Android Question Screen always on

[konisek]

How to keep the screen always on during running my app?
Before I used

    Dim pw As PhoneWakeState
    pw.KeepAlive(True) 'Display on, bright

It should still work. It works for me!

Just make sure that "pw.KeepAlive(True)" is placed in Activity_Create

Also works for me here with Android 14. One thing that has never worked for me is the direct switching between dimmed and undimmed wakelock:

Dim pw As PhoneWakeState
pw.KeepAlive(True) ‘Display on, bright

then later at some point: (and this does not work!)

pw.KeepAlive(False) ‘Display on, dimmed

To make it work, you have to release the wakelock first. So the correct code is:

pw.ReleaseKeepAlive
pw.KeepAlive(False) ‘Display on, dimmed
