This actually does something different -- it prevent the screen from going into the "dim right before going to sleep" state. What the original posted wanted was to force the screen to be full bright (defeat the automatic brightness control, or override the user's current brightness setting), which can be done with the WindowManager.LayoutParams.screenBrightness field:
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/WindowManager.LayoutParams.html#screenBrightness Also the vast majority of people should not be using the PowerManager for SCREEN_BRIGHT_WAKE_LOCK at all, instead using another WindowManager.LayoutParams API to keep the screen on while their window is displayed. This is much less likely to result in application bugs that end prevent the user's device from going to sleep, and doesn't require that the application have the power manager permissions: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/WindowManager.LayoutParams.html#FLAG_KEEP_SCREEN_ON On Mon, Oct 5, 2009 at 9:46 AM, Yusuf Saib (T-Mobile USA) < yusuf.s...@t-mobile.com> wrote: > > > http://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/PowerManager.html#SCREEN_BRIGHT_WAKE_LOCK > > > > Yusuf Saib > Android > ·T· · ·Mobile· stick together > The views, opinions and statements in this email are those of the > author solely in their individual capacity, and do not necessarily > represent those of T-Mobile USA, Inc. > > > On Oct 5, 6:54 am, bklik <brenton.k...@gmail.com> wrote: > > I'm getting a lot of requests by users of my flashlight application, > > that they want me to disable the HTC Hero's automatic dimming feature > > that works off the light sensor. > > > > How do you disable it through code?
