nativescript-community/insomnia

:sleepy: NativeScript plugin to keep the device awake (not dim the screen, lock, etc)

NativeScript Insomnia

💡 Plugin version 2.0.0+ is compatible with NativeScript 7+. If you need to target older NativeScript versions, please stick to plugin version 1.2.3.

Demo app (Angular)

This plugin is part of the plugin showcase app I built using Angular.

Installation

Run the following command from the root of your project:

tns plugin add @nativescript-community/insomnia

Usage

To use this plugin you must first require() it:

JavaScript

var insomnia = require("@nativescript-community/insomnia");

TypeScript

You could do the same as in JS, but this looks fancier, right?

import { keepAwake, allowSleepAgain } from "@nativescript-community/insomnia";

keepAwake

  insomnia.keepAwake().then(function() {
      console.log("Insomnia is active");
  })

allowSleepAgain

  insomnia.allowSleepAgain().then(function() {
      console.log("Insomnia is inactive, good night!");
  })

insomnia's Issues

Can not make it work on a Nativescript-Vue project

Hi!
I'm trying to use this plugin within a nativescript-vue project but I aways get this error when keepAwake is called:

TypeError: Cannot read property 'getWindow' of undefined'

Actually, I'm trying to run on android platform. Nativescript version is 4.1.

Thanks!

Webpack support

Hey Eddy, looks like webpack support was added to package.json by removing .js but doesnt look like this was released to NPM.

Remove usage of the deprecated utils.ios.getter function

See NativeScript/NativeScript#7054

Android approach

In Android there is the PowerManager class (https://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/PowerManager). The class allows for enabling and disabling the wakelock (requires permission). Wouldn't this be a better approach than the foreground service?

Was there any other intention or concern, not to use PowerManager?

Thx!

Still Sleeping after period of time

@EddyVerbruggen

I know why you added the code to check for foreground activity to keepawake or sleep when the app is not active but for me this defeats the whole purpose of the plugin. Can we either revert back to the older version or add a flag to disable this activity check?
