Well after taking a few days off its time to hit the bricks again. So here I am asking for help as to why my program is not setting the brightness requested... Here is the code I have so far.
import android.app.Activity; import android.content.Intent; import android.os.Bundle; import android.provider.Settings; import android.provider.Settings.SettingNotFoundException; import android.view.WindowManager; public class bright extends Activity { @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { // TODO Auto-generated method stub super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); int brightnessMode = 0; try { brightnessMode = Settings.System.getInt(getContentResolver(), Settings.System.SCREEN_BRIGHTNESS_MODE); } catch (SettingNotFoundException e) { // TODO Auto-generated catch block e.printStackTrace(); } if (brightnessMode == Settings.System.SCREEN_BRIGHTNESS_MODE_AUTOMATIC) { Settings.System.putInt(getContentResolver(), Settings.System.SCREEN_BRIGHTNESS_MODE, Settings.System.SCREEN_BRIGHTNESS_MODE_MANUAL); } WindowManager.LayoutParams layoutParams = getWindow().getAttributes(); layoutParams.screenBrightness = 0.5F; // set 50% brightness getWindow().setAttributes(layoutParams); Intent i = new Intent(this, StartSpark.class); i.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK); startActivity(i); finish(); } } I heard some place that when you do things like this you need to send out a new window in order for it to refresh and take on the new brightness properties. So that is why I have the intent set up at the bottom. I have been messing with this on my own for a while now but everything I am trying is coming up dead... And not in the way I want it to be.. So what am I doing wrong? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
