Any ideas let toga android run in backgroud?

[ThinkNaive]

I wrote a tiny app downloading files. Every time the screen off, the app stops downloading (may be hang by system strategy). Are there any approaches (e.g. wake lock or play silent sound) can let it run in background? Thanks.

You shold be able to use a wake lock, like this. Notes on converting the code to Python:

• If self is your App object, then the Context on which to call getSystemService is self._impl.native.
• POWER_SERVICE can also be obtained as an attribute of the Context.
• PowerManager can be imported using from ... import ... syntax, as shown here.
