I made GPS Navigation app. I need to config the idle screen for use this
app each time :(
I'd need to set the screen = ON always.

I'm receiving bad user reviews too in the Store because of this (for
example, review of Jun 6 or 4, 2015)
https://uappexplorer.com/app/navigator.costales
" The only minor flaw so far is that it lets the screen dim even if screen
lock is off - it would be nice to be able to disable that."
"screem auto dims even if I change Bq phone settings."
"has no option for always on screen wich goes dark after 1 min "
" the screen turns almost down even if I set the never sleep option up"

For a video apps it would be useful too.

Best regards!

Title:
  Allow apps to keep the screen on

Status in apparmor-easyprof-ubuntu package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in ubuntu-system-settings package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in ubuntu-ui-toolkit package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in unity8 package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Support an interface in QML and HTML to allow an app to keep the
  screen on while the app is active. This has come up in several
  scenarios, such as an ebook reader, a clock in night mode.

  One solution to inhibit the screen blanking:

  Add a new dbus rule to the default template
  Provide a mediator (unity8) to control this, so it can restore the screen blanking when the app is not active or has been closed
  Prompt the user for confirmation the first time the app accesses it
  use the trust store to avoid prompts each time
  add to the System settings Other app access panel an entry for Screen or Display so the setting could be revoked
