[Android] Lock screen on play

Hi,

I propose the following feature: lock screen when play.
I saw this feature in another player (MX Player, I think) and it’s useful in order to avoid nervous touching of the screen (showing playing controls) or press the screen involuntarily.

I will implement in this way:

when start the play, if the user touches the screen a small padlock is shown into the corner. When the user touches the padlock for 3/5 seconds the UI will be unlocked and the normal controls are shown.

The option should be enabled by mean of a specific entry into the application settings (“Enable screen autolock”).

ciao
