Android Question Start Screensaver programmatically

[Mike1970]

Hi everyone, I’m developing an app that will run on a panel tablet (kiosk).

This tablet has the screensaver function in system settings (colors or clock) with a button to start it. From settings seems that the screensaver can start ONLY if the tablet is charging… but since it is a tablet panel pc this thing does not kinda work….

SO, the question is: Can I start the screensaver directly from my app? Maybe with some intent idk



Edit:
I attached the sample code with Erel solution for the future people

Try this:

Dim in As Intent
in.Initialize("", "")
in.SetComponent("com.android.systemui/com.android.systemui.Somnambulator")
StartActivity(in)

Try this:

Dim in As Intent
in.Initialize("", "")
in.SetComponent("com.android.systemui/com.android.systemui.Somnambulator")
StartActivity(in)

Nice! seems to work

Try this:

Dim in As Intent
in.Initialize("", "")
in.SetComponent("com.android.systemui/com.android.systemui.Somnambulator")
StartActivity(in)

Update:

This seems to not work while the device is locked in Kiosk Mode, the display lowers the brightness but the screensaver does not actually start.
I tried to add the package "com.android.systemui/com.android.systemui.Somnambulator" or "com.android.systemui.Somnambulator" or both to the allowed apps in Kiosk mode (thinking it was the gold ticket) but didn't work... same behaviour.
