How can I know if the screen is turned on due to user's pressing power button or other event like incoming call? Thanks for your help.

Welcome to AndroidPIT forum,

You need to register app as broadcast receiver for ACTION_SCREEN_ON event. Additional info can be found on Google Android Developers. If you will have any difficulties, our users will be happy to help you.

Hi,

User's pressing power button and other events will trigger ACTION_SCREEN_ON event. How can I know if it is tiggered by user?

What is your final target? Maybe there is an another simple way to get it than tracking Power button state. For security reasons using the power button by apps requires too many permission...

IntentFilter filter = new IntentFilter();
filter.addAction(Intent.ACTION_SCREEN_OFF);
BroadcastReceiver mReceiver = new ScreenReceiver();
registerReceiver(mReceiver, filter);

ACTION_SCREEN_OFF can be triggered not only by Power Button....
