WakeLocks

Since AndroidAnnotations 3.2

@WakeLock

The @WakeLock annotation allows to easily acquire a WakeLock for a method.

Usage example:

@WakeLock(tag = "MyTag", level = WakeLock.Level.FULL_WAKE_LOCK, flags = WakeLock.Flag.ACQUIRE_CAUSES_WAKEUP)
void methodWithWakeLock(String aParam, long anotherParam) {
    [...]
}

When the method gets executed, it has a FULL_WAKE_LOCK and due to the ACQUIRE_CAUSES_WAKEUP flag the screen is turned on.

Permissions

WakeLocks require the android.permission.WAKE_LOCK permission.

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WAKE_LOCK" />

Known issues

@WakeLock does not work with @Trace if the method returns a value. For methods with no return value @Trace works as expected.
