Wakelock on android

[hci...@gmail.com]

At one time all kivy apps prevented the screen from sleeping. I understand that this is not needed for all apps and so the default is now for them to recognize sleep mode. In our case however we need the screen to be always on. I have not found any documentation on how to do this, only docs on how to switch it off. How do I de-activate sleep mode for my apps?

If you're using buildozer, in buildozer.spec set:

  android.permissions = WAKELOCK

    and also 

  wakelock =  True

If you're not using buildozer, you need to add --permission WAKELOCK and I think also the --wakelock option to your build command.

I'm not using buildozer.spec. I have tried the below option but I only get and error when I use --wakelock in the build command.

Something like this should work:

./build.py --package org.test.touchtracer --name touchtracer --version 1.0 --permission WAKELOCK --dir ~/code/kivy/examples/demo/touchtracer --wakelock debug

If it doesn't, make sure your python-for-android is up to date.
