Device Settings and Systems

The device settings and systems features introduce how you can set and get information about the system. You can also access information about attached devices, and display the application output on an external device screen.

You can use the following device settings and systems features in your native applications:

  • Attached Devices

    You can control any external devices attached to the actual user device, and monitor changes in their state. For example, you can access information about the device battery, display, camera flash LED, and power state.

  • External Output Devices

    You can control external output devices, allowing you to display the application screen on a separate device. You can manage the presentation mode, receive information and notifications from the device, and set the attributes for the external output.

  • Diagnostics

    You can access the diagnostic data of the applications. For example, you can retrieve the crash report or the custom diagnostic data that cannot be placed in logs due to their format or size.

  • Runtime Information

    You can access information about the application runtime environment. You can retrieve, for example, memory or storage information in your application, such as allocated and available amounts.

  • System Information

    You can access information about the device system. You can retrieve, for example, various fixed platform features or device capabilities.

  • System Settings

    You can access information about the system settings. You can retrieve the system configuration related to user preferences.

  • Sound and Vibration Feedback

    You can play a feedback pattern using sound or vibration. You can use specific patterns, or specific type and pattern. You can also check whether a specific pattern is supported.

  • Battery Monitor in wearable applications only

    You can access the battery usage-related information for a particular application, or an available hardware resource over a specific duration of time.

  • Resource Monitor

    You can get various information about system, devices, and logical resources in a single unified method.
