This is indeed frustrating. however, there's a funny new
wrinkle whenever I use the new cupcake-approved sugar-free method,
the brightness stays after I go back to the home screen. (yay) I seem
to have problems when brightness gets too low though (IE, cant do
anything with the unit ...
It must still be possible in 1.5 cupcake:
- PowerManager can set it
- Settings - SoundDisplay - Brightness can change it
- haven't checked Locale
While the system setting might have privileged access to the API, the
PowerManager is just a normal program. So how do they do it?

hmm but i also dont like that so much.
for example right now i was thinking to write a simple app just
changing the brightness
in a simple way. not just for a window, for the whole system.
Often I am out and just like a simple change brightness, without
searching through
the setup (imagine i am
// Make the screen full bright for this activity.
WindowManager.LayoutParams lp = getWindow().getAttributes();
lp.screenBrightness = 1.0f;
getWindow().setAttributes(lp);

Dianne,
Would you mind
Dianne,
Would you mind sharing a snippet of code on how to do this in Cupcake
using the new API?
Thanks!

Is there a new way to do this in Cupcake, or is the functionality
being removed?

It will only modify the screen while that window/activity is being shown to
the user. This allows it to be done in a safe way (no permission required)
which the system can recover from if there is a bug in the application (or
if the application gets killed for some reason, as we tend to do).
