In your activity's onCreate:

getWindow().addFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_KEEP_SCREEN_ON);

No need for a permission, no need to do stuff as the user enters and leaves
your activity, no chance of having bugs where you prevent the device from
sleeping when the user isn't in your app.

I wish more people would use this instead of directly messing with the power
manager.
