ADB – Android – Getting the name of the current activity

by

I prefer parsing results of dumpsys window windows over dumpsys activity

adb shell dumpsys window windows | grep -E 'mCurrentFocus|mFocusedApp'

Keyguard or Recent tasks list used to not show up as Activities but you were able to see them with mCurrentFocus. I have explained why in this answer.
