Android Question [CLOSED] Get the current PhoneWakeState ?

[lemonisdead]

Hello,
Do we have a way to get the current WakeState not to release it by chance if any other app is relying on it ?
Many thanks for that

Never used wake locks before, but maybe you could set an intent in your Manifest so to have a service in your app called when a wake lock is set by some other app.
I didn't see any "check wake state" functions in Android PowerManager.

Thanks udg. But as the Phone library is able to return if the changed state was already held or not, I guess we should be able to read the current state. BTW thanks for having pointed me to the PowerManager. I'll do some more searches.

I don't see any API that allows you to check whether another app has acquired a wake lock.

Excuse, I don't get it : if the Phone library is able to tell us that the wanted state was already acquired can't we get the value before to modify it ?
Sorry for the newbie question because I don't have a "understanding" of the question.

The phone library only knows whether your app has already acquired a lock.

OK. Thank you very much. I now understand

Maybe http://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/PowerManager.html and a bit of Javaobject and inline Java practice ??
