Are you using action control ui to display the recents menu? I don't think there's anyway to count the number of items displayed. What are you trying to accomplish?

i'm trying to clear app list, i need to stop the flow if there is no app on the list, list is empty while flow still running.

i don't know how to create condition so the flow stop after all app on the list is closed.

Thank You.

Hi,

I'm not sure if there's a way to get the number of apps in the recents list, maybe with trigger UI Event, but it could be tricky.
On a regular Lollipop recents list (Google ROM) you could click the dismiss buttons as long as the click function returns true which means that the button was successfully clicked.
A script in Control UI could look like this (timing might need some adjustments):

Code: Select all

recents();
sleep(2000);
while(click("Dismiss *"))
{
    sleep(1000);
}

Martin
