I don't want to use power button, double tap or simulate that. I just want to disable display for some time and then turn it back on. Is this possible? Thanks.



Edit: this app does it flawlessly with root. https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-screen-backlight-off-xda-exclusive-t3037380








Objectives
1. Apps should be running in foreground thinking I'm using phone.
2. Only display module should be affected.
3. Android itself should think that the display is turned on and should play YouTube videos (though i dont want youtube.. Its just an example plz don't comment YouTube vanced)..

Possible solutions:
1. Rename display driver files (idk location).
2. Make brightness 0 (idk how to do this.. Idk default value too)

Ps: even if there is adb command plz tell me that.. Along with command to turn display on again lol

Use the game mode...it has a screen off feature...just manually add the app as a game you want to use this feature on. Even sound works...just screen turns of...helps with YouTube for free background play ?

Do u want to take picture of someone secretely??
If so then there is already an app for that which disables the screen and then u just tap anywhr on the screen whn the display is off and snap any photo/vid.
