Mike Billau reassigned CB-4519:
-------------------------------

    Assignee: Mike Billau  (was: Filip Maj)

> "batterylow" and "batterycritical" may never happen because of exact level 
> check

>                 Key: CB-4519
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-4519
>             Project: Apache Cordova
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: CordovaJS, Plugin Battery Status
>    Affects Versions: 2.9.0
>            Reporter: Peter

> The battery JavaScript code fires events when charge reaches some threshold 
> percentages 20 and 5:
> {code}
> if (level === 20 || level === 5) {
>     if (level === 20) {
>         cordova.fireWindowEvent("batterylow", info);
>     }
>     else {
>         cordova.fireWindowEvent("batterycritical", info);
>     }
> }
> {code}
> But this logic makes an assumption that the level will at some point be 
> *exactly* 20 or 5. It is not a valid assumption. AFAIK there is no guarantee 
> that the device reports absolutely every percentage point 0-100, so if by bad 
> luck the device reports levels 25,22,19,16... then clearly level===20 was 
> missed so in this scenario the "batterylow" event the user was expecting is 
> simply not going to happen.

> IMO the code should be checking when the previous lvel versus current level 
> has crossed over the threshold, rather checking the current level is exactly 
> equal to the threshold value.
