Help me...!!! In As ActivityStarter (App inventor 2) to show the battery level as an integer percentage of the total capacity in ...?

Does anyone know how to do it? Help me! I did not understand. Here's the link (additional manual): http://beta.appinventor.mit.edu/learn/reference/other/activitystarter.html

Super! I found the solution! How clever of me! Friends, here is the solution. No need to thank me. Not worth applause. :)))

I tried a few different things but with no success.

I don't know how you found the solution, but I congratulate and applaude you.

Great job!

that solution uses an external app, see here https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.papatita.batterylib

without that external app, this solution will not work

the better solution would be to create an extension to get the battery information

more information about how to create an extension see here https://groups.google.com/d/msg/mitappinventortest/Ip2AX036d0U/5NJlAEbFCgAJ

however that will be more advanced and will require some Java skills...

I think that Taifun is right, because when I removed the external app "Battery Lib"... My app caused an error 601... So that even before I applause. :(

But, I'll find a solution... I will deserve the applause... :) So leave this topic open, it is not complete...

Taifun

Thank you very much for the help... It's an interesting idea... I Hope for Your help in the future when creating extensions for App Inventor 2...

[Taifun]

I meanwhile created a Battery Manager extension, for more information see here https://puravidaapps.com/battery.php. Enjoy!

 Taifun, thank You very much! You are a good and kind person. As a Chechen, I sincerely thank You.

Hi. I wanted the battery percentage to be sent to Arduino via bluetooth. Can you please help me with the blocks?

@ Shamanth

Assuming you already know how to communicate with your arduino, just send the arduino the   level   from Taifun's extension to it as text.

If you do not know how to communicate, see the Forum discussions about  arduino and bluetooth  https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/mitappinventortest/send$20text$20to$20arduino%7Csort:date    ; perhaps this specific Forum discussion might get you started https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/mitappinventortest/send$20text$20to$20arduino%7Csort:date/mitappinventortest/P-_TVzj7KSc/DifLpkyFBAAJ
