Solution

  • I don't understand what is your 1st question.. I thought that is a fact if you want to keep waking up your application?

    If keep your screen not dimming down is what you want to achieve, you could try this code:

                //This is to keep the screen not dimming down.
        Window.AddFlags(WindowManagerFlags.KeepScreenOn);
