How to reset the screen timeout android?

Question

I'm working on an android app and I was wanting to have the apps screen timeout be reset when the app reads something with NFC. The only way I can find to do this is with the deprecated field Powermanager.Full_Wake_Lock.

Is there a proper way to reset the screen timeout other than this?

Use FLAG_KEEP_SCREEN_ON from here:

Also this:

Correct method for setKeepScreenOn / FLAG_KEEP_SCREEN_ON

This will keep the screen on constantly right? I only wish to reset the screen timeout the same if the phone was touched. – Chris Dec 09 '14 at 22:05
You can always try it in your code. I have yet to use it. My old projects used the Full Wake Lock when I needed this feature. – Arlyn Dec 09 '14 at 22:13
