Not working on Android 7.1 about react-native-keep-awake HOT 7 CLOSED

Thanks for verifying this @yannickoo. From my testing, this happens on a physical device and the behavior is actually intermittent. For my use case, the screen stays on even after I call KeepAwake.deactivate();

from react-native-keep-awake.

I can confirm that it does not work. Unfortunately it's hard to verify this in the simulator :/

This is the current code in KCKeepAwake.java:

public void activate() {
    final Activity activity = getCurrentActivity();

    if (activity != null) {
        activity.runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
            @Override
            public void run() {
                activity.getWindow().addFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_KEEP_SCREEN_ON);
            }
        });
    }
}

When checking the documentation it gives us following example:

public class MainActivity extends Activity {
  @Override
  protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
    getWindow().addFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_KEEP_SCREEN_ON);
  }
}

from react-native-keep-awake.

Oh, I got some feedback that the screen does not stay active at all.

from react-native-keep-awake.

On Android 7.1 my screen also doesn't deactivate. Maybe because of deactivate call? In documentation it says to de-activate by:

getWindow().clearFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_KEEP_SCREEN_ON).

instead of:

 activity.getWindow().clearFlags(android.view.WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_KEEP_SCREEN_ON);

Not working on my Android 1.7.2 as well

I've decided to deprecate this package in favor of https://docs.expo.io/versions/latest/sdk/keep-awake/. That package does everything this one does, and is better maintained.
