Agora.io Video call stops after some minutes of lock screen in android

Question

I'am using Agora.io video call for my application, it is working fine both audio and video, but when I put the device in sleep mode, after some minutes the application probably goes to sleep mode and I'am disconnected from the call channel until I wake up my device again.

I searched the Agora.io documentation for any issue but without success.

Has anyone an idea?

you can request wake lock permission so device won't go to sleep . — Manohar, Feb 04 '21 at 09:50

@ManoharReddy So I can use WakeLock.acquire() when the appliction goes in background and this will make the app continue to work? — Rob B, Feb 04 '21 at 10:38

SOLVED

I used a ForegroundService that set a Persistent Notification and I was able to ask the service to keep the Camera and Microphone active

<manifest>
...
<service ... android:foregroundServiceType="microphone|camera" />
</manifest>
