Is there way to keep the iPad screen on?

Question

Is there a way to prevent the iPad from sleeping while my app runs? I am making a kiosk app that needs to not auto sleep.

Answer 1

You want the UIApplication.idleTimerDisabled property.

Answer 2

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setIdleTimerDisabled:YES]

Answer 3

Here's how to do it, as of 2010.

You will have a file called "AppDelegate_Pad.h"...

-(BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application
            didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
        {
        [window addSubview:yourHappyPlace.view];
        [window makeKeyAndVisible];
        application.idleTimerDisabled = YES;
        return YES;
        }
