Avoid the iphone go into sleep mode

Question

I have made an iphone fitness application. The issue i am unable to resolve here is that, while the application is running, the iphone goes in the sleep mode, and hence the accelerometer and sound turns off. Which i dont want to happen.

Is there anyway i can avoid this from happening? If not that, atleast i could increase the time of my iphone to go into sleep mode.

Answer 1

Try this

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setIdleTimerDisabled:YES]; 

Answer 2

As Jacob and epatel said, the [[ UIApplication sharedApplication ] setIdleTimerDisabled: YES ]; is the way you wanted. However, you'd better to implement when the application is interrupted by other signal. It means that you'd implement - (void)applicationWillResignActive:(UIApplication *)application method.

Because, there are enforced interruption on the iPhone/iPod touch. A phone call, push a power button, and so on.
