Android, how to get app on foreground

I'm trying to develop a service that whenever an user opens an app my service will identify it. I'm using the files: /proc/[pid]/cgroup,/proc/[pid]/cmdline,/proc/[pid]/oom_score,/proc/[pid]/oom_score_adj to check if it's an user app running on foreground. Actually it's working but when I try to open any game the service won't recognize it all the time. (The service only identify the files (oom_score) that has the lowest value).
Example: oom_score for "com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox:interactor" is 75, but for "com.king.candycrushsaga" will be >150, so it will never be detected by the code (as it follows).
Service code:
scheduler.scheduleAtFixedRate(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
s=appManager.getAppRunningForeground();
System.out.println(s);
}
},1,2,SECONDS);
Function that gets the app running:
private ReadWriteFile readWriteFile = new ReadWriteFile();
public String getAppRunningForeground(){
int pid;
File[] files = new File("/proc").listFiles();
int lowestOomScore = Integer.MAX_VALUE;
String foregroundProcess = null;
for (File file : files) {
if (!file.isDirectory() || (!file.getName().matches(("\\d+"))))
continue;
pid = Integer.parseInt(file.getName());
try {
String cgroup = readWriteFile.read(String.format("/proc/%d/cgroup", pid));
String[] lines = cgroup.split("\n");
if (lines.length != 2)
continue;
String cpuSubsystem = lines[0];
String cpuaccctSubsystem = lines[1];
if (!cpuaccctSubsystem.endsWith(Integer.toString(pid)) || cpuSubsystem.endsWith("bg_non_interactive"))
continue;
String cmdline = readWriteFile.read(String.format("/proc/%d/cmdline", pid));
if (cmdline.contains("com.android.systemui")||cmdline.contains("com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox:interactor")) {
continue;
}
int uid = Integer.parseInt(cpuaccctSubsystem.split(":")[2].split("/")[1].replace("uid_", ""));
if (uid > 1000 && uid <= 1038)//System process
continue;
File oomScoreAdj = new File(String.format("/proc/%d/oom_score_adj", pid));
if (oomScoreAdj.canRead()) {
int oomAdj = Integer.parseInt(readWriteFile.read(oomScoreAdj.getAbsolutePath()));
if (oomAdj != 0) {
continue;
}
}
int oomscore = Integer.parseInt(readWriteFile.read(String.format("/proc/%d/oom_score", pid)));
if (oomscore < lowestOomScore) {
lowestOomScore = oomscore;
foregroundProcess = cmdline.replaceAll("\\p{Cntrl}", "");
}
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
return foregroundProcess;
}
Class that reads a file.
public class ReadWriteFile{
File file;
StringBuilder teste3 = new StringBuilder();
FileOutputStream outputStream;
public static String read(String path) throws IOException {
StringBuilder output = new StringBuilder();
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(path));
output.append(reader.readLine());
for (String line = reader.readLine(); line != null; line = reader.readLine())
output.append('\n').append(line);
reader.close();
return output.toString();
}
}
P.S: getRunningTasks is deprecated, so please, don't suggest it.

You can use UsageStatsManager class added in android api 21. See this
question raised and answered by me.
The above answer will provide you an sorted applications ArrayList, required foreground application will the first one in the ArrayList on the index number 0.
Hope this will help.

This methods help you
void checkForegroundAppCompat()
{
ActivityManager activityManager = (ActivityManager) getSystemService(Context.ACTIVITY_SERVICE);
final List<ActivityManager.RunningTaskInfo> taskInfo = activityManager.getRunningTasks(1);
final ComponentName componentName = taskInfo.get(0).topActivity;
if(!getWhiteListedPackages().contains(componentName.getPackageName()) &&
SecurityStatusManager.isAppsBlockingEnabled(this))
{
int pid = android.os.Process.getUidForName(componentName.getPackageName());
// Kill blick APP here
GRLog.w("KILL Blacklist App Package: " + componentName.getPackageName() + " with pid: " + pid);
killApp(componentName.getPackageName(), pid);
}

How to Read from text file and Store into an Array in android

Hie Friends
I am developing an android application in that text file should be generated with some numbers. and after this one by one application should call to that numbers.
For eg:
9876452125,
9876452135,
9876452115,
Mostly that text file have 8 numbers which is Separated by "," and New Line "\n"
Now I want to read From that file line by line.
My Code for read file and store to array is:
public void read(String fname)
{
BufferedReader br = null;
try
{
StringBuffer output = new StringBuffer();
String fpath = "/sdcard/" + fname + ".txt";
br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(fpath));
String line = null;
int index = 0;
String[][] num = new String[15][10];
List<String[]> collection = new ArrayList<String[]>();
while ((line = br.readLine()) != null)
{
if (index < num.length)
{
output.append(line);
// output.append("\n");
num[index] = line.split(",");
if (num.length > 0)
{
collection.add(num[index]);
}
}
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "" + collection, 5000)
.show();
index++;
}
}
catch (IOException e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
Now My problem is when I printing collection to Toast it display some random strings. I don't know why??
Does any one have proper idea or sample code for how to read from file line by line and store to Array.
Thanks allot.

