Energy Bar - Original Edition! - Battery level display & animation

This application introduces a customizable Energy Bar positioned at the top of your display that shows the current battery charge level.

 Just when you think a simple battery indicator can't convey such important information, try connecting your charger – the intricate animation will truly impress you. The animated pulsation and the bar's movement not only reflect the current battery status but also indicate the charging progress since you've plugged in your charger.

Is your device fully charged? The bar will stretch across the entire width of your screen.

If your battery is running low, the length of the Energy Bar will decrease accordingly.

The latest version of the app allows Energy Bar to function seamlessly as an Accessibility Service. For users, this means that Energy Bar is dependable and integrates well with the system. Additionally, it features an appealing user interface that enables various configurations while the bar is displayed on your screen.

Key features include

✓ Customizable width for the Energy Bar ranging from 1 pixel to the full status bar (pro feature)

✓ Minimal CPU usage, as the Energy Bar activates only when there's a change in battery level

✓ Configurable origin position of the Energy Bar (left/center/right)

✓ Ability for the Energy Bar to disappear during full-screen content (applications, videos, images, games, etc.)

✓ Automatic color changes based on real-time battery level

✓ Options for a single color, multiple color segments, or gradient effects (pro feature)

✓ Freedom to choose any color for your preferred settings

✓ A stylish pulsating effect whenever a power source is connected to your device

While all these features are impressive, what about the battery consumption of the Energy Bar?

This question really excites me to answer. Energy Bar is designed with an emphasis on efficient battery use (after all, that's why you downloaded this app!). It quietly occupies space on your screen without exerting noticeable CPU load; when the battery level changes, Android activates the Energy Bar. Once it updates the information, it quickly returns to a standby state. To optimize efficiency further, the Energy Bar enters deep sleep mode when the screen is off, meaning it does not monitor battery changes while the display is inactive.

Accessibility Service Requirement

- For Energy Bar to operate on the lock screen, it is required to function as an Accessibility Service. This service does not access or track any data. This feature is particularly beneficial for individuals who have difficulty reading numbers and prefer visual information.

- No charging animation? Here's a fix for Samsung devices:

- Navigate to Settings > Accessibility > Visibility Enhancements > Remove Animations and uncheck if it is currently selected.

Regarding screen burn-in

The original version of the Energy Bar app has been utilized over several years on AMOLED devices without any reported issues. However, there is no guarantee that such occurrences may be entirely avoided.

Accessibility Service Requirement

As mentioned, the Energy Bar needs to run as an Accessibility Service to appear on the lock screen, and it does not monitor any data whatsoever. This is especially valuable for users who may struggle with numerals and benefit more from visual representation.

User Reviews

1. Request for a Chinese interface; feedback indicates that the battery bar disappears on the lock screen after enabling the full-screen hiding function.

2. The app has a single function, perfectly meeting the need for battery bar viewing, and it's also good at saving power.

3. Currently, there's no Chinese version, making operation inconvenient to understand. We hope a Chinese version can be added; we also look forward to compatibility with notch-screen models.
