Before marking this post as a 'duplicate', I am writing this post because no other post holds the solution to the problem.I am trying to turn off the device, then after a few minutes or sensor change, turn it back on.Turn Off Display TestsI am able to turn off the screen using: params.flags = LayoutParams.FLAGKEEPSCREENON;params.screenBrightness = 0;getWindow.setAttributes(params);I have been unable to turn off the screen using the wl.release method.Turn On Display TestMy first guess, as follows, does not work. Nothing happens, screen remains off. Params.flags = LayoutParams.FLAGKEEPSCREENON;params.screenBrightness = -1f;getWindow.setAttributes(params);I also then tried to use wakelocks, with no success. PowerManager.WakeLock wl = pm.newWakeLock(PowerManager.SCREENBRIGHTWAKELOCK, 'tag');wl.acquire;Finally I have tried the following, with no result. GetWindow.addFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAGTURNSCREENON);All in all, I don't get any kind of error in the console for any of these methods. My test text 'Screen should be on', is on the the screen when I turn on the device using the power button.

This shows that the code should have ran. Please only answer if you have tested the code, it seems like many of the functions such as params.screenBrightness = -1, do not work as they should according to the sdk. I am going to assume you only want this to be in effect while your application is in the foreground.This code: params.flags = LayoutParams.FLAGKEEPSCREENON;params.screenBrightness = 0;getWindow.setAttributes(params);Does not turn the screen off in the traditional sense. It makes the screen as dim as possible. In the standard platform there is a limit to how dim it can be; if your device is actually allowing the screen to turn completely off, then it is some peculiarity of the implementation of that device and not a behavior you can count on across devices.In fact using this in conjunction with FLAGKEEPSCREENON means that you will never allow the screen to go off (and thus the device to go into low-power mode) even if the particular device is allowing you to set the screen brightness to full-off. Keep this very strongly in mind. You will be using much more power than you would if the screen was really off.Now for turning the screen back to regular brightness, just setting the brightness value should do it: WindowManager.LayoutParams params = getWindow.getAttributes;params.screenBrightness = -1;getWindow.setAttributes(params);I can't explain why this wouldn't replace the 0 value you had previously set.

As a test, you could try putting a forced full brightness in there to force to that specific brightness: WindowManager.LayoutParams params = getWindow.getAttributes;params.screenBrightness = 1;getWindow.setAttributes(params);This definitely works. For example, Google's Books apps uses this to allow you to set the screen brightness to dim while using a book and then return to regular brightness when turning that off.To help debug, you can use 'adb shell dumpsys window' to see the current state of your window. In the data for your window, it will tell you the current LayoutParams that have been set for it.

Ensure the value you think is actually there.And again, FLAGKEEPSCREENON is a separate concept; it and the brightness have no direct impact on each other. (And there would be no reason to set the flag again when undoing the brightness, if you had already set it when putting the brightness to 0. The flag will stay set until you change it.). I would suggest this one: PowerManager.WakeLock wl = pm.newWakeLock(PowerManager.SCREENBRIGHTWAKELOCK PowerManager.ACQUIRECAUSESWAKEUP, 'tag');wl.acquire;The flag ACQUIRECAUSESWAKEUP is explained like that:Normal wake locks don't actually turn on the illumination.

Instead,they cause the illumination to remain on once it turns on (e.g. Fromuser activity). This flag will force the screen and/or keyboard toturn on immediately, when the WakeLock is acquired.

A typical usewould be for notifications which are important for the user to seeimmediately.Also, make sure you have the following permission in the AndroidManifewst.xml file. Here is a successful example of an implementation of the same thing, on a device which supported lower screen brightness values (I tested on an Allwinner Chinese 7' tablet running API15). WindowManager.LayoutParams params = this.getWindow.getAttributes;/. Turn off:./params.flags = WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAGKEEPSCREENON;//TODO Store original brightness valueparams.screenBrightness = 0.1f;this.getWindow.setAttributes(params);/. Turn on:./params.flags = WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAGKEEPSCREENON;//TODO restoring from original valueparams.screenBrightness = 0.9f;this.getWindow.setAttributes(params);If someone else tries this out, pls comment below if it worked/didn't work and the device, Android API.
