ScreenLocked

This tool on every surface: CLI · MCP · Python · JavaScript · Go · Java · .NET

Read whether the screen is locked, or lock and unlock it. These call app_lock.

ScreenLocked​

public bool ScreenLocked()
public bool ScreenLocked(bool locked)

Whether the screen is locked.

Locks or unlocks the screen, confirmed against the device. A state rather than a power-button press: power is a toggle, so asking twice leaves the device where it started. A device with a PIN, pattern or password cannot be unlocked from outside and throws.

Examples​

Lock the screen​

device.ScreenLocked(true);

Unlock it​

device.ScreenLocked(false);
