Don't want to wait for the 15 seconds timeout to lock the screen?

Then here's your life and money savior!


Lock Screen

Lock Screen locks the device's screen by putting the device into sleep/standby mode. In other words, it does the same thing what the power button does after it is pressed and released once.


Features

- Supports all android versions through Android 4.3 (Jelly Bean)

- Locks the screen instantly on application launch
(All android versions)

- Added notification feature for performing the same
(Android 12 and below versions only)


Usage of APIs

Lock Screen requires accessibility service to lock the screen using the default functions and features that are mentioned in 'Accessibility Service' and it also uses 'Device Administration API' to access the power related functions in some cases.

Therefore, it's mandatory for Lock Screen to use the Accessibility Service and Device Administration APIs for accessing their functions or methods as without these APIs the app won't work.
