How to get real time battery level on iOS with a 1% granularity

Question

I\'m using this function to get current battery level of device:

[[UIDevice currentDevice] setBatteryMonitoringEnabled:YES];
UIDevice *myDevice = [UIDevice c         


        

Answer 1

The answers above are very good, but they are all in Obj-C, I have used these with other examples to do the same task on MonoTouch, so I am putting my code here in case anybody needs it:

try
{
    UIDevice.CurrentDevice.BatteryMonitoringEnabled = true;
    _Battery.Level = (int)(UIDevice.CurrentDevice.BatteryLevel * IOSBatteryLevelScalingFactor);
    _Battery.State = UIDevice.CurrentDevice.BatteryState;
}
catch (Exception e)
{
    ExceptionHandler.HandleException(e, "BatteryState.Update");
    throw new BatteryUpdateException();
}
finally
{
    UIDevice.CurrentDevice.BatteryMonitoringEnabled = false;
}
