Overriding the power button in Android

Is there any possible way I can stop the screen being locked when the power button is pressed.

Answer 1

You can’t stop screen to get lock(short click), But you can get the event of long keypress of Power button

 @Override
public boolean dispatchKeyEvent(KeyEvent event) {
    if (event.getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_POWER) {
        //dostuff
        return true;
    }

    return super.dispatchKeyEvent(event);
}
