[jira] [Created] (CB-6838) Battery Plugin needs to be completely re-written

             Summary: Battery Plugin needs to be completely re-written
                 Key: CB-6838
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-6838
             Project: Apache Cordova
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Android
            Reporter: Joe Bowser
            Assignee: Joe Bowser


While investigating the Battery Plugin, I've discovered quite a few issues with it that tells me that this will never actually work:

1. This listens to BATTERY_CHANGED.  We can never listen to this Broadcast because the battery ALWAYS changes and this will drain the battery.  Android explicitly prevents this event from being listened to
2. We don't set up a BroadcastReceiver for BATTERY_LOW, BATTERY_CHARGED
3. We have no idea whether the phone is plugged into an AC Adapter or a Computer, this is important information to have.

I think that it's probably a good idea for this plugin to be completely re-written.
