Get current app package name using Appium AndroidDriver

Question

There is method to get current activity in AndroidDriver:

driver.currentActivity()

which returns string like .MainActivity without package name. Is there any way to get full activity name or application package separately?

Unfortunately, it's not yet possible.

Because Appium is using Selenium WebDriver, WD protocol should be extended / modified for that.

This method driver.currentActivity() to get current activity based on the current page.

Use .getCapabilities() to get package name and activity name:

//return package name
driver.getCapabilities().getCapability("appPackage").toString();
//return activity name, as generic (not based on current page)
driver.getCapabilities().getCapability("appActivity").toString();

You can fire ADB Command from your code Like: adb shell cd data/app ls

Or do it programmatically

device is not directly connected when you use appium, so your solution will not work – artkoshelev Aug 14 '15 at 14:10
What do you mean by "directly connected" . – Darshan Ambhaikar Aug 14 '15 at 14:13
That means i had device cloud available through selenium grid and appium – artkoshelev Aug 14 '15 at 14:16
