AutoLock off in Android doesn't work

[fugalh]

I'm not an expert in Android dev or PhoneGap but I did a little digging in the code and it looks like the AutoLock OFF choice is trying to do something, but it's not keeping the screen on for me. I notice the app doesn't ask for permission to do this at install, so it might be as simple as fixing the manifest?

Yeah, I just looked through the code and it doesn't look like this does anything under Android at the moment. Here's the relevant code on SO:

Are you compiling the app yourself? If so I can probably find time to add this in. If not, it's probably going to (still) be a while before the next version of Control comes out...

I haven't been, but I can.

Though, I do have a workaround (another app that runs in the background)
so if you just want to fix it for the next release that works for me
personally.
