Disable sleep on certain activity

Question

Is there any way to disable sleep of android mobile phone when user is in certain activity.

I want to disable screen time out when user is in main activity.

Is there any way to do it? Don't know if it is possible or not?

Answer 1

Try this.

 @Override
 protected void onCreate(Bundle icicle) 
 {
     super.onCreate(icicle);
     getWindow().addFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_KEEP_SCREEN_ON);
 }

Answer 2

I am using this:

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle icicle) 
{
      super.onCreate(icicle);
      getWindow().addFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_KEEP_SCREEN_ON);
}

Don't forget to place the permission in the manifest

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WAKE_LOCK" />

Answer 3

Best way just add

android:keepScreenOn="true"

to the parent layout of that activity.
