Get Current Focused Window Name using AndroidViewClient

Question

I am using AndroidViewClient for testing my android application. I need to access name of current focused window. How can I get it?

Answer 1

It's a bit tricky but can be done. The information about the windows and focus is internally maintained by the Views under some conditions.

You may try something like this (choose any view you have):

...
vc = ViewClient(device, serialno, **kwargs2)
vc.dump(window='-1')
no_id1 = vc.findViewByIdOrRaise("id/no_id/1")
no_id1.useUiAutomator = False    # this forces getting windows info
no_id1.getXY()                   # this gets windows info
print no_id1.windows[no_id1.currentFocus]
