How can an Android Activity access the parent process window?
In Android, an Activity is a page in an application that is created and managed by its parent process. The Activity itself does not have a direct way to access the parent process window, but it can obtain information related to the parent process window through the following methods:
- Get the window object of the current Activity using the getWindow() method.
Window window = getWindow();
- Accessing some properties of the parent process window through the window object, such as its width and height.
int width = window.getAttributes().width;
int height = window.getAttributes().height;
- To obtain the window view of the parent process, you can use the getWindow().getDecorView() method.
View decorView = getWindow().getDecorView();
Please be aware:
- In order to obtain accurate window information when calling the above code in an Activity, it is necessary to do so after the onCreate() method.
- The parent process window information of Activity is set by the system when Activity starts, so it may change during the lifecycle of the Activity.
