Utilities

The following utility Actions have been included in the Asset.

Action Name	Description
Features Supported	Checks for Accelerometer, Audio, Gyroscope, Vibrations, and Location.
Get Opsys	Writes the Operating System to a String Variable
Get Network Connection	Checks the Network Connection and writes to a String Variable
Is Mobile	Checks if the current runtime platform is a Mobile Device
Get Battery Level	Gets the Battery Level and writes to a Number Variable
Fill Battery Image	Fills and Image from a Number Variable
Number Variable to Text	Writes to a Text string from a Number Variable

1. The Features Supported Action is similar to the Conditions included in this Module. However, where a Condition will do an instant check and execute an Action depending on true or false return, This Action will write the result to a Bool Variable. This can then be used to display features, error messages, or other things depending on requirements. The features checked and selected from the dropdown are:

• Accelerometer

• Audio Services

• Gyroscope

• Vibrations

• Location Services

2. The Get Opsys Action will write the current operating system platform to a string variable. This is not limited to Mobile devices and can also be used on a desktop. The format returned would be:

• iPhone OS 8.4 - on a iOS 8.4 system

• Android OS API-22 - on an Android 5.1 system

See the Unity Manual under SysInfo for further information on this data.

3. The Get Network Connection Action will write the current Network Status to a string variable. This is not limited to Mobile devices and can also be used on a desktop. The Strings returned are:

• Internet not Available.

• Internet via carrier data network.

• Internet via Local Area Network.

This Action also repeats and can be used to show if the Internet becomes unavailable.

4. The Is Mobile Action will write true or false to a Bool variable. This is not limited to Mobile devices and can also be used on a desktop but will obviously return false. This action can be used to execute some functions when running on a mobile device and other functions when on a Desktop.

5. The Get Battery Level Action will write the current Battery charge to a Number Variable. This Action also repeats and when used in conjunction with the Fill and Image and Number Var to text, it can be used to show the current battery level on a UI Canvas.

For more information on Utility Actions, see Example 8 - Utilities.

To use the Example 8, you must first create the required Variables for each Action used.
