Keep Screen On

BrianLomas

Within appstudio, is there a way to keep the screen from going to standby and locking while your app is running? I'm using appstudio desktop version 3.0.53 and configuring the quick capture template.

Thanks.

Hi Brian,

The Platform.stayAwake = true should set inside a signal handler, for example, in the code sample below, stayAwake is inside an onClicked signal.  If you wish to keep the screen on when opening the app, you can put stayAwake inside Component.onCompleted.

Note:  Best practice for using stay awake is to set this property to false before the app is minimized or closed. 

import ArcGIS.AppFramework.Platform 1.0

    ColumnLayout {

        anchors.fill: parent

        Button {

            text: "Enable Stay Awake"

            onClicked: {

                Platform.stayAwake = true;

            }

        }

        Button {

            text: "Disable Stay Awake"

            onClicked: {

                Platform.stayAwake = false;

            }

        }
     }
