the device does not go to sleep mode if I receive the event continiously?

From Developer Docs:

Unlike ACTION_BATTERY_CHANGED, applications will be woken for this and so do not have to stay active to receive this notification.

I think this is more battery friendly.

The device will go to sleep when you catch the BatteryChanged event. The difference is that your device will not be woken up by the BatteryChanged event.
