How do I properly fire ACTION_REQUEST_IGNORE_BATTERY_OPTIMIZATIONS intent?


As stated in the documentation:

"An app holding the REQUEST_IGNORE_BATTERY_OPTIMIZATIONS permission can trigger a system dialog to let the user add the app to the whitelist directly, without going to settings. The app fires a ACTION_REQUEST_IGNORE_BATTERY_OPTIMIZATIONS Intent to trigger the dialog."

Can someone tell me the proper way to fire this intent?


Solution

  • Java

    Intent intent = new Intent();
    String packageName = context.getPackageName();
    PowerManager pm = (PowerManager) context.getSystemService(Context.POWER_SERVICE);
    if (pm.isIgnoringBatteryOptimizations(packageName))
        intent.setAction(Settings.ACTION_IGNORE_BATTERY_OPTIMIZATION_SETTINGS);
    else {
        intent.setAction(Settings.ACTION_REQUEST_IGNORE_BATTERY_OPTIMIZATIONS);
        intent.setData(Uri.parse("package:" + packageName));
    }
    context.startActivity(intent);
    

    Kotlin

    val intent = Intent()
    val pm : PowerManager = getSystemService(Context.POWER_SERVICE) as PowerManager
    if (pm.isIgnoringBatteryOptimizations(context.packageName)) {
        intent.action = Settings.ACTION_IGNORE_BATTERY_OPTIMIZATION_SETTINGS
    } else {
        intent.action = Settings.ACTION_REQUEST_IGNORE_BATTERY_OPTIMIZATIONS
        intent.data = Uri.parse("package:${context.packageName}")
    }
    context.startActivity(intent)
