How to keep backlight ON, on android?

in Android Processing • 2 years ago

Hello, I'm developing a game, that is controled by tilting the screen, after some time of playing, the screen goes black. (Or whatever is set in options.) Is it possible to adjust the backlight by some code so that is never goes dark? :)

import android.view.WindowManager;
import android.view.View;
void onCreate(Bundle bundle)
{
super.onCreate(bundle);
// fix so screen doesn't go to sleep when app is active
getWindow().addFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_KEEP_SCREEN_ON);
}

What that "bundle" should be? (I don't have the class.)

I tried to use the line

getWindow().addFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_KEEP_SCREEN_ON);

in resume() but it didn't work.

Can you explain it more?

Sorry I forgot the Bundle import. Not sure if you need any others, but give this a go. Just add the onCreate method to your sketch, it only runs once when your application loads up.
