Hello,

Does anyone know the API to use to not lock the device while you are in your own application? I'm creating a GPS golf application when you don't always use the phone so sometimes the device and get locked. I would rather just have the screen power off, and have the phone not lock while my application is running. I know there are 3rd party applications that do this system wide, but I just care about my own app.

Thanks

I would check out Power Management | Android Open Source.

Yup you want a screen on wake lock but be careful this sort of lock will drain battery like no business.

Thanks, this is what I was looking for... Did not think to look at power stuff, I was only looking at screen stuff.

Many thanks!
