Plenty of devices running Android don't have batteries: "smart" TVs, set-top boxes, etc. Power source: yes, battery: maybe. Perhaps they're trying hard to avoid null.
null
Anyway, it is interesting to see how to inspect the API.
I agree. Regarding trying hard to avoid null: maybe the InputDevice should have the hasBattery() method instead. Then the api flow would be:
InputDevice
hasBattery()
if (inputDevice.hasBattery()) { val battery = inputDevice.getBattery()
getBattery() might always be non-null, nonetheless. Just feel that query method should not be there :-)
getBattery()
