Check whether onPause state of activity is called due to screen lock

If my app is running and I press lock screen button, it will put the app in background.What is the method to check whether onPause() is called by screen lock?.Thanks in advance.

Solution

  • All you have to do is check if the screen is on or not.

    @Override
protected void onPause() {
    super.onPause();

    PowerManager pm = (PowerManager) getSystemService(Context.POWER_SERVICE);

    boolean screenOn;
    if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.KITKAT_WATCH) {
        screenOn = pm.isInteractive();
    } else {
        screenOn = pm.isScreenOn();
    }

    if (screenOn) {
        // Screen is still on, so do your thing here
    }
}
