Finding the name of the current activity from live layout inspector
Well, If you are using Android Studio Dolphin | 2021.3.1 or newer, there is no such straight way with layout inspector like the former version. However, you can find the related layout xxx.xml name,which could also help.
Touch any view, find Declared Attributes at the right panel,then shows the layout name, with which will find activty easily.
And also check this: Is there any way to track what fragment/s are visible right now?
Try the Profiler way.
adb command for listing all elements of current activity
Use this command
adb shell uiautomator dump
You will get a XML file here, an XML with the dump of current UI hierarchy
UI hierchary dumped to: /sdcard/window_dump.xml
You can then download it by accessing it from Android Studio device explorer.
Is there a way to get current activity's layout and views via adb?
Use adb shell uiautomator dump command:
Usage: uiautomator <subcommand> [options]
Available subcommands:
help: displays help message
runtest: executes UI automation tests
runtest <class spec> [options]
<class spec>: <JARS> < -c <CLASSES> | -e class <CLASSES> >
<JARS>: a list of jar files containing test classes and dependencies. If
the path is relative, it's assumed to be under /data/local/tmp. Use
absolute path if the file is elsewhere. Multiple files can be
specified, separated by space.
<CLASSES>: a list of test class names to run, separated by comma. To
a single method, use TestClass#testMethod format. The -e or -c option
may be repeated. This option is not required and if not provided then
all the tests in provided jars will be run automatically.
options:
--nohup: trap SIG_HUP, so test won't terminate even if parent process
is terminated, e.g. USB is disconnected.
-e debug [true|false]: wait for debugger to connect before starting.
-e runner [CLASS]: use specified test runner class instead. If
unspecified, framework default runner will be used.
-e <NAME> <VALUE>: other name-value pairs to be passed to test classes.
May be repeated.
-e outputFormat simple | -s: enabled less verbose JUnit style output.
dump: creates an XML dump of current UI hierarchy
dump [--verbose][file]
[--compressed]: dumps compressed layout information.
[file]: the location where the dumped XML should be stored, default is
/storage/emulated/legacy/window_dump.xml
events: prints out accessibility events until terminated
By default it dumps the views hierarchy to $EXTERNAL_STORAGE/window_dump.xml
adb shell uiautomator dump
UI hierchary dumped to: /sdcard/window_dump.xml
Usually you would want to pull that file to your PC for further processing which would be an extra step. But there is a neat trick which allows to combine dumping and pulling into a single command. Using /dev/tty as a dump destination would make a single command which would print the whole dump to the stdout:
adb exec-out uiautomator dump /dev/tty
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' standalone='yes' ?><hierarchy rotation="0"><node ...></node></hierarchy>UI hierchary dumped to: /dev/tty
get launchable activity name of package from adb
You don't need root to pull the apk files from /data/app. Sure, you might not have permissions to list the contents of that directory, but you can find the file locations of APKs with:
adb shell pm list packages -f
Then you can use adb pull:
adb pull <APK path from previous command>
and then aapt to get the information you want:
aapt dump badging <pulledfile.apk>
How to get the full name of fragments using adb shell dumpsys activity
According to the Android source, the fragment's toString() uses DebugUtils.buildShortClassTag() to print the class name.
Fragment.java
@Override
public String toString() {
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(128);
DebugUtils.buildShortClassTag(this, sb);
if (mIndex >= 0) {
sb.append(" #");
sb.append(mIndex);
}
if (mFragmentId != 0) {
sb.append(" id=0x");
sb.append(Integer.toHexString(mFragmentId));
}
if (mTag != null) {
sb.append(" ");
sb.append(mTag);
}
sb.append('}');
return sb.toString();
}
DebugUtils.java
public static void buildShortClassTag(Object cls, StringBuilder out) {
if (cls == null) {
out.append("null");
} else {
String simpleName = cls.getClass().getSimpleName();
if (simpleName == null || simpleName.isEmpty()) {
simpleName = cls.getClass().getName();
int end = simpleName.lastIndexOf('.');
if (end > 0) {
simpleName = simpleName.substring(end+1);
}
}
out.append(simpleName);
out.append('{');
out.append(Integer.toHexString(System.identityHashCode(cls)));
}
}
We can see buildShortClassTag() uses cls.getClass().getSimpleName() to print the class name.
In conclusion, we cannot get the full name of fragments unless we change Android framework's source code and build a customized OS. But this solution is not perfect because fragments in AndroidX has their own logics to print the fragment information. AndroidX libraries are packaged inside an apk and they are also obfuscated.
Get info of current visible fragment(s) in android dumpsys
Check documentation with adb shell dumpsys activity -h. You can provide a <COMP_SPEC> parameter, adb shell dumpsys activity <COMP_SPEC>. When you give the <COMP_SPEC> parameter, you get more information on the specific component, including the visible fragments and views.
Example when Android device settings are displayed:
$ adb shell dumpsys activity com.android.settings
On my device, the command output contains:
...
