Android Question How to read the phone's instantaneous current consumption from code?

I see that API 21 has a feature that allows you to read the phone's instantaneous power consumption
How to use this function in B4A environment?
I ask this because using the GPS features I see that the power absorption is not homogeneous
And I would like to understand exactly the power consumption depending on the program code, in order to optimize a position tracking app as best as possible

This is the code that ChatGPT generated - see if it works:
B4X: 
Sub Process_Globals
    'These global variables will be declared once when the application starts.
    'These variables can be accessed from all modules.
    Dim jo As JavaObject
End Sub

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
    'Initialize the JavaObject
    jo.InitializeContext
  
    'Get the BatteryManager service
    Dim batteryManager As JavaObject
    batteryManager = jo.RunMethod("getSystemService", Array As Object("batterymanager"))
  
    'Define the BATTERY_PROPERTY_CURRENT_NOW constant
    Dim BATTERY_PROPERTY_CURRENT_NOW As Int = 2 'The actual value might be different. Check the Android documentation for the correct value.

I'm tryng this code
But it doesn't seem to correspond to reality
I'm trying increasing and decreasing the brightness of the display, and turning the flashlight on and off, which I believe is one of the main causes of current absorption
But the values returned by currentNow do not seem to correspond to reality
Even the sign, negative or positive, I would expect to see it change when I insert the charging cable, but this is not always the case
Same result, disappointing, on Andoid 5.02 (Samsung tablet), Android 6.0.1 (Cat S60), Android 11 (BlackView 6600)

What were some of the current readings in the log?

Also, I think a minus means it's showing the current while running on battery, and a positive number if the current when charging.

Yes, of course, it should be like this
But if you try to load the example above you'll see that it doesn't

I'm curious what the actual values are to see if they are within a 100ma to 1200ma range - so what are some of the readings?

Does it return a fixed value, or does the value vary?

Small variations, even using the flashlight on/off
And a negative sign even with the charger inserted

OK, so you get ma (milliamps) by dividing those values by 1000.

So, its reporting around 104ma - 112ma - that sounds about normal.

If the battery level is less than 99% (so there is room to charge), then when you plug in the charger, what type of values does it report?

Also, running the camera app and viewing the live preview screen will draw a LOT of current - so that should exceed 250ma.

No it's not normal, because i switch flashlight on and off, and the Current Battery value does not change with the (presumed) real consumption
And it's not normal that Current Battery has a minus sign, with battery charger and without

The LED for the camera will not cause the current to change much, so don't use that as a test.

When you run the camera app and the live preview is actively being displayed on the screen, then that will draw a lot of current.

I also wouldn't count the negative not turning to positive when charging as a test either, because maybe the current value will always be negative even during charging and they you need to call another API to detect if the battery is being charged (as a boolean value).

So, try running the camera (not just the camera LED) with the live preview being displayed and see if the current value is much higher.

An app that consumes more than the flashlight LED or the display backlight?
I do not think I think the things that consume the most are:
- display lighting
- the functioning of the GPS
- the flashlight on your phone

I'm not sure in what order, but I don't think an app can overcome these features in terms of power consumption.
What references do you have to affirm what you wrote above?

There are problems with the other items you mentioned:

1) Display lighting - how much current it draws depends on if you have LCD or OLED and when the display turns off (where you would expect a significant drop in current), the phone will probably go to sleep, so your app wont be running to log the current usage.
2) GPS - GPS is designed to run in the background and periodically, so it's current use is not constant.
3) The flashlight LED will draw about 200ma, but other things can be going on in the phone to cancel out some of the current - so the current may not jump as much as 200ma when it's on.

Why don't you want to run the camera in live preview mode and see for yourself how much more current it draws (it should draw up to 500ma)?

If my info on current is not helpful to you, I understand, but at least I was able to help you use the API you wanted to use

You're right, camera is up to 500 mA, termocamera (is a Cat S60) is up to 1A
It is important to note that from the moment of the real change in absorption, the value changes only after a few seconds, even for devices that consume more
And so in reality it is not instantaneous consumption but a value integrated over time
Probably to make it more stable and less variable than it might actually be
