Android Question Checking if another app is running

[David Janse van Rensburg]

Afternoon guys

Is it possible to check if another app is running, it has no GUI and we would like to check if it is running from an app that does have a GUI.

If it is possible, how would one go about it?

Thanks
Dave

maybe with this lib?

or via tcp socket

Thanks Markus, that helps. Is one able to start an app from another app?
