Keep the screen awake throughout my activity

Question

I have three activities in my app. I want to keep the screen awake when it is in the second activity. The screen should not go off in my second activity unless the \"lock\"

Answer 1

This code is deprecated, use this instead:

PowerManager pm = (PowerManager) getSystemService(Context.POWER_SERVICE);
wl = pm.newWakeLock(PowerManager.SCREEN_DIM_WAKE_LOCK, "My Tag");
wl.acquire();

After you finish with usage, call (best solution is to call this method in onDestroy method of some activity):

wl.release();
