I couldn't understand your explanation on Power Management question by a participant in FAQ section.Will it be possible for you to re-explain in simple manner.
Hey Aum,
There are two parts
1. The Mobile Widget allows accessing Device APIs, which include access to device resources, this includes power, battery, and storage data. So the Widget can access these information.
2. When you are creating a Widget, you should try to follow the design guidelines for the device, which gives guidelines for optimum frequency of data polling etc.
let me know if this clears your query. Can you put your question so that i can try to explain better.
Thanks
Rajesh
