Appium driver to get app package name programmatically

I am using:

appiumDriver.findElement(By.id("com.XXX.keyword:id/nextButton"));

but sometimes we have debug version, so we have something like "com.XXX.keyword.debug". So I want to get package name before test runs so the tests can be independent on this.

I tried 

driver.currentActivity()

but it only returned something like ".MainActivity"

Is there any way to get package name with Appium?

Thanks a lot.

To get the current package name use following method:

driver.getCurrentPackage();

The following statement you are using will give you Activity Name.

driver.currentActivity();

You don't need package name to locate elements. Simply copy paste id without package name . eg in your case use only 'nextButton' instead of 'com.XXX.keyword:id/nextButton'
