Considering the answers here and here are not providing an actual solution to the same problem and are more than a year old...
I have a Vibrator
. I know how to fully control the vibrator.
I have the following two issues:
- When it's vibrating and the screen is being locked, it will stop.
- When the screen is already locked, it will not vibrate at all.
Maybe it's due to the fact I use a custom rom(?)
I'm also holding a wakelock before starting to vibrate.
vibratorWakeLock = mPowerManager.newWakeLock(
PowerManager.PARTIAL_WAKE_LOCK, VIBRATOR_WL_TAG);
vibratorWakeLock.acquire();
Even with this WakeLock i cannot get the phone to vibrate, or to maintain the vibration when Screen is turned off, so i think that it's somehow related to the state of the screen instead of the processor (which is enabled by my WakeLock).
- How can I get my vibrator to really vibrate independent from the screen lock-state?
EDIT:
I also do not want to use a full WakeLock, since it's deprecated.
