What do you mean with window? Have you created a floating app that draws over other apps?

yes,
and I wish that if I move to different screen, it will hide, and once I go back to my screen (main screen or such) it will show

How about when your activity pauses, you hide. On resume, you show.

I thought you meant you just wanted the standout window to show when you have a particular standard activity running. Sorry

Erel, so is there a way to know which screen I am and if there is currently open app?

Maybe with the OS library.

However if you only want to show it over your app then you should probably not create a floating app. Instead create a transparent activity.

let me try to explain again (maybe I wasn't clear)
when you turn on the phone, let say after reboot
you get screen - I call this main screen
when you scroll right / left from that screen I wish to know that so I can hide my floating window

when you click on "Candy crash" (for example) I wish to hide my window, but when you exit it, and you back to main screen, I wish to show it

I see. You only want to show it above the home screen. You might be able to find it with the OS library.
