Description
This app allows you to keep your screen on *only* when debugging is active on the device over Wifi (on Android 11) or USB.
It switches to the previously set display timeout when the device is unplugged or plugged into a wall socket.
Permissions Notification Access: To monitor debugging notifications WRITE_SETTINGS to change the display timeout setting to maximum allowed (30 minutes on most devices) INTERNET for Crashlytics (crash reports)
This application is open-source under the Apache license and it is easy to verify that the build here is the same as the one created through GitHub Actions.
GitHub: https://github.com/AfzalivE/AwakeDebug/.
Note: Android GO phones are not supported because there's no way to get Notification Access on Android GO Edition.
DISCLAIMER: Please be careful on OLED screens as keeping the screen awake for long periods of time could cause burn-in.
Recent changes: After 2 years of abandonment and the banishment of the implicit ACTION_POWER_CONNECTED from background in API 26, this nifty app returns with support for the magic of wireless debugging on Android 11 and a newfound interest in debugging notifications to find out if debugging is active on the device. 🎉

Really good app, easy and does exactly what I need. There is only one problem - it doesn't work if a phone is connected to an usb hub :(

Android version 8.0 and still this option doesn't exist. I'm not sure who wants their device to stay awake all the time when it's plugged in? But, I'm pretty sure the point of that option is to be on why developing, not on all the time. This man has done an exceptional job developing an application that does just that. I'm also confused at the fact that there's only a thousand plus downloads? How does one not want this as a viable option When developing Android applications? Take note Google....

Dim Screen Please introduce functionality to dim light after a few minutes. This is a very useful app for developers.
