Detecting when user presses sleep/wake button

[tmeehan]

Does anyone know if there is a way to detect or be notified when the user physically presses the sleep/wake button. I would like to take some power saving steps if I know the user specifically pressed the sleep button as opposed to the idle timer kicking in. Any clues would help tremendously. Thanks.

Check out

-(void)applicationWillResignActive:(UIApplication *)UIApplicationWillResignActiveNotification{
}

in the developer documentation.

Thanks for the lead. It appears, however, that I get the same notification whether the system initiates the sleep or the user presses the sleep/lock button on the phone. I need to find a way to differentiate between the two. Any ideas?

Did you find an answer to this?

Hi tmeehan,
any news on this? I'm especially interested in knowing, if it is possible to get the notification as well, if system is in SLEEP mode and you push the sleep/lock button. Any experience on this?

Cheers
