Description

Currently Titanium doesn't support setting the flags on window. This is possible in native Android SDK when we add flags in the onCreate method of the window object.

Android Native Example

getWindow().addFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_SHOW_WHEN_LOCKED);

getWindow().addFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_DISMISS_KEYGUARD);

getWindow().addFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_KEEP_SCREEN_ON);

getWindow().addFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_TURN_SCREEN_ON);

This is basically required to show the message screen over the lock-screen. When a message is send to the app the message window should be shown even if the phone's screen is locked. For reference: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/WindowManager.LayoutParams.html

Test Case

   var win = Ti.UI.createWindow({backgroundColor:'white'});
   
   var b1 = Ti.UI.createButton({
   	title:'Fullscreen property',
   	top:50
   });
   
   var b2 = Ti.UI.createButton({
   	title: 'Fullscreen flag',
   	bottom:50
   });
   
   
   var l = Ti.UI.createLabel({
   	text:'No exitOnClose specified. Press back button and app should automatically exit',
   	left:10,
   	right:10,
   	color:'black'
   });
   
   win.add(l);
   win.add(b1);
   
   win.add(b2);
   
   win.open();
   
   b1.addEventListener('click',function(){
   	var nwin = Ti.UI.createWindow({
   		backgroundColor:'white',
   		fullscreen:true
   	});
   	var l1 = Ti.UI.createLabel({
   		text:'I must be fullscreen',
   		color: 'red'
   	});
   	
   	nwin.add(l1);
   	
   	nwin.open();
   });
   
   
   b2.addEventListener('click',function(){
   	var nwin2 = Ti.UI.createWindow({
   		backgroundColor:'white',
   		windowFlags:1024
   	});
   	var l2 = Ti.UI.createLabel({
   		text:'I must be fullscreen',
   		color: 'blue'
