Hi all, Is there a way to find out what is on the screen at any given point in time? In a broadcast receiver, I would like to determine if a specific activity is onscreen. Is it possible?
In that activity I have a button that is assigned two different functions and is labeled with text to match that function, based on current state... Because of some code in the receiver (a preference change) the button action in that activity would change and would not do what it says. The receiver displays a notification, but I would like to do a little bit more to help my user in this context. If the receiver executes when one of my Activities is running I want to show a toast to alert the user in addition to displaying the standard notification on the top left. Maybe I could update the Activity screen with the notification to reflect the proper state. Can I do any of that? Is there a way for my receiver to determine if a specific Activity within my application is running? I don't think it is possible to get that information, but I wanted to ask you all. This is a corner case and my users really should notice the notification. If not, the Activity has clear visual feedback to the button press that shows the user what the button did (since it did not do what was expected). The ActivityManager and WindowManager do not seem to offer this level of detail. Please share any insights you might have. Thanks and regards, Beth
