Is it possible to override the functionality of the android power button ? I want to 'disable' the power button. My plan is to override the functionality of this button to do nothing ( {}; ) Well my main idea is to disable the turning the screen off.

I want when someone press the power button nothing to happen.

How can I do this ?

Fortunately, this is not possible, except perhaps via custom firmware.
