Device Screen still turns Off

[zionnite]

Hello Creator,

I started using your package today and I'm grateful for the amount of work you put into this,
however, I'm not getting the desired result with this package.
I'm creating a Streaming App where users stream to thousands of followers but it seems WakelockPlus.enable() is not working because the device screen still turns off instead of the device's screen being on all through till the user exists the page and the dispose function () which has the WakelockPlus.disable() it's in

current package of interest
wakelock_plus: ^1.2.5
win32: ^5.5.0

Please, what I'm I doing wrong?

@diegotori , please what do you think of this?

What platform are you using?

Also, iOS has known issues where it may not keep the screen on (affecting 16.4 and higher). Once I get myself an iOS device, I'm gonna port the code from Insomnia.swift into the iOS platform channel. The emulator may not be ideal for testing the wakelock.

Nevertheless, I do accept and will review PRs related to this. As long as it passes the existing integration tests, then it'll get merged and released.

If you submit a PR to this effect, then you will also have to update wakelock_plus_platform_interface and regenerate the pigeon classes so that they generate Swift instead of Objective-C.

I'm testing on Android at the moment

I need to know which device in particular is causing this issue, which version of Android, etc...

Also, try running the project's example app as an initial sanity check. If that app works without issue, then it might be the way your app is being configured, or even the device itself.

Furthermore, after doing a quick Google search, it seems that this is a known issue, where WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_KEEP_SCREEN_ON, which is what this library adds and removes in its Android platform channel, doesn't end up working.

What's even worse is that when these issues pop up, the poster never specified the device and Android version that it failed to keep the screen on.

Long story short, the Android platform channel is doing this by the book: using WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_KEEP_SCREEN_ON with the current activity that is running Flutter.

@diegotori , it is working now...
I guess clearing the caches by flutter pub cache clean and flutter clean did the trick
Thanks for your support

Do we have any solution with flutter_background?
