Check if the screen is in idle / sleep mode (screen off)

[Taifun]

@Salvatore_Oliva

back to my last question.

Anke's answer is here

@Anke

the extension only checks whether the screen (of the app) is off, not whether the device is in idle mode. (I have now adjusted the topic.)

And

@Anke

Once the app has been moved to the background, it no longer has permission to query the device's state directly without using a foreground service

And the answer to

@Salvatore_Oliva

Do you think it is possible to modify your extension or build a new one to detect the screen status also?

Probably this is what you are looking for you could write your own extension and create the functionality yourself... more information about how to create an extension see the App Inventor Extensions document however that will be more advanced and will require some Java skills...
