Prevent screen lock on dimming/standby while using android app?

Question

I'm developing an application and the last touch I need to put on it is preventing the screen to lock when the device goes into standby (screen off). The exact behavior as Google Navigation. I'm wondering what, programatically I will have to use to keep this feature enable the entire time while using the app?

Accepted Answer

writing the following code to your xml file will prevent the screen from locking

```
android:keepScreenOn="true"
```
