I am able to get the usage statistics of the app using the UsgaeStatsManager like below
UsageStatsManager usm = getUsageStatsManager(context);
Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
long endTime = calendar.getTimeInMillis();
calendar.add(Calendar.DATE, -1);
long startTime = calendar.getTimeInMillis();
List<UsageStats> usageStatsList = usm.queryUsageStats(UsageStatsManager.INTERVAL_DAILY,startTime,endTime);
for (UsageStats u : usageStatsList){
Log.d(TAG, "Pkg: " + u.getPackageName() + "\t" + "ForegroundTime: "
+ u.getTotalTimeInForeground() + " milliseconds") ;
}
When I get the output then it comes like below:
Pkg:com.skype.raiderForeground used time in ms:23922
Pkg:com.google.android.youtubeForeground used time in ms:0
Pkg:com.sec.android.app.chromecustomizationsForeground used time in ms:0
Pkg:com.whatsappForeground used time in ms:1665723
.
.
.
Which is correct but I want to get this list with names of apps in more user readable format like
Pkg:skype Foreground used time in ms:23922
Pkg:youtube Foreground used time in ms:0
Pkg:whatsapp Foreground used time in ms:1665723
I am wondering if we have any api similar to api applicationInfo.loadLabel(getPackageManager()).toString(); in PackageManager which gives the user readable package name instead of technical name of package. Or, is there any other way to print the simple name of the package ?
You can use this method to get the AppName using package name
private String getAppNameFromPackage(String packageName, Context context) {
Intent mainIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MAIN, null);
mainIntent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_LAUNCHER);
List<ResolveInfo> pkgAppsList = context.getPackageManager()
.queryIntentActivities(mainIntent, 0);
for (ResolveInfo app : pkgAppsList) {
if (app.activityInfo.packageName.equals(packageName)) {
return app.activityInfo.loadLabel(context.getPackageManager()).toString();
}
}
return null;
}
You can print for loop like this,
for (UsageStats u : usageStatsList){
Log.d(TAG, "Pkg: " + getAppNameFromPackage(u.getPackageName(), context) + "\t" + "ForegroundTime: "
+ u.getTotalTimeInForeground() + " milliseconds") ;
}
It will give result like
Pkg:skype Foreground used time in ms:23922
Pkg:youtube Foreground used time in ms:0
Pkg:whatsapp Foreground used time in ms:1665723
