Is it possible in Android to make the screen go black? You can set the brightness to a low level but you cannot dim it until it goes black. Of course I could create an activity with just a black screen but would prefer an API that simply turns the screen off but not power down the device.

  • I believe turning the backlight off only dims the screen (or am I wrong?). I want it to go entirely black. – Johann Nov 07 '13 at 06:35
  • I think locking phone will do the same – Chintan Rathod Nov 07 '13 at 06:37
