wifiLock and wakeLock not working correctly on Android

Question

I am developing an app that needs to use both wifiLock and wakeLock so the audio streaming when the screen is off does not get disturbed. I have tried my app on Android 2.3

It is so late to post the answer but maybe it helps someone. As i faced the same problem and got the solution as :

        WifiManager wm = (WifiManager) getApplicationContext().getSystemService(Context.WIFI_SERVICE);
        wifiLock = wm.createWifiLock(WifiManager.WIFI_MODE_FULL_HIGH_PERF , "MyWifiLock");
        wifiLock.acquire();
        PowerManager pm = (PowerManager) getApplicationContext().getSystemService(Context.POWER_SERVICE);
        wakeLock = pm.newWakeLock(PowerManager.PARTIAL_WAKE_LOCK, "MyWakeLock");
        wakeLock.acquire();

And release the locks in destroy method:

if (wakeLock != null) {
            if (wakeLock.isHeld()) {
                wakeLock.release();
            }
        }
        if (wifiLock != null) {
            if (wifiLock.isHeld()) {
                wifiLock.release();
            }
        }

What i think is missing in your case is you're not acquiring locks. See this link.
