How to keep Tizen device screen on during execution

I'm preparing an app in EFL and also have access to the dbus interface.

I wanted to know what would I have to do to keep the screen from dimming or going off during execution?

This would be similar to obtaining wakelock in Android for keeping the screen awake.

Solution

  • In the EFL apps, you have to include the capi-system-power and deviced in your project build.

    In your code,

    #include <power.h>
#include <dd-display.h>

    and finally

    display_lock_state(LCD_NORMAL, GOTO_STATE_NOW, 0);

    got me what I wanted.
