ActivityWatcher Android is not logging in-game time for RetroArch emulator #1196

Description

@pylanderry
  • I am on the latest ActivityWatch version.

  • I have searched the issues of this repo and believe that this is not a duplicate.

  • OS name and version: Android 13

  • ActivityWatch version: 0.12.1b5

Describe the bug

ActivityWatch does not register in-game activity from the retro emulation app RetroArch. Activity does appear to log successfully when using the RetroArch frontend menus, but it doesn't log time once a game has been initialized.

To Reproduce

  1. Install RetroArch for Android
  2. Download an emulation core (I tried with mGBA and snes9x for GBA and SNES games respectively)
  3. Launch a game and play for some amount of time
  4. Open ActivityWatch and view the timeline, where the in-game time will not have been tracked

Expected behavior

I would have expected the time spent in-game to appear as "RetroArch" in ActivityWatcher
