Signal Documentation

chargePercentChanged ( int  value,
QString  udi
)

This signal is emitted when the charge percent value of this battery has changed.

Parameters:
value  the new charge percent value of the battery
udi  the UDI of the battery with the new charge percent

Signal syntax:
QObject.connect(source, SIGNAL("chargePercentChanged(int, const QString&)"), target_slot)
chargeStateChanged ( int  newState,
QString  udi
)

This signal is emitted when the charge state of this battery has changed.

Parameters:
newState  the new charge state of the battery, it's one of the type Solid.Battery.ChargeState

See also:
Solid.Battery.ChargeState

Parameters:
udi  the UDI of the battery with the new charge state

Signal syntax:
QObject.connect(source, SIGNAL("chargeStateChanged(int, const QString&)"), target_slot)
plugStateChanged ( bool  newState,
QString  udi
)

This signal is emitted if the battery get plugged in/out of the battery bay.

Parameters:
newState  the new plugging state of the battery, type is boolean
udi  the UDI of the battery with the new plugging state

Signal syntax:
QObject.connect(source, SIGNAL("plugStateChanged(bool, const QString&)"), target_slot)

Method Documentation

__init__ (  self,
QObject  backendObject
)

Creates a new Battery object. You generally won't need this. It's created when necessary using Device.as().

Parameters:
backendObject  the device interface object provided by the backend

See also:
Solid.Device.as()

int chargePercent (   self )

Retrieves the current charge level of the battery normalised to percent.

Returns:
the current charge level normalised to percent

Solid.Battery.ChargeState chargeState (   self )

Retrieves the current charge state of the battery. It can be in a stable state (no charge), charging or discharging.

Returns:
the current battery charge state
See also:
Solid.Battery.ChargeState

bool isPlugged (   self )

Indicates if this battery is plugged.

Returns:
true if the battery is plugged, false otherwise

bool isRechargeable (   self )

Indicates if the battery is rechargeable.

Returns:
true if the battery is rechargeable, false otherwise (one time usage)

Solid.Battery.BatteryType type (   self )

Retrieves the type of device holding this battery.

Returns:
the type of device holding this battery
See also:
Solid.Battery.BatteryType


Static Method Documentation

Solid.DeviceInterface.Type deviceInterfaceType (   )

Get the Solid.DeviceInterface.Type of the Battery device interface.

Returns:
the Battery device interface type
See also:
Solid.DeviceInterface.Type


Enumeration Documentation
