Usage

For general usage, see PowerManager Class.

Platform-specific requirements

Android

For Android, there is one permission you must configure before using this API in your project. To do that, add the following to AndroidManifest.xml:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BATTERY_STATS" />

Limitations

Android

RemainingChargePercentChanged event is not updated continuously as there is no API that provides such events. It is triggered by system Low and Ok battery state broadcasts only. The RemainingChargePercent property always returns the up-to-date value. For continuous monitoring you can set up periodic polling.

WebAssembly

Before any of the properties/events of PowerManager can be accessed, the class needs to be initialized via a platform-specific InitializeAsync method:

#if HAS_UNO
var isAvailable = await PowerManager.InitializeAsync();
#endif

If the returned value is false, refrain from using PowerManager in your code, as it is not available in the browser the user is using.
