Check if battery optimization is enabled or not for an app

Android 6 and 7 have some power optimizations (doze mode) which restrict app networking when device is not used.

User may disable optimization mode for any app in Battery settings:

Is it possible to check if optimization is enabled for my app or not? I need to ask user to disable optimization for better app functionality, but I don't know how to check it programatically.

Solution 1:

Add this permission in your manifest.

<uses-permission  android:name="android.permission.REQUEST_IGNORE_BATTERY_OPTIMIZATIONS"/>

Request White-list / optimization enabled your app

if(Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.M) {
        Intent intent = new Intent();
        String packageName = getPackageName();
        PowerManager pm = (PowerManager) getSystemService(POWER_SERVICE);
        if (!pm.isIgnoringBatteryOptimizations(packageName)) {
            intent.setAction(Settings.ACTION_REQUEST_IGNORE_BATTERY_OPTIMIZATIONS);
            intent.setData(Uri.parse("package:" + packageName));
            startActivity(intent);
        }
    }

Solution 2:

This one was a bit tricky to track down: here's what you are looking for

PowerManager.isIgnoringBatteryOptimizations()

Solution 3:

How to write this in Kotlin

1. Check if optimization is enabled

    /**
     * return true if in App's Battery settings "Not optimized" and false if "Optimizing battery use"
     */
    fun isIgnoringBatteryOptimizations(context: Context): Boolean {
        val pwrm = context.applicationContext.getSystemService(Context.POWER_SERVICE) as PowerManager
        val name = context.applicationContext.packageName
        if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.M) {
            return pwrm.isIgnoringBatteryOptimizations(name)
        }
        return true
    }

2. Check if Optimization enabled, open optimizations Activity

    fun checkBattery() {
        if (!isIgnoringBatteryOptimizations() && Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.M) {
            val name = resources.getString(R.string.app_name)
            Toast.makeText(applicationContext, "Battery optimization -> All apps -> $name -> Don't optimize", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show()

            val intent = Intent(Settings.ACTION_IGNORE_BATTERY_OPTIMIZATION_SETTINGS)
            startActivity(intent)
        }
    }

Solution 4:

Sample Code :

 PowerManager pm = (PowerManager) getSystemService(POWER_SERVICE);
            if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.M) {
                if (pm != null && !pm.isIgnoringBatteryOptimizations(getPackageName())) {
                    askIgnoreOptimization();
                } else {
                   // already ignoring battery optimization code here next you want to do
                }
            } else {
           // already ignoring battery optimization code here next you want to do
            }

Declare static variable

private static final int IGNORE_BATTERY_OPTIMIZATION_REQUEST = 1002;

show dialog for BATTERY_OPTIMIZATIONS

 private void askIgnoreOptimization() {

        if (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES.M) {
            Intent intent = new Intent(Settings.ACTION_REQUEST_IGNORE_BATTERY_OPTIMIZATIONS);
            intent.setData(Uri.parse("package:" + getPackageName()));
            startActivityForResult(intent, IGNORE_BATTERY_OPTIMIZATION_REQUEST);
        } else {
            openNextActivity();
        }
    }

also need to add permission to manifest file i.e as below

<uses-permission  android:name="android.permission.REQUEST_IGNORE_BATTERY_OPTIMIZATIONS"/>

Maybe this code is helpful to you!
