device doesnt go on sleep mode

[razzbee]

Hello I have successfully compiled and installed my kivy app on android 6 device , but the device doesnt go on sleep mode even though I havent enabled wake lock

I am using the master branch of kivy , python for android and buildozer. Thank you

Are you sure you haven't enabled it in Developer settings or in a similar OS settings? Don't you have it connected via USB or something? The basic app isn't able to make Android stay awake.

[razzbee]

the same happens even without usb attached , besides I havent enabled 'Stay Awake' mode in developers settings (Off)

Can you provide the APK and/or the code?

[razzbee]

let me send apk , do I upload it here?

[razzbee]

App Uploaded here : http://playslack.com/mediamate.apk

[razzbee]

I have opensourced the core part (as planned ) docs is not very good , but that should at least help. https://github.com/razzbee/kivy-android-webview

[razzbee]

any solution yet?

The apk seems corrupted for some reason, can't open it on both phone or pc. However, the code doesn't seem to have any issues with the lock itself. Have you tried it on some other device with higher/lower/same android version? Apparently if the apk is really corrupted, you'll need to paste here the AndroidManifest.xml file.

I still think it's something enabled on your device that forbids the phone to sleep.

I have reuploaded the apk , http://playslack.com/mediamate.apk , again the app crashes for android version less than 4.4

[KeyWeeUsr]

Confirmed, yet I have no clue why. App doesn't use any related permission to wake lock (check manifest), I have no such option enabled and even the code seems to be correct. Webview bootstrap too.

Android 4.4.2

[razzbee]

okay , but about this launch crash on android < 4.4 , is there any solution to that?

[KeyWeeUsr]

Lowering minimal api for your app, otherwise I don't know. Logcat would be needed for the crash.

[razzbee]

I think te non sleep mode is not from my code , because I tried compiling hello world and had the same bug, tried on android 5 & 6 devices

[razzbee]

Well I figured out that this error happens with the sdl2 backend , pygame backend doesnt have this bug

[KeyWeeUsr]

@inclement I tested it with both pygame and sdl2 launchers + that testapp_setup:

• neither of launchers have this bug in project chooser screen
• pygame after app launch sleeps well
• sdl2 doesn't sleep
• testapp doesn't sleep

any idea why? Webview isn't build upon sdl2, is it?
