Eclipse RCP: boolean variable to check a View active or not

I want to have a Boolean variable that is true if a view has already been activated in the RCP GUI, otherwise false.

I tried the following code: 

        IViewPart view = PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getActiveWorkbenchWindow().getActivePage().findView("view.id");

        if (view != null){
            System.out.println("View Active");
        }

But it returns a view even though it has not been activated in the GUI.

findView should return null if view has not been created at all. If by 'active' you mean brought up to front/visible currently, try using IWorkbenchPage.isPartVisible

Try finding a view reference, without trying to restore the view, like this:

IViewReference viewReference = PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getActiveWorkbenchWindow().getActivePage().findViewReference("view.id");

if (viewReference.getView(false) != null) {
    System.out.println("View Active");
}
