Question

Is there a way to programmatically access the settings->about phone->battery usage stuff? We'd like to monitor how much power our app is using.

Alas, no.

We'd like to monitor how much power our app is using.

The excellent-but-flawed answer is the Qualcomm MDP with the Trepn power profiler. Alas, this is expensive and has a wholly inappropriate set of terms and conditions, IMHO.

There is also http://powertutor.org/ and https://github.com/dvgrhl/BatteryCalibrator, though neither are as sophisticated as Trepn.
