I'm developing a app that in certain times it should wake up the device and dismiss the keyguard to display some activity until the user dismisses it. So, the
getWindow().addFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_DISMISS_KEYGUARD |
WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_SHOW_WHEN_LOCKED);
does not work on Android Lollipop, meanwhile it works perfectly on the pre Android versions !! Any suggestions?
This is the working solution:
BroadcastReceiver Class
@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
mWakeLock = ((PowerManager) context.getApplicationContext().getSystemService(Context.POWER_SERVICE)).newWakeLock(PowerManager.PARTIAL_WAKE_LOCK, "TAG");
if (!mWakeLock.isHeld()) {
mWakeLock.acquire();
}
Intent intent = new Intent(context, MainActivity.class);
intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
context.startActivity(intent);
mWakeLock.release();
}
MainActivity Class
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle bundle) {
super.onCreate(bundle);
getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN |
WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_DISMISS_KEYGUARD |
WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_SHOW_WHEN_LOCKED |
WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_TURN_SCREEN_ON,
WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN |
WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_DISMISS_KEYGUARD |
WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_SHOW_WHEN_LOCKED |
WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_TURN_SCREEN_ON);
setContentView(R.layout.activity);
....
}
And now it is working even on Android Lollipop 5.0.1
