Android ACTION_SCREEN_OFF intent meaning

In Google documentation about ACTION_SCREEN_OFF they write:

This broadcast is sent when the device becomes non-interactive which may have nothing to do with the screen turning off. To determine the actual state of the screen, use Display.getState().

So I asking when the screen becomes non-interactive and it still turned on.

Solution

  • When you press the power button to lock the screen (or even if the device's screen lights get off, due to inactivity), at that time it goes to a non-interactive state.

    And yes, the device will be turned on.
