Several Android devices famously the Nexus series have a magnetic sensor that is NOT the android.hardware.Sensor.TYPE_MAGNETIC_FIELD used exclusively to turn the screen ON/OFF automatically using phone cases that have a small magnet inside them.
On my application, I'm using magnet detection using android.hardware.Sensor.TYPE_MAGNETIC_FIELD and the SensorManager to detect user touches the phone in a case with some magnets inside.
The code works without issues, the problem is that it's extremely easy on those devices to accidentally trigger the screen ON/OFF sensor thou, turning off the screen.
I've tried:
android:keepScreenOn="true"on the XML- using the permission
android.permission.WAKE_LOCKand acquiring a wake-lock viaPowerManager.
Both without success.
Is there a way to temporarily disable this sensor while my activity is resumed?
