Android Question Check if screen is off without using intents

[Inman]

I know I can wait for screen on/off events using PhoneEvents. But what I want to do is check if screen is on/off at any given time. To elaborate, when a notification comes, I want to do one thing if screen is on and another if screen is off.

I found this Java code. Could you please translate to B4A?

Sub IsScreenOn As Boolean
   Dim p As Phone
   If p.SdkVersion < 20 Then Return True 'not worth bothering with Android 4 devices
   Dim ctxt As JavaObject
   ctxt.InitializeContext
   Dim displays() As Object = ctxt.RunMethodJO("getSystemService", Array("display")).RunMethod("getDisplays", Null)
   For Each display As JavaObject In displays
       If display.RunMethod("getState", Null) <> 1 Then Return True '1 = Display.STATE_OFF
   Next
   Return False
End Sub
