Android Question Disable totem like tablet until needed.

I use a totem-style tablet, managed by sending wifi command from my pc application, to make occasional public user input, during the periods when the tablet is not to be used I would like nothing to be displayed and the screen to somehow freeze, then at the time I need of data input I would like to 'switch on' the tablet from the my pc program and allow it to be used.
How to control the tablet from B4A to enable this behaviour.

Many thanks

Paolo

You can not programmatically Power on a Tablet by Code. You have to use the powerbutton on the tablet to power up.

Thanks you for your reply,
unfortunately the tablet is not near but it's not necessary to turn it off i just need the screen to go black, i don't think that's a problem, and the touch screen still unresponsive like the standby. it's obvious that if someone presses the power keys the tablet will reboot.

I have just written an almost identical answer to another post : When you want the device to become "dormant" why not simply cover the whole screen with a black panel and use it to absorb and ignore all Touch events? Then, when you require the next input, remove the overlay panel?
