How to get a list of the activity history stack?

Question

I\'m struggling with an issue in my app. I\'d like to provide a way to list the history of the previous opened activities.

I think there are two potential solutions

Answer 1

Using ADB commands:

1. adb shell dumpsys activity activities  -> displays list of activities in back stack

2. adb shell dumpsys activity process  -> displays list process in back stack

3. adb shell dumpsys activity intents  -> displays list of pending intents in back stack

4. adb shell dumpsys activity broadcast  -> displays list of broadcast in back stack

5. adb shell dumpsys activity services  -> displays list of services running in back stack

Using Activity manager:

 ActivityManager m = (ActivityManager) ctx.getSystemService( ctx.ACTIVITY_SERVICE );
    List runningTaskInfoList =  m.getRunningTasks(10);
    Iterator itr = runningTaskInfoList.iterator();
    while(itr.hasNext()){
        RunningTaskInfo runningTaskInfo = (RunningTaskInfo)itr.next();
        int id = runningTaskInfo.id;
        CharSequence desc= runningTaskInfo.description;
        int numOfActivities = runningTaskInfo.numActivities;
        String topActivity = runningTaskInfo.topActivity.getShortClassName();
}
