What is idle mode in android? Is it when my phone's screen is off or is it when no application is in foreground or something else?
Actually I have got a requirement, where some power management scripts need to be run once the phone is in Idle mode.
Idle mode means a condition where the vehicle engine is warm and running at the rate specified by the manufacturer as curb idle, where the engine is not propelling the vehicle, and where the throttle is in the closed or idle stop position.
1.) Android 4.3 onwards(api 18 and above) :use "idle"( CPU Idle) and "load" ( CPU Load) as list category options. 2.) Android 4.2 and below (below api 18) : use "-i, --cpu-idle" to trace cpu idle events and "-l, --cpu-load" for cpu load percentage ( though for your need cpu idle events shall do the job ).
When idle, Android sends roughly 1MB of data to Google every 12 hours, compared with iOS sending Apple about 52KB over the same period. In the US alone, Android collectively gathers about 1.3TB of data every 12 hours.
According to the developer docs IDLE means that the phone is on sleep. Doze mode is for Android 6 and later.
