Android Question Knowing in which window I am

[Shay]

Hi

is there a way to know in which window I am
meaning if I am in main screen, or user slide to other window
or user moved to applications windows?
also if user in some app window
my goal is to hide my float screen if someone open some app, or moved from main screen

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

 

[Shay]

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.

 

[Shay]

this is standout service, I don't think it is possible / never pause

 

[barx]

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

 

[Shay]

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

 

[Erel]

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.

 

[Shay]

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.
