i=0;
public boolean onKeyDown(int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
System.out.println("In Key Down Method." + event.getKeyCode());
if (event.getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_POWER) {
i++;
System.out.println("Power button pressed.");
if (i == 2) {
System.out.println("Power button pressed continuoulsy 3 times.");
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "Power button pressed " + i + " times.", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
} else {
System.out.println("Power button pressed continuoulsy " + i + " times.");
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "Power button pressed " + i + " times.", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}
return super.onKeyDown(keyCode, event);
}
I am trying to access power button event using above code.Its working fine for Volume_Up and Volume_Down Key but not Working For Power/Lock Button.Why it happens?
Suggest Some Example or code.
You cannot override the power button press from your application. But when you press power button the screen turns on/off. So you can detect this using a broadcast receiver.
<receiver android:name=".MyBroadCastReciever">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.SCREEN_OFF"/>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.SCREEN_ON"/>
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
MyBroadCastReciever.java
public class MyBroadCastReciever extends BroadcastReceiver {
@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
if (intent.getAction().equals(Intent.ACTION_SCREEN_OFF)) {
//Take count of the screen off position
} else if (intent.getAction().equals(Intent.ACTION_SCREEN_ON)) {
//Take count of the screen on position
}
}
}
Hope this is helpful for you.
Note:-For to keep my broadcast receiver always running in Background.I am written one Background Service which continuously start in background and give boost to my broadcast receiver.
You should add the following permission to your manifest file:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.PREVENT_POWER_KEY" />
