I am using the method setKeepScreenOn(true) and haven't been able to figure out how to call this in relation to the current Activity (which has a content view set). I've been able to get it to work by calling it on one of my buttons which is always present in the view, but this feels wrong - and I'm sure there must be a way to get around this. I tried referencing the current focus like this:
getCurrentFocus().setKeepScreenOn(true);
but that threw a NullPointerException. Maybe there was no current focus. So, can anyone tell me how I can reference the view class which I am working inside? Thanks :)
Try this answer:
getWindow().addFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_KEEP_SCREEN_ON);
getWindow is a method defined for activities, and won't require you to find a View first.