If I was you I'd use a scanner. You haven't given information on how you plan to store them: for example, why you use String[][] num = new String[15][10];, but I'll give you an example of if you wanted to store each number in it's own element, and you can adjust if necessary (I am assuming there is only one newline at the end of every line in your file).
public void read(String fname) {
String fpath = "/sdcard/" + fname + ".txt";
File file = new File(fpath);
Scanner scanner = new Scanner(new FileInputStream(file));
List<String[]> collection = new ArrayList<String[]>();
while (scanner.hasNextLine()){
String line = scanner.nextLine();
String.replaceAll("\n", ""); // strip the newline
String[] myList = myString.split(",");
for (i=0; i < myList.length; i++) {
collection.add(myList[i]);
}
}
scanner.close();
}
This doesn't have any android elements in it, but like I said you can adjust as necessary to do what you specifically need it to do.

ArrayList<ArrayList<String>> myArray = new ArrayList<ArrayList<String>>();
ArrayList<String> stringArray = new ArrayList<String>();
String random = "9876452125, 9876452135, 9876452115,";
String[] splitArray = random.split(",");
for (int i = 0; i < splitArray.length; i++) {
stringArray.add(splitArray[i]);
}
myArray.add(stringArray);
// printing all values
for (int i = 0; i < myArray.size(); i++) {
for (int j = 0; j < myArray.get(i).size(); j++) {
System.out.println("values of index " + i + " are :"
+ myArray.get(i).get(j));
}
}

How do the retrieve the date of the mms from content://mms.

I did get the information on how to retrieve the text and the image for the mms sent from this link: How to Read MMS Data in Android?.
But I am not sure how to retrieve the date for the mms that was sent.
I know I have to look into content://mms and not in content://mms/part.
This is the Mothod to retrieve the mms text:
private String getMmsText(String id) {
Uri partURI = Uri.parse("content://mms/part/" + id);
InputStream is = null;
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
try {
is = getContentResolver().openInputStream(partURI);
if (is != null) {
InputStreamReader isr = new InputStreamReader(is, "UTF-8");
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(isr);
String temp = reader.readLine();
while (temp != null) {
sb.append(temp);
temp = reader.readLine();
}
}
} catch (IOException e) {
} finally {
if (is != null) {
try {
is.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
}
}
}
return sb.toString();
}
and then, in the onCreate method, I use this code to get the info:
Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(uri, null, selectionPart,
null, null);
if (cursor.moveToFirst()) {
do {
String partId = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex("_id"));
String type = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex("ct"));
if ("text/plain".equals(type)) {
String data = cursor.getString(cursor
.getColumnIndex("_data"));
if (data != null) {
// implementation of this method above
body = getMmsText(partId);
} else {
body = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex("text"));
}
}
} while (cursor.moveToNext());
}
try {
main.setText(body);
img.setImageBitmap(bitmap);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
I just want to know where can I make changes to get the date value.
Some info will be really helpful.

I'm not overly familiar with MMS's, but I'd imagine something like this would at least get you started
Cursor cursor = activity.getContentResolver().query(Uri.parse("content://mms"),null,null,null,date DESC);
count = cursor.getCount();
if (count > 0)
{
cursor.moveToFirst();
long timestamp = cursor.getLong(2);
Date date = new Date(timestamp);
String subject = cursor.getString(3);
}
It's completely untested of course, but should point you in the right direction. Hope this helps!
Edit
After doing a bit of reading, there used to be (possibly still is) a "bug" with the timestamp in MMS messages, when retrieving the data. If you end up with a silly value (like the epoch), you'll have to * 1000 before using it. Just an aside :) I.e.:
long timestamp = (cursor.getLong(2) * 1000);

