keep screen on about android-quill HOT 9 CLOSED

I want to add my support for this request. Even if it is limited to rooted 
users like the task bar removal.

Volker,

You do an amazing job

Hi Volker,

thx for your info.
I thought that I need no root access, like the Writepad APP.

Yo do a great job, I am only a user.

Greatings

Hi Klaus,

I am not Volker. I thought your request is sorely needed so I was expressing my 
support for it and remembered Volker saying this needs root privileges, much 
like hiding the menu bar. At the same time I was expressing my admiration for 
Volker's job.
Sorry for the confusion. 

If the project member(s) reads this, I just added a preference to my modded 
version to keep the screen on. I do not see why it would need root, Power 
Manager is a freely available API to use (though it obviously needs a 
permission). I could easily be mistaken for older OS versions. Anyway, I am 
available for resource if needed on this manner. 

I actually plan to tackle a few more of the listed issues. This was just an 
easy one I saw.

I think screen on should be default, no need for a preference. Its easier to 
use FLAG_KEEP_SCREEN_ON:

Do you have a particular reason why you want to use PowerManager?

No particular reason. You are obviously more familiar both with the APIs and 
the application.

I personally kept it as a preference because of lectures. Keeping it as a 
preference allowed me to save battery when my professors go on rants with no 
need for note-taking, but also allowed for more intensive taking when in other 
classes.

I agree with xxquake that a preference is preferable, because sometimes I need 
to preserve battery to get through a whole day away from a power plug ...

Fixed in version 9.3
