KeyguardManager keyguardManager = (KeyguardManager)getSystemService(Activity.KEYGUARD_SERVICE); KeyguardLock lock = keyguardManager.newKeyguardLock(KEYGUARD_SERVICE); lock.disableKeyguard(); in androidmanifest: <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.DISABLE_KEYGUARD"/> share|improve this answer edited Dec 7 '11 at 18:51 PravinDodia 436413 answered May 23 '11 at 10:19 Mitul Nakum 2,31721225
