Question

Answer 1

You should use the DisplayRequest class.

When a display request is activated, the device's display remains on while the app is visible. When the user moves the app out of the foreground, the system deactivates the app's display requests and reactivates them when the app returns to the foreground.

Ref: DisplayRequest class

Sample code:

var dr = new DisplayRequest();
dr.RequestActive();
//  ...
dr.RequestRelease();
