phonegap-powerManagement-plugin

Plugin for Cordova (3.0+)

• iOS: idleTimerDisabled
• WindowsPhone: UserIdleDetectionMode

• Add ability to keep wifi awake #3

Usage

You might want to set up a variable to keep track of whether or not the wake lock is on:

var wakelocked = false;

Then, you can turn on the wake lock like this. Inside the callback function, you can do whatever you want:

powerManagement.acquireWakeLock(function() {
  wakelocked = true;
});

Similarly, you can turn off the wake lock:

powerManagement.releaseWakeLock(function() {
  wakelocked = false;
});
