GameManager | API reference | Android Developers

public final class GameManager
extends Object

The GameManager allows system apps to modify and query the game mode of apps.

Note: After Build.VERSION_CODES.VANILLA_ICE_CREAM, some devices that do not support the GameManager features may not publish a GameManager instance. These device types include:

Wear devices (PackageManager.FEATURE_WATCH)

Therefore, you should always do a null check on the return value of Context.getSystemService(Class) and Context.getSystemService(String) when trying to obtain an instance of GameManager on the aforementioned device types.

Constants

GAME_MODE_BATTERY

public static final int GAME_MODE_BATTERY

Battery game mode will save battery and give longer game play time.

Constant Value: 3 (0x00000003)

GAME_MODE_CUSTOM

public static final int GAME_MODE_CUSTOM

Custom game mode that has user-provided configuration overrides.

Custom game mode is expected to be handled only by the platform using users' preferred config. It is currently not allowed to opt in custom mode in game mode XML file nor expected to perform app-based optimizations when activated.

Constant Value: 4 (0x00000004)

GAME_MODE_PERFORMANCE

public static final int GAME_MODE_PERFORMANCE

Performance game mode maximizes the game's performance.

This game mode is highly likely to increase battery consumption.

Constant Value: 2 (0x00000002)

GAME_MODE_STANDARD

public static final int GAME_MODE_STANDARD

Standard game mode means the platform will use the game's default performance characteristics.

Constant Value: 1 (0x00000001)

GAME_MODE_UNSUPPORTED

public static final int GAME_MODE_UNSUPPORTED

Game mode is not supported for this application.

Constant Value: 0 (0x00000000)

Public methods

setGameState

public void setGameState (GameState gameState)

Called by games to communicate the current state to the platform.

Parameters
`gameState`	`GameState`: An object set to the current state. This value cannot be `null`.
