I am developing an application that will be running. In this application, if the user didn't do anything in the application within X minutes, the application will show a show a popup telling user about the inactivity of app. My question is, how can I code on detecting IDLE within X minutes?

I hope you are asking about an Activity being foregrounded and there is an inactivity for some time. Assuming the same here is the approach 1) In activity onresume start a timer and associate a timertask which shows a dialog (do not forget runonUIthread) 2) override 'dispatchTouchEvent' and 'dispatchKeyEvent' and in it reset the timer
In activity onpause clean up the timer
