Try this: PowerManager pm = (PowerManager) this.getSystemService (Context.POWER_SERVICE); WakeLock wl = pm.newWakeLock(PowerManager.SCREEN_DIM_WAKE_LOCK, "My Tag"); wl.acquire();
when you are done with wake lock, wl.release(); Alternatively, you can use this if you have only one activity: PowerManager pm = (PowerManager) this.getApplication().getSystemService (Context.POWER_SERVICE); It's important to remember to release your wake lock. I don't know the 'perfect' or 'standard' way of using it, but anytime my activity receives onPause(), I release it. I had a nasty bug once where my app didn't release it, and because it was still running in the background, my phone didn't sleep for quite some time, almost draining the battery completely! BTW, your app works great - my girlfriend became a zombie for a few moments and didn't remember anything I did to her! --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
