What Should I Replace Screen_dim_wake_lock With?

I am currently utilizing the below referenced code for a wake lock on an alarm notification activity. However, SCREEN_DIM_LOCK has been depreciated. So, what should I be replacing

Solution 1:

Android Developer documentation specifies that SCREEN_DIM_WAKE_LOCK should be replaced with FLAG_KEEP_SCREEN_ON. After doing a bit of digging, I turned up this...

getWindow().addFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_KEEP_SCREEN_ON);

It should be placed in the onCreate() method.

Solution 2:

It can be replaced for FLAG_KEEP_SCREEN_ON, as the javadoc says, but this will prevent the screen from dimming - it will remain bright.

This API should not have been deprecated - it is still needed in some cases, such as the "dim" case.

Solution 3:

Just use

WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_KEEP_SCREEN_ON

In place of

PowerManager.SCREEN_DIM_WAKE_LOCK
