Hi,

I would like to unlock screen and switching it on to show a popup on an event trigger. I am able to unlock the screen using

newKeyguardLock = km.newKeyguardLock(HANDSFREE); newKeyguardLock.disableKeyguard();

on KeyGuardService but I cannot turn on the screen. I am using

wl = pm.newWakeLock(PowerManager.SCREEN_BRIGHT_WAKE_LOCK, HANDSFREE); wl.acquire();

but with no success. The screen still remains off. How can I achieve this? Thanks in advance.
