Hello,
To understand my question a little better, let me first explain the problem, that led to it.
We are using a third-party application, which main features are to keep track of routes and deliveries. For example, where & when is it delivered/collected, or tracing of a driver with the possibility of live updates.
A requirement for most of these features, would of course be a (nearly) constant GPS signal.
Here lies the problem. On our third-party application, the GPS signal is turned off every time we activate lockscreen (screen goes dark, while the device is still operating in the background). Meaning that our application is neither transmitting nor collecting any data.
But this can be avoided as long as the screen stays on active. - Which leads to my question.
Is it possible to force the screen on our devices, to stay activated at all times, not allowing our drivers to physically turn the screen off by pressing the power button?
Meaning that as long as there is charge on the battery, the screen will stay activated, unless we as an administrator tell it otherwise.
As a bit of wishful thinking, we would like to take it even further, so that the screen could switch between maximum brightness and minimum brightness, with the press of a button. I do understand this might would be asking too much, so a feature like that, is defiantly only a second priority.
Hope someone can support us with our "little" problem.
Kind regards
Joachim
