Thanks Alan.

Thanks Tom, I have modified the code..I will check and update.

Niki,

Thanks for the response.

Is it possible to tell me which source file I need to add this code mentioned in the link, As I am new to this Android, I am not much aware of the android source tree.

Regards,

Swamy

most likely you want to do this as mentioned above.

anyhow, there is a way to do it in software. you can write a service that creates a wakelock: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/PowerManager.html

Hi Swamy,

If you would like to achieve 1) without having the device attached to the host:

The default for "display sleep" can be found in file frameworks/base/packages/SettingsProvider/res/values/defaults.xml.

Look for def_screen_off_timeout and change its value to -1, meaning "Never".

Also, add "Never" and "-1" to the screen_timeout_entries and screen_timeout_values in file packages/apps/Settings/res/values/arrays.xml. This way, "Never" will also appear as an option in the Settings GUI.

Best regards,
  Tom.

1) Settings -> Applications -> Development -> Stay awake

2) I think this probably requires a code change.
