Hi Dianne, Yi Sun, What I want to do is to get the battery status at any time, for example, I have a button on the screen, any time I click it, I can view the battery status. of course, there maybe more functions beyond this.
Yi Sun, First of all, thanks a lot. I used adb shell to check the /sys directory, but there is not a power_supply sub directory. Is it because I am using an emulator but not real phone? Could provide any snippets of poll the battery status? Thanks.
