Our application requires the terminal to be passed between an employee and customer, where the pressing of the power button can be easily done by accident. This question is compound;
1) Is there a broadcast that the power button is pressed? Standard onKeyPress does not work, as the button does not appear to identify as a PowerButton.
2) We use Customer Mode, is there a way to prevent the power button from turning the screen off?
1. There are a few ideas here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/25832380/android-detect-pressing-on-power-key. It'd help to know what you want to do that. I could speculate that you want to try and turn the screen back on when it's turned off. That might work, but could also depend on how the foreground app handles it.
2. No that is not possible. Customer mode will keep the screen from locking.
Unfortunately I cannot capture the broadcast, because it doesn't get sent (tried same idea you posted). Could be that the button is not a true power button. Camera button works, that one didn't.
