I am writing a react native app to get IOS and Android Battery status. I search through the net and found few libraries which can get battery level of the phone.
https://github.com/robinpowered/react-native-device-battery
https://github.com/remobile/react-native-battery-status
https://github.com/oojr/react-native-battery
Every library has issues when I try that and not much support for the developer when ask a question on git hub.
Can any one provide me better solution or library to get Battery status of IOS and Android.
Thanks in advance
I wrote my own IOS and Android classes to get the Battery Status. Here are the steps if any one interested on that,
For IOS,
BatteryStatus.h file should contain following code
#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>
#import <React/RCTBridgeModule.h>
#import <React/RCTEventEmitter.h>
@interface BatteryStatus : RCTEventEmitter <RCTBridgeModule>
@end
BatteryStatus.m file should
#import "BatteryStatus.h"
@implementation BatteryStatus
RCT_EXPORT_MODULE(BatteryStatus)
- (instancetype)init
{
if ((self = [super init])) {
[[UIDevice currentDevice] setBatteryMonitoringEnabled:YES];
}
return self;
}
RCT_EXPORT_METHOD(hide) {
}
RCT_EXPORT_METHOD(updateBatteryLevel:(RCTResponseSenderBlock)callback)
{
callback(@[[self getBatteryStatus]]);
}
//manually get battery status by calling following method
-(NSDictionary*)getBatteryStatus
{
float batteryLevel = [UIDevice currentDevice].batteryLevel;
NSObject* currentLevel = nil;
currentLevel = [NSNumber numberWithFloat:(batteryLevel * 100)];
NSMutableDictionary* batteryData = [NSMutableDictionary dictionaryWithCapacity:2];
[batteryData setObject:currentLevel forKey:@"level"];
return batteryData;
}
@end
Inside your react native app, inside your js file add following code
import { NativeModules } from 'react-native';
constructor(props) {
super(props);
this.state = {
batteryLevel: null,
};
}
componentDidMount() {
NativeModules.BatteryStatus.updateBatteryLevel((info) => {
//console.log(info.level)
const level = Math.ceil(info.level);
this.setState({ batteryLevel: level});
});
}
For IOS above code is working for me to get the battery level
For Android,
BatteryStatusModule.java Should contain following code
package com.yourproject.BatteryStatus;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.content.IntentFilter;
import android.os.BatteryManager;
import com.facebook.react.bridge.Callback;
import com.facebook.react.bridge.ReactApplicationContext;
import com.facebook.react.bridge.ReactContextBaseJavaModule;
import com.facebook.react.bridge.ReactMethod;
public class BatteryStatusModule extends ReactContextBaseJavaModule {
public BatteryStatusModule(ReactApplicationContext reactContext) {
super(reactContext);
}
@Override
public String getName() {
return "BatteryStatus";
}
@ReactMethod
public void getBatteryStatus(Callback successCallback) {
Intent batteryIntent = getCurrentActivity().registerReceiver(null, new IntentFilter(Intent.ACTION_BATTERY_CHANGED));
int level = batteryIntent.getIntExtra(BatteryManager.EXTRA_LEVEL, -1);
int scale = batteryIntent.getIntExtra(BatteryManager.EXTRA_SCALE, -1);
if(level == -1 || scale == -1) {
level = 0;
}
//System.out.print("battery level");
//System.out.print(level);
successCallback.invoke(null ,((float)level / (float)scale) * 100.0f);
}
}
BatteryStatusPackage.java should contain following code
package com.yourproject.BatteryStatus;
import com.facebook.react.ReactPackage;
import com.facebook.react.bridge.JavaScriptModule;
import com.facebook.react.bridge.NativeModule;
import com.facebook.react.bridge.ReactApplicationContext;
import com.facebook.react.uimanager.ViewManager;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Collections;
import java.util.List;
public class BatteryStatusPackage implements ReactPackage {
@Override
public List<NativeModule> createNativeModules(ReactApplicationContext reactContext) {
List<NativeModule> modules = new ArrayList<>();
modules.add(new BatteryStatusModule(reactContext));
return modules;
}
@Override
public List<Class<? extends JavaScriptModule>> createJSModules() {
return Collections.emptyList();
}
@Override
public List<ViewManager> createViewManagers(ReactApplicationContext reactContext) {
return Collections.emptyList();
}
}
Inside MainApplication.java include following code
@Override
protected List<ReactPackage> getPackages() {
return Arrays.<ReactPackage>asList(
new MainReactPackage(),
new MapsPackage(),
new BatteryStatusPackage()
);
}
Inside your react native app, inside your js file add following code
import { NativeModules } from 'react-native';
constructor(props) {
super(props);
this.state = {
batteryLevel: null
};
}
getBatteryLevel = (callback) => {
NativeModules.BatteryStatus.getBatteryStatus(callback);
}
6.Call it something like this:
componentDidMount() {
this.getBatteryLevel((batteryLevel) => {
console.log(batteryLevel);
});
}
For Android above code is working for me to get the battery level
Hope this will help some one to get battery level for IOS and ANDROID
