Hi,

I have a timer that schedule a task to run every 5 minutes. This task
send a request to a server, so I need to be sure that CPU is on so
that wifi or 3g can be used.

So the first thing I do in my run() method is :

 PowerManager pm = (PowerManager)
getSystemService(Context.POWER_SERVICE);
 PowerManager.WakeLock wl =
pm.newWakeLock(PowerManager.PARTIAL_WAKE_LOCK, "My wake Lock");
wl.acquire() ;

and the last thing I do in the run() is :
wl.release() ;   //Ah I would like not to release here to be sure my
service will run in the next 5 minutes :P

The question is : if the device is already in a sleep state, can I
wake up it with my wl.acquire()   ?

Any help appreciated.
Thanks
