Hi,
I have created one app for this purpose. Do try it out! It is available at https://market.android.com/details?i...pUsageTracking
Cheers,

How exactly do you intend to define usage? Consider things like Tasker, widgets, and apps that run in the background that you use but do not interact directly with all the time. It's the same issue that was brought up with the recent Nielsen study that compared time used on the web versus time used in apps.
App usage is the time which is spent on a particular app by the user. Also, at that point the user is also directly interacting with the app. So, for that, the app needs to be on top of the Activity or App Stack.
As mentioned, the app made by me(mentioned above) tracks which app is getting used, and uses this information to come up with app usage.
Obviously, the web VS app has intensified due to the fact that the two differ in a lot of ways but also possess similarity.

@agrvaibhav, that is indeed what I was looking for.. not usage "behind the scenes," but stuff I was actually interacting with. Thank you!
@lisaleese So, you have started using it!!!
I tried the hyperlink in your reply but it said it was a dead end. What is the name of the app I would like to try it
Sent from my DROID2 GLOBAL using DroidForums
The app name is "App Usage Tracker" and market URL is https://market.android.com/details?i...pUsageTracking
When I tried searching for the app in the market with the name, I still can't see it in top 10 results. Instead u can try searching from my name "Vaibhav Agrawal"
