Wear DisplayLock

This is a utility that allows you to keep the display of your Android Wear device permanently enabled. When activated, it grabs a wake lock that prevents the display from going to sleep.

The app is made up of both a phone/tablet app, and an embedded wearable APK. The wake lock can be controlled from any device, and the state of the wake lock is synchronized via a data item between all devices on the wearable network.

This is designed as a tool to be used during demonstrations and video filming where you want to prevent the display from going to sleep. You should disable the wake lock when not required, otherwise the screen could burn in.

Building

This sample uses the Gradle build system. To build this project in release mode with the embedded wearable APK, you will need to use “gradlew assembleRelease” or use Android Studio and the “Generate Signed APK” menu option.
