Lock Screen + Connection

Support
1

I need to lock/unlock my app screen for tests (Android app).

I saw there is a method lockScreen() but i can’t find proper documation -
calling driver.lockScreen() isn’t working.

Does lockScreen() deprecated? and if so, is there any alternative?

Also - Is there a way to enable/disable connection using Appium? (also Android app)

Thanks.

@shani
there are:

        ((AndroidDriver) driver).lockDevice();
        ((AndroidDriver) driver).unlockDevice();

they both send adb command to device. check your appium logs what is actually sending to device.

The unlockDevice doesn’t work in our case
