🔍 App Activity Inspector: Real-Time Foreground Status Monitor
An essential tool for Android Developers and Reverse Engineers
Instantly displays the package name and class name of the application currently in the foreground.
Quickly inspect any active app on your device for development or debugging.
Note: Google prohibits the usage of QUERY_ALL_PACKAGES permission and AccessibilityService without a strong explanation. For that reason, the Play Store version of Current Activity won't have either of these features. While the app will still function, performance will vary.
💡 Recommendation: It is strongly recommended to use the latest Global version from Releases rather than from Play Store.
- 📱 Real-Time Tracking: View the package name and the class name of the app currently visible to the user (i.e., the top app).
- 🛠️ Development & Debugging: Quickly verify which components are launched, aid in deep-link development, and confirm third-party app interaction.
- 🔧 Reverse Engineering: Identify key components and packages in external applications for analysis.
The monitoring is made possible with two main services: PackageMonitoringService and AccessibilityMonitoringService.
-
PackageMonitoringService actively checks for app state changes in the last 10 seconds, doing this every 500ms. Each time a state change is detected and confirmed to be in foreground, the popup window is updated to inform the user.
-
AccessibilityMonitoringService complements PackageMonitoringService by actively observing window state changes. If a change is detected and confirmed not to be a System class (e.g.,
android.view.View), it immediately updates the popup window.
