I have done something similar (although on a smaller scale) to this but for the Android platform. For the iPhone platform, the main class used is UIDevice. Below is the header used:
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
@interface BatteryInformationViewController : UIViewController {
IBOutlet UITextView *batteryLevel;
IBOutlet UITextView *chargingState;
// Used to format the battery level
NSNumberFormatter *numberFormatter;
}
@property (nonatomic, retain) UITextView *batteryLevel;
@property (nonatomic, retain) UITextView *chargingState;
@property (nonatomic, retain, readonly) NSNumberFormatter *numberFormatter;
@end
There are two UI elements (text views), namely the battery level and the battery charging state. The corresponding implementation file is next:
#import "BatteryInformationViewController.h"
@interface BatteryInformationViewController ()
- (void)displayBatteryLevel;
- (void)displayBatteryStatus;
@end
@implementation BatteryInformationViewController
@synthesize batteryLevel, chargingState;
- (NSNumberFormatter *)numberFormatter
{
if (numberFormatter == nil)
{
// Used for formatting the battery level
numberFormatter = [[NSNumberFormatter alloc] init];
[numberFormatter setNumberStyle:NSNumberFormatterPercentStyle];
[numberFormatter setMaximumFractionDigits:1];
}
return numberFormatter;
}
// Implement viewDidLoad to do additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
// Register for battery level and state change notifications.
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self
selector:@selector(batteryLevelDidChange:)
name:UIDeviceBatteryLevelDidChangeNotification object:nil];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self
selector:@selector(batteryStateDidChange:)
name:UIDeviceBatteryStateDidChangeNotification object:nil];
[self displayBatteryLevel];
[self displayBatteryStatus];
}
#pragma mark Battery Info
- (void)displayBatteryLevel {
float batteryLevelLocal = [UIDevice currentDevice].batteryLevel;
if (batteryLevelLocal < 0.0)
{
// -1.0 means battery state is UIDeviceBatteryStateUnknown
self.batteryLevel.text = NSLocalizedString(@"Unknown", @"");
}
else {
NSNumber *levelObj = [NSNumber numberWithFloat:batteryLevelLocal];
// Using the numberFormatter property lazily creates that object the
// first time it's used.
self.batteryLevel.text = [self.numberFormatter stringFromNumber:levelObj];
}
}
- (void)displayBatteryStatus {
// Get battery state
switch ([UIDevice currentDevice].batteryState) {
case UIDeviceBatteryStateUnknown:
{
self.chargingState.text = NSLocalizedString(@"Unknown", @"");
break;
}
case UIDeviceBatteryStateUnplugged:
{
self.chargingState.text = NSLocalizedString(@"Unplugged", @"");
break;
}
case UIDeviceBatteryStateCharging:
{
self.chargingState.text = NSLocalizedString(@"Charging", @"");
break;
}
case UIDeviceBatteryStateFull:
{
self.chargingState.text = NSLocalizedString(@"Full", @"");
break;
}
}
}
#pragma mark Battery Notifications
// Called when the battery level has changed
- (void)batteryLevelDidChange:(NSNotification *)notification
{
[self displayBatteryLevel];
}
// Clalled when the battery status has changed
- (void)batteryStateDidChange:(NSNotification *)notification
{
[self displayBatteryStatus];
}
- (void)didReceiveMemoryWarning {
// Releases the view if it doesn't have a superview.
[super didReceiveMemoryWarning];
// Release any cached data, images, etc that aren't in use.
}
- (void)viewDidUnload {
// Release any retained subviews of the main view.
// e.g. self.myOutlet = nil;
self.batteryLevel = nil;
self.chargingState = nil;
}
- (void)viewDidDisappear:(BOOL)animated {
[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] setInteger:2 forKey:@"WhichView"];
}
- (void)dealloc {
[batteryLevel release];
[chargingState release];
[numberFormatter release];
[super dealloc];
}
@end
The above code is commented, so it should be pretty obvious what it does. I first register for change notifications for battery level and battery status change, and display the initial values for those properties.
There is a really good example from Apple called BatteryStatus. It should give you anything you need regarding battery information.
I hope you find it useful!
