Data

The data is fetched from UsageStatsManager's queryEvents function.

Permissions

To use UsageStatsManager, the Manifest.permission.PACKAGE_USAGE_STATS permission is required.

Accuracy

The data should probably be accurate on most devices but I did experience a few abnormalities in the usage events of some devices. For instance, some ACTIVITY_PAUSE events without their corresponding ACTIVITY_RESUME events (which the app ignores).

App distribution

Hi I want to publish this app on the Google play store
According to the license I can do that but still want to ask you.... should I do that ?

Using app

Hii bro
I want to ask am I free to use the source code of this app or do I have to follow some guidelines ?

Getting wrong sessions/stats for some applications

I could find some applications for which the getSessions() in AppUsageManager.kt gives Session object starting from midnight i.e from 00:00:00 to a time from where the actual first session started which is the subsequent session in the sessions list.

This causes the overall usage time to be much more than what it actually is and gives the wrong session info as well..

For reference, I am attaching some screenshots,

I believe this is due to the fact that we consider 'startTime' for events that are not initialized as 'timeStart' - I will test some more and put my observations here, meanwhile please check if you are getting the same issue as well.

                      UsageEvents.Event.ACTIVITY_PAUSED -> { // same as MOVE_TO_BACKGROUND
                                    // end time
                                    if(startTime == 0L) {
                                        if(!isInitialized) {
                                            startTime = timeStart
                                            endTime = event.timeStamp
                                        }
                                    } else {
                                        endTime = event.timeStamp
                                    }
                                }

I appreciate your time and effort put in this project, Thanks for this project.
