Disable/Delay Android Lock Screen Programmatically

Question

I’d like to disable/delay the lock screen programmatically. In looking into this, KeyguardManager is depreciated/doesn\'t work consistently,

Answer 1

try this, it will keep awake the screen/ display , as long as the activity is on top. getWindow().addFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_KEEP_SCREEN_ON);

Also this does not require any permission in manifest.

Answer 2

Did you try this?

KeyguardManager keyguardManager = (KeyguardManager)getSystemService(Activity.KEYGUARD_SERVICE);
KeyguardLock lock = keyguardManager.newKeyguardLock(KEYGUARD_SERVICE);
lock.disableKeyguard();

Add

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.DISABLE_KEYGUARD"/>

You can disable the keyguard using this.

Answer 3

the answer of @nandeesh is working but it's deprecated , to disable lock screen use flags :

getWindow().addFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_DISMISS_KEYGUARD);
