Please don't access "undocumented hidden public methods": http://www.androidguys.com/2009/12/14/code-pollution-reaching-past-the-sdk/ As I wrote, just watch for ACTION_SCREEN_OFF and ACTION_SCREEN_ON Intents and track the state yourself. If you find that unpleasant, file a feature request to either expose isScreenOn() or the equivalent in the SDK, or make the ACTION_SCREEN_* Intents sticky, so you can more truly poll. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com Android App Developer Books: http://commonsware.com/books.html -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
