    Screen light on android dims

    Ok, this is only with the test APK, haven't tried building it for real so may be different.

    My game so far is controlled only with the accelerometer, so I'm not touching the screen or any buttons while playing.

    After a while the screen gets dimmer, and doesn't light up again until touching the screen. It doesn't go out completely, just dims down. Which is how it behaves at inactivity in other apps as well, so nothing strange, but not so good for a game. :) I assume it should be possible to override this somewhere in the code and thought you should know.

      Yes we'll add a function to enable/disable screen dimming with the next version.

      Also there is a solution. After exporting your code you can add this line
      getWindow().addFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_KEEP_SCREEN_ON);
      to the onCreate(...) function of your Activity to disable screen dimming.

      @techdojo I think this feature was implemented some time ago:

      Application:setKeepAwake(keepAwake)
