Android Question Read all acvivity title with OS.Library.

[tc.goethe]

I want to program a service that reads out the title of an active activity. I just can not get past. I have tried the OS.Library, but I come to a conclusion. Can anyone help me? Please ....

The aim should be that at a very specific window my app comes to the foreground.
(sorry translate with google)

Dim OS As OperatingSystem     
Dim Tasks As List     
Tasks = OS.getRunningTasks(1000)
If Tasks.Size > 0 Then
          For i = 0 To Tasks.Size - 1
              Dim r As Reflector
              r.Target = Tasks.Get(i)
              Log(r.GetField("topActivity"))
              Log(r.GetField("baseActivity"))
  Next    
End If

Does this code work? Do you get any error message?

 

[tc.goethe]

The code works. I get the names of all the activity, but not the title.
Look at the log file:

** Activity (main) Create, isFirst = true **

ComponentInfo{b4a.example/b4a.example.main}
ComponentInfo{b4a.example/b4a.example.main}

ComponentInfo{com.android.launcher/com.android.launcher2.Launcher}
ComponentInfo{com.android.launcher/com.android.launcher2.Launcher}

ComponentInfo{com.android.calculator2/com.android.calculator2.Calculator}
ComponentInfo{com.android.calculator2/com.android.calculator2.Calculator}
** Activity (main) Resume **

Do you have an idea?

What is the value of Log(Tasks.Get(i)) ?

 

[tc.goethe]

Hi Erel here is the log file:
** Activity (main) Create, isFirst = true **
android.app.ActivityManager$RunningTaskInfo@40523500
android.app.ActivityManager$RunningTaskInfo@405236f0
android.app.ActivityManager$RunningTaskInfo@40523908
** Activity (main) Resume **
Open is the calculator, launcher and my app.

You can get the package name with:

r.Target = r.GetField("topActivity")
Dim pkg As String = r.RunMethod("getPackageName")

Now with get the application label with PacakgeManager.GetApplicationLabel. The activity title can be set at runtime (Activity.Text for example). This value cannot be read. At least not with these classes.

This is exactly my problem. The app changes at runtime the title. e.g. "Step1" -> "Step2" -> "Step3". My app will display additional information in "Step 3". I only read "Step 1". Do you have a solution for my problem?

 

[Erel]

I don't think that it is possible read the current title of a different app.

I thank you for your help. Then I have to try the Click event of Step 2 to read. The next challenge .....
