API Summary

Allows client applications to power-on, power-off, and perform other power-related operations on the device.

Overview of the API

By using this service, a client application can control the power state of the device.

Using the APIs provided by this service, client application do the following:

  • Set the device in different power states:
    • setState(), getState()
    • reboot()
    • shutdown()
  • Register for state change transitions and confirm the transitions where applicable:
    • registerStateTransition()
    • respondStateTransitionAck()
  • Set a wake lock on the device
    • acquireWakeLock ()
    • releaseWakeLock()
  • Specify power-on reason
    • setPowerOnReason()
    • getPowerOnReason()

Check descriptions of specific methods to get relevant details.
