Hi, I would like to prevent the screen from sleep while using the app.  
My users are using a lot with the stopwatch (classic app), The stopwatch runs for few minutes, the problem is that the screen is going black after 15 - 30 sec by the default setting of the phone.  
When the user turns the screen back on the stopwatch freezes.

How can I solve it?  
Thank you.

I don’t think that is something that can be configured. Maybe you could if you had a video component that is playing a long video as videos will typically keep the screen on, but other than that, something like that is an OS level setting that Glide wouldn’t have access to.

Curious if anyone ever found a fix here?

I see solutions like this - wondering if this can be implemented or similar?
