I am using a PowerManager.WakeLock to keep the device from going to sleep automatically

  • 0

I am using a PowerManager.WakeLock to keep the device from going to sleep automatically during certain states of my app. However, if the user presses the power button, I want the device to power off. Is there a WakeLock flag that can do this? Or is there a notification I can receive when the user presses the power button?

    Is there a WakeLock flag that can do this?

    Any WakeLock type other than PARTIAL_WAKE_LOCK will have this effect. Quoting the documentation:

    If you hold a partial wakelock, the CPU will continue to run, irrespective of any timers and even after the user presses the power button. In all other wakelocks, the CPU will run, but the user can still put the device to sleep using the power button.

    You should only hold a partial WakeLock for background work that you want to run to completion (e.g., long file download), then release that WakeLock.

    Or is there a notification I can receive when the user presses the power button?

    No sorry.
