You need this permission: <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WAKE_LOCK" />
Be sure to have a read up on the permissions framework, it's pretty fundamental to Android development. http://developer.android.com/intl/fr/guide/topics/security/security.html#permissions SCREEN_DIM_WAKE_LOCK does not dim the screen. It prevents the screen from automatically turning off (hence the "wake lock" bit), whilst still allowing the backlight to turn off. The developer docs describe the command as a "Wake lock that ensures that the screen is on (but may be dimmed); the keyboard backlight will be allowed to go off." It sounds like what you really want is to manipulate the screen brightness in the system settings. I haven't done this before, but you could try something like: Settings.System.putInt(getContentResolver(), Settings.System.SCREEN_BRIGHTNESS, 10); Take a look at the manual for more info... http://developer.android.com/intl/fr/reference/android/provider/Settings.System.html On Tue, Feb 9, 2010 at 3:35 PM, guich <[email protected]> wrote: > Thanks!
