How do I keep my display on while using the Nike running app? On my old Droid phone the display would stay on through the entire run. I now have to wrestle the phone out of my armband before I can access the security to turn the display back on to pause or end my run. This really messes up my pace time when I have to do this. I need it to stay on for an hour or longer.
 
You can do that with macros, you will need two macros.
1st to keep the screen awake,
2nd to reset the screen timeout after you get through.



MacroDroid app

Trigger: Application launched => choose your app
Action: Set Screen Timeout => Never


Trigger: Application closed => same app as above
Action: Set Screen Timeout => select time


* MacroDroid - Device Automation - Android Apps on Google Play
