[android-developers] Re: How to get the screen lock status

Thanks for your response. However, as you can see the moment the user
wake up the screen but before the user slide the lock key, I would
like to know if the phone is in this state or not. As far as I can
tell, the onVisibilityChanged will send me a "true" status as soon as
the user wake up the screen. I would like to be notified or a query
API that I can tell if the phone has been unlocked (after user slide
the lock button over).
