java - Calculate Android sensor power consumption -
getpower() returns power in ma used sensor while in use:
now, need calculate how battery used registration of sensor.
does value returned getpower() indicate mah (ma per hour) or else? if yes, there way battery mah in order calculate % of battery used sensor?
something quite related has been discussed in google groups not long ago. can find full thread here reference.
a small excerpt last reply in thread, should answer question more or less:
(...) battery capacity given in terms of mah. (...) matters how long battery can supply given current @ rated voltage. 3800mah means can supply 3800ma 1 hour. knowing makes sense api providing current drain metric of power consumption. can calculate how effect have on battery life function of time.
