Which launcher is running?
private String findLauncherPackageName(){
final Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MAIN);
intent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_HOME);
final ResolveInfo res = getPackageManager().resolveActivity(intent, 0);
Log.e("ANDRO_ASYNC", String.format("findLauncherPackageName()%s",res.activityInfo.packageName));
return res.activityInfo.packageName;
}
The home screen is started with the Intent
ACTION_MAIN
with category CATEGORY_HOME
(from the javadoc for Intent
). Use a ResolveInfo
to this intent to know what application will start.
This will give you the default Home application:
final Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MAIN);
intent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_HOME);
final ResolveInfo res = getPackageManager().resolveActivity(intent, 0);
if (res.activityInfo == null) {
// should not happen. A home is always installed, isn't it?
} else if ("android".equals(res.activityInfo.packageName)) {
// No default selected
} else {
// res.activityInfo.packageName and res.activityInfo.name gives you the default app
}
Now, if you want to know which one is running, it will take more time, because ActivityManager is slow:
// instead of the best, query all activities that match:
final List<ResolveInfo> list = ((PackageManager)getPackageManager()).queryIntentActivities(intent, 0);
// TODO from there, use ActivityManager to know which one is running and is in the list
