Question

Hi guys,

I am trying to detect Screen backlight On / Off.

I've found android.intent.action.SCREEN_OFF related its event.

But I don't know how to use this.

Can you suggest me about how to detect screen backlight on / off ?

I missing some example or sample code.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Hi,
I think you can have a look at this class. The method isScreenOn() might be what you need.

Answer 2

Create a BroadCastReciever, Add an Intent Filter including your Intent (android.intent.action.SCREEN_OFF).

Just Override the OnRecieve function in the BroadcastReciver with your code.

Be Sure to include the BroadcastReciever in the Manifest File!

good luck! :)