Android CSV parser problem

I am having an issue while parsing a CSV file. It is only 2 rows of data with a comma separating them. Row one is a date and row 2 is a value. The date field will always have dates in it but sometimes the value is blank (or null?). When it gets to the null value I get a StringIndexOutOfBoundsException and the app crashes. I am logging each loop and can see the data but as soon as I get to a null value it stops looping and gives the error. If there are no null values then it works perfect. Here is my code:
BufferedReader buf = new BufferedReader(new StringReader(file));
String line = null;
while ((line = buf.readLine()) != null) {
try {
String date = null, value = null;
String[] RowData = line.split(",");
date = RowData[0];
value = RowData[1]; (this is the row it crashes on)
This is what the CSV looks like:
2011-08-28 09:16,8.23
2011-08-28 09:15,8.24
2011-08-28 09:14,8.26
2011-08-28 09:13,8.34
2011-08-28 09:12,
2011-08-28 09:11,10.72
2011-08-28 09:10,
2011-08-28 09:09,
the value at 09:13 is the last thing in logcat before I get the error.
This fixed it:
if(RowData.length == 2) {
date = RowData[0];
value = RowData[1];
} else {
date = RowData[0];
value = "0";
}
I wrote a 0 in the value field so later processes will not choke on the null value. Thanks for all your help guys!

You want to do this or something like it:
String date = null, value = null;
String[] RowData = line.split(",");
date = RowData[0];
if(RowData.length ==2)value = RowData[1]; (this is the row it crashes on)
Or some variation of it e.g. if(RowData.length < 2) dont attempt to read the value. Its a pretty standard thing - if you ask an array for an index of a value it doesn't have Java will crash.

Why write your own CSV parsing when you could use a library that has already been written which will do it for you? Perhaps OpenCSV would help you achieve your CSV parsing goal.

Check the length of RowData before you try to access it. It looks like split() is returning an array with a single object but you're trying to access the second object, which is indeed out of bounds.

Have you tried to check first
if (RowData[1]!=null) or possibly if (RowData[1]!="")
I don't see why that would cause your app to crash though,
it should just set value to null or ""

Fail to split downloaded txt file

I have a String that I try to split. The following code works
lsSagor = "some text\n Some more text\n More text~Text again\n Text\n text~Some text ..."
final String[] laList = lsSagor.split("~");
String[] laSaga = laList[0].split("\n");
Gives:
laSaga[0] => some text
laSaga[1] => some more text
laSaga[2] => More text
But if I download the textfile, it fails to split and gives:
laSaga[0] => "some text\n Some more text\n More text"
So it seems the first split works, but not the second.
Here is the code I use to download the file
String lsSagor = getFileFromUrl(BASEURL+"/sagor.txt");
public static String getFileFromUrl(String url)
{
InputStream content = null;
try
{
HttpGet httpGet = new HttpGet(url);
HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
// Execute HTTP Get Request
HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httpGet);
content = response.getEntity().getContent();
}
catch (Exception e)
{
//handle the exception !
}
BufferedReader rd = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(content), 4096);
String line;
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
try {
while ((line = rd.readLine()) != null) {
sb.append(line);
}
} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
try {
rd.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
return sb.toString();
}

From the documentation
I don't think you will find your string contains any newline character to split on, you would need to do
while ((line = rd.readLine()) != null) {
sb.append(line);
sb.append("\n");
}
to get that and I'm sure there is an easier way to just read it newlines and all in the first place.

Hi I think the problem is in String.split() function
Old method but work :)
public static String[] splitString(String str, char separator)
{
String[] retVal = null;
int length = str.length();
int size = 1;
int jIndx = 0;
int expressionLength = 0;
while ((jIndx = str.indexOf(separator, jIndx + 1)) != -1)
{
size++;
}
retVal = new String[size];
jIndx = 0;
char[] charArray = str.toCharArray() ;
for (int index = 0; index < length; index++)
{
if (charArray[index] == separator)
{
retVal[jIndx] = str.substring(index - expressionLength, index);
jIndx++;
expressionLength = 0;
}
else
expressionLength++;
if (index + 1 == length)
{
retVal[jIndx] = str.substring(index + 1 - expressionLength, index + 1);
}
}
return retVal;
}

This is the (not so beautiful) solution
lsSagor = "some text# Some more text# More text~Text again\n Text# text~Some text ..."
String lsSagor = getFileFromUrl(BASEURL+"/sagor.txt");
final String[] laList = lsSagor.split("~");
giAntalSagor = laList.length;
String[] laSaga = laList[0].split("#");
final String[] guiLaList = new String[giAntalSagor];
for (int i = 0; i < giAntalSagor; i++)
{
guiLaList[i] = laList[i].replaceAll("#", "\n");
}
guiLaList is used for layout with "\n" and the other list laList to get the information I wanted.
