Note

This function is not yet implemented.

Gets the battery state on a device.

Syntax

void GetBatteryState(  
         GameInputBatteryState* state  
)

Parameters

state _Out_
Type: GameInputBatteryState*

Information about the device battery state like charging rate, remaining charge, and charge capacity.

Return value

Type: void

Returns the GameInputBatteryState* structure and populates with zero values and unknown status.

Remarks

The GetBatteryState method returns information about the current state of the device's battery. This information is defined by the GameInputBatteryStatus enumeration and GameInputBatteryState structure.

Refer to the following code example to see the constants that define this enumeration and the members that define this structure.

typedef enum GameInputBatteryStatus
{
    GameInputBatteryUnknown     = -1,
    GameInputBatteryNotPresent  =  0,
    GameInputBatteryDischarging =  1,
    GameInputBatteryIdle        =  2,
    GameInputBatteryCharging    =  3
} GameInputBatteryStatus;

typedef struct GameInputBatteryState
{
    float chargeRate;
    float remainingCapacity;
    float fullChargeCapacity;
    GameInputBatteryStatus status;
} GameInputBatteryState;

All floating-point values are expressed in terms of watt hours. If the device does not have a battery, or if the current battery state cannot be determined, all floating-point values are zero. Otherwise, all floating-point values are positive numbers, except for the chargeRate member that is a negative value when the battery is discharging.

Accurate watt hour values are provided whenever they can be retrieved from the device. However, not all devices provide this information, or may only provide it for some of the values. Any floating-point values that don't have accurate watt hour readings available are assigned default values as follows:

The chargeRate is set to +/- 10% of the fullChargeCapacity value when charging/discharging, or zero if the charging state is "idle".
The remainingCapacity is set to the value of fullChargeCapacity, and it is multiplied by the remaining charge percentage.
The fullChargeCapacity is set to a value of 1 watt hour.

Granular Charge Level	Mapped Percentage Value
Full	100%
Medium	70%
Low	40%
Critical	10%

For the best user experience when displaying battery levels, any UI code that displays "bars" of battery power should align with the values specified in the preceding table. For more information, see Input practices for games.

If the GetBatteryState method is called when the device has been disconnected from the system, all floating-point values are set to zero and the status member is set to GameInputBatteryUnknown (even if valid values were available when the device was connected). This method retrieves data stored in local memory and is safe to call from any context.
