Is there any way to test the Power Management features like WakeLock on the android emulator?

Is there any way to to emulate the power management features in order to test something like a WakeLock on the android emulator? This would be in case of temporarily being unable to test on a real device and to ease debugging.

Maybe this makes no sense, but I thought it might be worth asking people out there who probably know a lot more about this and can give me a definite NO if that is the case or a YES and guide me as to how.

Thanks

Hey, a similar issue arose this week for us. I think I found what it was.

For us, the issue was a setting in the emulator.

Go to:

Settings -> Applications -> Development -> Stay awake (This way, the screen will never sleep while charging)

I guess in the emulator's case it behaves like it is always charging and therefore the screen never locks even if you change values in: "Settings -> Display -> Screen timeout" which is what we were unsuccessfully doing.

Hope that this helps!

WakeLock should work the same way on the emulator as on a hardware device. maybe if you could be more specific as to what you're trying to test?
