How to get Activity Waiting Time from ActivityManager on app launching?

Question

I'm using ADB to show Waiting Time Activity on launching app, the command I used is : adb shell am start -S -W com.example.app/.MainActicity -c android.intent.category.LAUNCHER -a android.intent.action.MAIN here's the result :

So, my question is how to get programmatically the waitTime value ? thanks.

maybe some filtering on the output given by your `adb shell am start` command? — Lino, Jan 03 '20 at 22:13
why? you can redirect the output to a file (at least in linux/macos.. but I expect on Windows as well) and based on that filter the info you need — Lino, Jan 03 '20 at 22:31
Yes, it's good idea, but i want to know if there's a way to do it programmatically. — Abderazak Amiar, Jan 03 '20 at 22:53
anyway, the aim is to get this value programmatically if it's possible, else i try your proposition. — Abderazak Amiar, Jan 03 '20 at 22:54

As suggested in the comments sections, having a Linux-based terminal you can retrieve the WaitTime programmatically by parsing the output of the the am start command and filtering the value like this:

adb shell am start -S -W "com.example.abder.emarque/.Activities.EMarque" -c android.intent.category.LAUNCHER 
-a android.intent.action.MAIN | grep -i waittime | cut -d' ' -f2

3813

whereas grep -i waittime filters the line containing the waittime and the cut command retrieves the value itself.

Hope this helps.
