Get name of current animation state

How can I get the name of the current state in a layer on my Animator component? I realize that I can compare the name with GetCurrentAnimatorStateInfo(0).IsName("statename") but I don't want to have to run that for each state in my layer. Is it possible to simply get the name of the current state?

We can get the current playing clip name in the layer using following code

private Animator animator = GetComponent<Animator>();
private AnimatorClipInfo[] clipInfo;

public string GetCurrentClipName(){
    int layerIndex = 0;
    clipInfo = animator.GetCurrentAnimatorClipInfo(layerIndex); 
    return clipInfo[0].clip.name;
}

Let me tell you now: this is impossible. See those hundreds of tabs you have open? None of them have the answer, because you cannot get the name of a state. Period.

But all is not lost, developer, you're savvy. You know there are workarounds.

AnimationClip[] clips = anim.runtimeAnimatorController.animationClips; //this gets all your clips in your animator. ALL.
for (int i = 0; i < clips.Length; i++){
    print(clips[i].name); //you should create a list to store all of these.
}
Animator _aci = GetComponent<Animator>().GetCurrentAnimatorClipInfo(0);
List<theClassYouMadeForYourList> theListYouMade = new List <theClassYouMadeForYourList>(); //make sure you make a class for your list "theClassYouMadeForYourList"
for(int i = 0; i < theListYouMade.Count; i++){
    if(theListYouMade[i] == _aci[0].clip.name){//is the list item equal to the current clip name? Then do something
        print("doing something");
        break;
    }
}

I haven't tested this, but it should work. ;)

Using AnimatorStateInfo.IsName(string name).

AnimatorStateInfo asi = GetComponent<Animator>().GetCurrentAnimatorStateInfo(0);
if(asi.IsName("Animation State Name"))
{
    // Playing "Animation State Name" now.
}

I don't think this was possible. The only good solution I can think about is to use switch statement and nameHash like this:

Animator animator = GetComponent<Animator>();

// Get the id of all state for this object
int runId = Animator.StringToHash("Run");
int jumpId = Animator.StringToHash("Jump");

AnimatorStateInfo animStateInfo = animator.GetCurrentAnimatorStateInfo(0);

switch (animStateInfo.nameHash)
{
    case runId:
        Debug.Log("Current state is Run");
        break;
    case jumpId:
        Debug.Log("Current state is Jump");
        break;
    default:
        Debug.Log("Current state is not in this list");
        break;
}
