I am using the following code to get the current running activity name in android.
ActivityManager am = (ActivityManager) aContext
.getSystemService(Context.ACTIVITY_SERVICE);
List<ActivityManager.RunningTaskInfo> alltasks = am
.getRunningTasks(1);
ComponentName componentInfo = alltasks.get(0).topActivity;
componentInfo.getClassName();
System.out.println("Current:"+componentInfo.getClassName());
This is working fine in all the versions below android 5.0
. But in Android 5.0 it always returning the launcher activity.
Please any one help in this because I want to make run the application in all android versions.
Prior to Android L your code will work, but from Android L onward getRunningTask will not work. You have to use getAppRunningProcess.
Check this code below -
public class DetectCalendarLaunchRunnable implements Runnable {
@Override
public void run() {
String[] activePackages;
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT > Build.VERSION_CODES.KITKAT_WATCH) {
activePackages = getActivePackages();
} else {
activePackages = getActivePackagesCompat();
}
if (activePackages != null) {
for (String activePackage : activePackages) {
if (activePackage.equals("com.google.android.calendar")) {
//Calendar app is launched, do something
}
}
}
mHandler.postDelayed(this, 1000);
}
String[] getActivePackagesCompat() {
final List<ActivityManager.RunningTaskInfo> taskInfo = mActivityManager.getRunningTasks(1);
final ComponentName componentName = taskInfo.get(0).topActivity;
final String[] activePackages = new String[1];
activePackages[0] = componentName.getPackageName();
return activePackages;
}
String[] getActivePackages() {
final Set<String> activePackages = new HashSet<String>();
final List<ActivityManager.RunningAppProcessInfo> processInfos = mActivityManager.getRunningAppProcesses();
for (ActivityManager.RunningAppProcessInfo processInfo : processInfos) {
if (processInfo.importance == ActivityManager.RunningAppProcessInfo.IMPORTANCE_FOREGROUND) {
activePackages.addAll(Arrays.asList(processInfo.pkgList));
}
}
return activePackages.toArray(new String[activePackages.size()]);
}
}
Hope this helps you :)
