List and switch visible application

alt text http://img195.imageshack.us/img195/7003/applist.png link text http://img32.imageshack.us/img32/9273/applistmenu.png

Code: 

class Scr extends MainScreen {

    ApplicationDescriptor[] mAppDes;

    public Scr() {
        listApplications();
    }

    void listApplications() {
        ApplicationManager appMan = 
            ApplicationManager.getApplicationManager();
        mAppDes = appMan.getVisibleApplications();
        add(new LabelField("Visible Applications:"));
        for (int i = 0; i < mAppDes.length; i++) {
            boolean isFG = appMan.getProcessId(mAppDes[i]) == appMan
                    .getForegroundProcessId();
            String text = (isFG ? "[F]:" : "[B]") + mAppDes[i].getName();
            add(new LabelField(text));
        }
    }

    protected void makeMenu(Menu menu, int instance) {
        super.makeMenu(menu, instance);
        menu.add(refreshApps);
        makeAppMenuItems(menu);
    }

    MenuItem refreshApps = new MenuItem("Refresh", 0, 0) {
        public void run() {
            deleteAll();
            listApplications();
        }
    };

    class AppMenuItem extends MenuItem {
        ApplicationDescriptor mAppDes;
        public AppMenuItem(ApplicationDescriptor appDes) {
            super(appDes.getName(), 100000, 100000);
            mAppDes = appDes;
        }
        public void run() {
            ApplicationManager appMan = ApplicationManager
                    .getApplicationManager();
            int processId = appMan.getProcessId(mAppDes);
            appMan.requestForeground(processId);
        }
    }

    void makeAppMenuItems(Menu menu) {
        for (int i = 0, cnt = mAppDes.length; i < cnt; i++)
            menu.add(new AppMenuItem(mAppDes[i]));
    }
}

Take a look at the API Reference for the RuntimeStore.

And a Knowledge Base entry how to switch an App to the Background/Foreground.

Good Luck!

Not really an answer, but the system won't let me comment.

Do you really need to know what the running background applications are, or just if your applications are running in the background. If the latter I imagine you can build something using the runtime store
