Android Question Get current running app

[Multiverse app]

I want to retrieve the Package ID of current running foreground app from a service.
Is it possible?

It is not possible in newer versions of Android.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply.

It is not possible in newer versions of Android.

Then how do many 3rd party app locks intercept an app launch? (Many work in android 7.0 too)

I correct myself based on this answer: https://stackoverflow.com/questions...intent-when-the-user-open-another-application

You can use this library on Android 5+: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/usagestatsmanager.72377/#content

Thanks, Erel
I used this code:

Dim usm As UsageStatsManager
    usm.Initialize("")

    Dim starttime As Long
    Dim a, b As Long
    a = DateTime.TimeParse(DateTime.Time(DateTime.Now))
    b = 5 * DateTime.TicksPerSecond
    Dim orario As String = DateTime.Time( a - b )
    starttime = DateTime.TimeParse(orario)
    'starttime = DateTime.Now
    Dim endtime As Long
    endtime = DateTime.Now
  
  
    Dim usage1 As List = usm.queryUsageStats(starttime,endtime)

If usage1.Size>0 Then
    For i=0 To usage1.Size-1
    Dim us As UsageStats = usage1.Get(i)
    If us.PackageName="com.android.camera" Then LogColor(us.LastTimeUsed, Colors.Blue)
    Next
End If

The above prints on log if 'Camera' App is currently launched.
