Note that the only thing listed there that is part of the SDK is getRunningAppProcesses(). Using the "top" command is not part of the SDK, and you should expect such code to break.
Also both of these are pretty wretched things to do, since they require retrieving a parsing a bunch of information. Beyond that writing code that does polling for information is strongly discouraged, using polling to retrieve this information is even more undesirable. The platform deliberately does not provide easy mechanisms to do this, because monitoring what the user is doing is not something to encourage. You haven't said why you want to do this, but I would discourage you from whatever path you are going down here. On Tue, Jun 26, 2012 at 5:53 AM, Francisco M.
