Changing screen brightness programmatically (as with the power widget)

by

This is the complete code I found to be working:

Settings.System.putInt(this.getContentResolver(),
        Settings.System.SCREEN_BRIGHTNESS, 20);

WindowManager.LayoutParams lp = getWindow().getAttributes();
lp.screenBrightness =0.2f;// 100 / 100.0f;
getWindow().setAttributes(lp);

startActivity(new Intent(this,RefreshScreen.class));

The code from my question does not work because the screen doesn’t get refreshed. So one hack on refreshing the screen is starting dummy activity and than in on create of that dummy activity to call finish() so the changes of the brightness take effect.
