Hi,
I'm writing an application for the original galaxy tab that is running 2.3.6. One of the features of the application is to return battery data from the BatteryManager. I used the development tutorials, resources and references from the android development website. I'm have problems when determining when the tab is charging. I use this code:
int status = intent.getIntExtra(BatteryManager.EXTRA_STATUS, -1);
boolean isCharging = status == BatteryManager.BATTERY_STATUS_CHARGING || status == BatteryManager.BATTERY_STATUS_FULL;
The problem is that the status variable always has a value of 4, which is public static final int BATTERY_STATUS_NOT_CHARGING
Since: API Level 1
Constant Value: 4 (0x00000004)
so no matter how the tab is plugged in, by ac or usb, or not plugged in, status = 4. Is this a firmware thing? Or a tab thing? Any ideas?
