I am trying to create an option (using the checkbox settings) in my application so that the user can turn the lock screen off and on again. I use disableKeyguard () to disable the lock screen and it works flawlessly, but I cannot get reenableKeyguard () to work. The code is pretty simple, I do not know why it does not work.
public void onSharedPreferenceChanged(SharedPreferences taskprefs,
String tasks_pref) {
boolean skiplock = taskprefs.getBoolean("pref_skiplock", false);
boolean screentimeout = taskprefs.getBoolean("pref_screentimeout",
false);
skiplock(skiplock);
}
private void skiplock(boolean action) {
KeyguardManager keyguardManager = (KeyguardManager) getSystemService(Activity.KEYGUARD_SERVICE);
KeyguardLock lock = keyguardManager.newKeyguardLock(KEYGUARD_SERVICE);
if (action == true) {
lock.disableKeyguard();
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Lockscreen Disabled",
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
else if (action==false) {
lock.reenableKeyguard();
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Lockscreen Enabled",
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}
