      Adds a configurable Energy Bar at the top of your screen indicating current Battery level. And just when you think, such a simple battery bar can display such a crucial information, try plugging in your charger - you'll be amazed by the details of the animation you'll see. The pulsating animation and the bar together not only indicates the current Battery level but also how much has the Battery charged since you plugged in your charger.


      Got a full charge? The line will cover the whole width of your screen.
      Battery depleting? So will the length of Energy Bar.

      The latest update of the App let's Energy Bar feel all privileged as it's now more integrated with the device in the form of an Accessibility Service. To you as an user it means, Energy Bar will be very reliable and fits well with the System. And to complement the integration, a nice UI which let's you perform all sort of configuration on the Bar while it's live on your screen.

      Out of the box features:-

      ✓ Energy Bar can be configured from a width of 1 pixel to cover the entire status bar (pro)
      ✓ Energy Bar puts almost 0% load on CPU, as it wakes up only to reflect any change in battery level
      ✓ Energy Bar's origin can be configured as left/center/right
      ✓ Energy Bar can hide on fullscreen content (apps, videos, images, games etc)
      ✓ Energy Bar can be configured to change colors automatically depending on the live battery level
      ✓ Energy Bar could have a mono color/multiple color segments/gradient (pro)
      ✓ You can literally assign any color in the world for your favorite configuration
      ✓ Energy Bar as a cool pulsating animation whenever a power source is plugged into your device


      All that is cool! But what about Energy Bar consuming Battery?!

      This is one of the most exciting question for me to answer. Energy Bar more than anything understands that you need to utilize your battery efficiently (after all, that's why you installed the App, right? ;) .) Energy Bar sits on the screen silently putting almost 0% load on CPU, if battery level changes, Android wakes up Energy Bar. Once awake, Energy Bar quickly updates itself and goes back to sleep. And to be that extra efficient, the Bar goes on deep sleep when you turn off the screen, meaning it doesn't even read changes in battery level when the screen is off.

      Note: If you face any issues/warnings with Secure Startup when you enable Energy Bar, please note that it's an Android bug (https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/37010136). Just disable Secure Startup temporarily, enable Energy Bar and then finally re-enable Secure Startup for everything to work in harmony.

      Do you receive 'Permission Denied' message? Just follow this sequence: Uninstall the App > Reboot your device (clears the App's cache) > Install the App.

      Accessibility Service's permission requirement: Users have been enjoying the ultra stability and reliability of Energy Bar every since version 5.0. And that's because it now runs as an Accessibility Service. The permission prompted by Android when Energy Bar is turned on is a 'minimum requirement' for ANY Accessibility Service (even a dummy one.) Be assured that the App does NOT access anything. Note that Energy Bar has been trusted by the XDA Developers community since ages now - http://bit.ly/xda_EB

      Points for doing what it advertises... BUT IT STAYS ON THE SCREEN WHILE MY SCREENSAVER RUNS!! with the burn in potential makes it not worth running until that's fixed (phone is plugged in at home as a bedside clock with screensaver, this is a huge chunk of screen time, AMOLED screen) (#edit: running Nexus 6 with Lollipop)
      I was looking forward to using this app although I will have to decline due to the following reason: Surprise permission request to access your notifications immediately after installation. I struggle to find a logical reason for surrendering this privacy. I am willing to speak with a developer, but at this time I will be uninstalling Energy Bar. Edit: Thank you for replying. This "Hidden" permission is not mentioned in the Permission Details, which I find "surprising". No worries! The situation is now resolved, I have been using TEAM Battery Bar since this review. So far it works as advertised with no Perms which addresses my privacy concern. Thanks for your time.

      Really good loving the new update. Im only giving 4 stars because I have recently purchased the Samsung galaxy S8 and the bar doesn't stretch towards the edge display. And also I am also using the glass view case and it would be good to have an option to not show the energy bar on the glass cover screen to be honest it doesn't look very good on that black screen

      I love the fact that the developer cared enough to use proper gamma when mixing colours in gradient mode. Such a small detail missed by many but thanks to the attention to detail, my gradient bar looks beautiful without that ugly dark spot in the middle!

      With my failing eyesight it gets harder for me to see if I need to charge my phone. This app makes the battery status VERY obvious, especially if you use the whole status bar as your indicator. I love this app.

      Great app. But does anyone know how to stop an xiaomi device from closing it when you clear running apps? It's annoying having to restart it

      Hi! The App was designed to work on a standard Android device. It didn't anticipate special devices (with AMOLED screen) and screen saver. I do not have such a device yet to control the behaviour for such scenario, may be in future! :)

      Edit: Hi again! Every single App which runs as an Accessibility Service have their permission displayed in the exact same way as Energy Bar, there is absolutely no way for any dev to hide it. Sorry that you find it surprising. Moreover, it's mentioned explicitly in bold in the description here. Wish your rating was a bit fair, thanks for using. :)

      Hi Ibrahim! If the Accessibility Service itself gets turned off then there is something 'external' causing it. May be your OS or some App which kills background services constantly. But if you don't see Energy Bar while the service is on then we might have an issue that I will be happy to resolve. Please, send me more details via email. :)

      In Android O the system sets a persistent notificatio:"Energy Bar is displaying over other apps". This can't be removed. I guess this has nothing to do with your app, but is something in the beta android O. But what do I know? Says what it does. Could have a notification icon that goes with the bar, in % so that you don't need a separate app for that. (thanks for the answer, and I see what you mean. Of course the % is not needed when you use your app.... It's just me. I will learn the color coding in the app and remove my battery indicator!) 5 🌟.

      IJP January 7, 2017
      Hi! Glad that you like the App. Regarding your feature request, the whole point of the App is to provide a 'visual' representation of the Battery, having an icon to display percentage would be an idea that will conflict with the basic nature of the App. Hope that makes sense. :)

      Hi Ade Dennis! I don't understand why do you need to intentionally rate 1 star to get your feedback/bug/crash report to me. I have been pretty active in addressing any issues reported to me (via email and other sources.) If it's an issue, I would like to certainly fix it. Please email me so that I can gather some details for a HOTFIX!

      Bravo! / Review for the 6.3.2 beta version -> Edit: I have my bar set at 1 pixel thick, solid white (alpha 255). The extra layer of transparency makes the bar invisible unless I set it to 2 pixels thick and up. This didn't happen with previous versions. Another bug: Setting white (255) as a color makes the old/new color buttons invisible as well, they're there and are clickable, just white text on white background.

      IJP May 11, 2017
      Edit: Hi again Axel! Do you have a color with transparency set? In that case, charging animation adds another layer of transparency which may combine to make the Bar look almost invisible. Is that the case? you can verify by setting a solid color with no transparency. Let me know your response, accordingly will adjust the animation. :)

      It is a very good app to have. I like it very much. But it would have been very good if the app can have option of moving the indicator bar as per user's wish. Like top, bottom, left or right side of the screen. As of now it defaults to top of the screen. I would like to have it the bottom of the screen.

      Hi! Thanks for reporting. Unfortunately, I don't have a device that is capable of running the preview of Android O. So, I can't address the concern for such an early preview OS. But from what I heard, the OS will have lot of control over notifications displayed. Update: Looks like there is a setting to disable notification from individual Apps.

      Hi! Any App which runs as an Accessibility Service has a requirement of a basic mandatory permission. Energy Bar takes its support to run reliably but can't actually read anything from your device. It's only purpose is to display the Battery. The same is addressed in the App's description, please have a look at it. Email me for further queries. :)
