I want to invoke the Linux Power Manage suspend and resume functionality with the power button through Android. If you take any Android phone right now, there's usually a single button (the top button on the Motorola Droid for example) that when pressed will put the device to sleep if it was awake or wake it up if it was asleep. In the sleep mode the LCD is turned off and the touchscreen doesn't respond to anything. It's basically what happens when you let the screen timeout and the device goes to sleep. The power button allows you to put the device to sleep faster, and that's the functionality I'm trying to implement. I have the power button mapped to KeyEvent.KEYCODE_POWER in my Android build, but that doesn't do anything..
