Android Question Monitoring the execution time of another app

[Giovanni Raco]

I tryed a programming an app for monitoring the execution time of another app. I search into forum but not found a correct way. I write this code

Dim lstname,lstpid, lstnamepid, lstret As List
lstname.Initialize
lstpid.Initialize
lstnamepid.Initialize
lstret=OS.RunningAppProcessInfo(lstname,lstpid,lstnamepid)
Dim i As Int
For i = 0 To lstname.Size - 1
If lstname.Get(i) = "com.twitter.android" Then
Counter=Counter+1
.....

The problem is, when the twitter application is in Pause state of activity, the RunningAppProcessInfo found the process. Exist a way for monitoring or intercept the Activity main state for the app of monitoring ??

Android is pretty restrictive in this field. You might be possible to find foreground apps with a custom library. See the code here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/...-a-background-task-or-service/5528441#5528441
