[SOLVED] How to keep awake my android device

How to keep awake my android device

Right now my app has to stream music. I'm using a web server and everything works if the phone is awake or is plugged in to a power source.

But I really need to continue streaming until the phone go to sleep. I'm using PowerManager PowerManager.WakeLock in order to keep the phone awake.

This is part of my code:

pm = (PowerManager) context.getSystemService(Context.POWER_SERVICE);
        wl = pm.newWakeLock(PowerManager.PARTIAL_WAKE_LOCK, TAG);
        wl.setReferenceCounted(true);

After that I have the wl.acquire(); and the release. I have a handler that does the release 5 minutes after the songs stop streaming.

int timeToWait = 300000;
turnOffDevice.sendEmptyMessageDelayed(0, timeToWait);

But it works for a short period of time then the song starts jumping and most of time the songs stop.

Solution

Hi I've already fix my problem, the problem was in the wifi, it was sleeping after some time so I added a wifilock and in the constructor of the class in I'm using WIFI_MODE_FULL_HIGH_PERF this flag avoid the device turn off the wifi

wifilock = manager.createWifiLock(3,TAG);// WIFI_MODE_FULL_HIGH_PERF

The only problem is this flag is only available since API 12, but for now is not a big deal into my project. If you want more information in this linkWIFI_MODE_FULL_HIGH_PERF
