Prevent automatic screen lock in iPad

Question

I am downloading some contents from the server and after sometimes the screen is locked down. The downloading is happening in the background. And I am showing a video after download completes. And in this case, i.e, when the screen is locked, after downloading completes all I can see is just a black screen (After unlocking). In the simulator, I could see the video playing.. but the video has already been started.

Is there any way to prevent the iPad from being Screen Lock? (Other than setting it in the settings menu)
