Hi,

You can use trigger Activity Started to detect activities. You can add an action Notification on Screen: {package_name}/{activity_class} to show the component name.

Regards,
Martin

Alternative method, since you have root, you can use dumpsys command. Martin's solution works. But in case you don't want it to be triggered everytime you open other app and only want it to be trigger manually, dumpsys method will be more suitable. Use trigger Hardware Key event and choose your key. Then add execute root command

Code: Select all

dumpsys window windows | grep -E 'mCurrentFocus'
Then use regex in script to get the package name, app name and the activity.

Code: Select all

find = findAll(stdout, ' mCurrentFocus=Window\\{.* u\\d (.*)/(.*)\\}', true);
pn = find[0][1]; //package name
act = find[0][2];  //activity class
app = getAppName(pn); //app name
