I have an application that utilizes a sled on an iPod touch for scanning of barcodes.
I can scan barcodes and the screen updates on success of the web service call but the device doesn't see these actions as activity so the screen will dim and the device will eventually sleep even though the application is active.
I don't want to disable the normal sleep on inactivity, just have these other actions viewed as activity so the timer(s) do not time out.
I've found ways to keep the device awake indefinitely but that is not what I'm attempting to do.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
