Question

I want to disable the lock screen in a certain app. My problem is that this also disables the lock screen for the whole phone. So I added lock.reenableKeyguard(); to the onPause() method, but this is called not only when the user exits the app but everytime a new activity starts in that app. Do I have to disable the lock screen in every activity and add this onPause method? Is there way to manage this only in the first activity that is shows when the app starts?

Btw I also reenable the lock screen in the onStop and onDestroy methods. The other problem with onPause is that it is also called when I turn off the phone’s screen (by pressing the power button or what is that called), so when I first open the app, I turn off the screen then turn it on, there is no lock screen, but when I turn it off-on again, there is it, as I reenable it in the onPause method.

After playing with this a couple of hours I figured out I forget to implement onResume():

 public void onResume()    {
            lock.disableKeyguard();
            super.onResume();
        }

This way every time I open the activity/turn on the screen, the lock screen is disabled.
