Keep the Screen On With DeviceDisplayInfo in Xamarin.Essentials

The Device Display Information API in Xamarin.Essentials gives you all kinds of information about the device display. You can see the width, the height, the density, but not only that, you can also prevent the screen from going to sleep. Maybe you have a navigation app that needs to keep the screen on even if the user is not interacting with it. This API can do that and a lot more.

Thanks for your videos... Do you know if it is possible to keep running the app when the device screen is locked? Like an alarm, timer or so.

I am making a picture book app. I want to use KeepScreenOn only on one page of my app (when a book is read to a user). Untill now I've only found this "global" setting. Do you know if it can be done on a screen by screen basis?
