Hi All, I have a requirement to turn the screen display on and off from a Android Service. I should have a function SwitchScreenDisplay (ON/OFF), to ON or OFF the display.
I searched through the SDK and found a few APIs and settings. One method I found is boolean err = android.provider.Settings.Secure.putInt(myThis.getContentResolver(), Settings.System.SCREEN_OFF_TIMEOUT, 1); But it gave the following security permission exception [03-14 21:24:41.575: ERROR/DatabaseUtils(1066): java.lang.SecurityException: Permission denial: writing to secure settings requires android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS] even though I had added the following statement in AndroidMenifestFile.xml <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS"></uses-permission> So my question is: - Was the above method is the right way to SWITCH OFF the screen - How does the LONG END KEY press, switches/powers off the display? Which API it calls? - How to SWITCH on? Is it using the PowerManager wakelock? I appreciate and thankful for your time.
