In my application I need to know when device is locked (on HTC's it looks like short press on "power" button). So the question is: which event is triggered when device is locked? Or device is going to sleep?
You should extend BroadcastReceiver
and implement onReceive
, like this:
public class YourBroadcastReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
if (Intent.ACTION_SCREEN_OFF.equalsIgnoreCase(intent.getAction())) {
//screen has been switched off!
}
}
}
Then you just have to register it and you'll start receiving events when the screen is switched off:
IntentFilter filter = new IntentFilter(Intent.ACTION_SCREEN_ON);
filter.addAction(Intent.ACTION_SCREEN_OFF);
appBroadcastReceiver = new AppBroadcastReceiver(yourActivity);
registerReceiver(appBroadcastReceiver, filter);
