Disable Screen Lock(Power) Button in Android
Solution 1
try this one
int val=android.provider.Settings.System.getInt(getContentResolver(),
SCREEN_OFF_TIMEOUT);
android.provider.Settings.System.putInt(getContentResolver(),
SCREEN_OFF_TIMEOUT, -1);
Toast.makeText(this, "Disabled Screen Timeout", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
SharedPreferences.Editor editor = settings.edit();
editor.putInt("ScreenTimeout",val);
editor.commit();
}
} catch(Throwable er) {
Toast.makeText(this, "Error "+er.getMessage(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
that will set screen off
to disable key guard in android use
KeyguardManager keyguardManager = (KeyguardManager)getSystemService(Activity.KEYGUARD_SERVICE);
KeyguardLock lock = keyguardManager.newKeyguardLock(KEYGUARD_SERVICE);
lock.disableKeyguard();
and use permition
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.DISABLE_KEYGUARD"/>
to keep screen alive
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle icicle) {
super.onCreate(icicle);
getWindow().addFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_KEEP_SCREEN_ON);
}
Solution 2
I have reached this using root access.
sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
insert into secure (name, value) values ('lockscreen.disabled', 1);
or depending on version
sqlite3 /data/system/locksettings.db
insert into locksettings (name, value) values ('lockscreen.disabled', 1);

Academically speaking, I graduated from FAST as a Telecommunication Engineer. Professionally speaking, I am a Software Engineer from right after the graduation :-) I hardly survived the Telecommunication courses but I really enjoyed the programming courses very much. I gave a try to my software development skills and here I am. Started with .Net development to Symbian Mobile Applications development and now enjoying developing Android Applications(sometimes jumping in iOS development as well).

I want that when my application is running the power button (which upon pressing locks the screen & screen goes BLACK), should be disabled. So that the user cannot lock the screen.
I have noticed this thing in Samsung Galaxy S phone's Default Camera App. That's the same reason I am trying to do the same. I have also a Camera related App.
