" Is it sleeping when you're interacting with it, or just running with no 
interaction?"

-- running with no interaction

Some "modules" (stacks) in the app guide the user through a practice, let say, 
e.g.

- do A for 5 second, 
-     (there is a countdown timer showing "1,2,3,4,5"  on the screen)
- do B for 5 second
- hold for 1 second
- repeat above 5 time

Throughout, the user does not have to touch the screen
LC is running "procedure" and displaying count down (or count ups)  on the 
screen.

simply put, its equivalent to running a stopwatch on the phone

Ideally, 
1) the user doesn't "interact" with the phone.
2) BUT, the phone doesn’t go sleep…until the "cycle is over"

Does your video payback APIs do the same?

Testing on iPhone: 
-- set for auto lock in 30 seconds
-- go to the stopwatch, start it running.
-- the phone will not sleep (auto lock) as long as it is running.  I have tried 
it… running 5 minutes. No sleep
-- it only goes to sleep if you pause or stop.

that the behavior we a looking for...

I video media playback APIs keep the screen active.  Beyond that, if the 
user isn't using the device Android will use the threshold you've set to 
conserve power.
