android application - graph battery level

[spike's]

Hey all,

not sure where to put this, so i guess this is a good a place as any.

my first android app, just a little one to graph battery usage/level. so far only tested on HTC Hero (GSM).

to be done;

graph battery temperature,
export to csv

any comments/suggestions on here please.

Looks quite useful. Put up a bar code link on here when its on the market.

I can test on the Nexus one if you like

Check out the app "Battery Graph" in marketplace. Try and beat and you will have the best app of that type in the market.

Well your bar code works

Installed, I'll let you know once it's had some running time

Anyone know of a UK version of Mobile Defense, I'm shocked that something so useful has not been released over here yet :/

Try wavesecure. Its free(lifetime) for android till march 31st and you don't need to keep using a PC.

You get the usual remote locking, automatic lock with sim card, and cell tower tracking (gps if on). Can backup everything remotely or wipe everything if you want remotely.

You can also get it installed into a modaco ROM so that even a hard reset won't work.

Download "barcode scanner" from the market - run it and point the camera at the screen . It does the rest.

installed on my hero, will it keep track of battery changes or do i need to keep the app open to record the changes?

Installed, looks like a useful app. I love the bar code scanner.

it runs as a service, collecting data as it goes (doesn't actually ask for data, just reads the log from memory)
so you will need to "run" it, but you can close it.
