How can I get the currently displayed screen?

I'm working on an application which will automate messages, but I can't get the messages screen.

Currently I simply invoke messages

Invoke.invokeApplication(Invoke.APP_TYPE_MESSAGES, null)

and I thought I'd be able to get the application from the application manager, but I can't seem to do that.

ApplicationManager.getVisibleApplications() is returning a number of descriptors, but they all refer to my application's name with the same processId, yet the screen stack only has one screen (the one I originally created).

I've verified that I can InvokeEvents and the messages application responds, but I'd really like to be able to read fields from the screen. Do I need to invoke messages in a different manner or am I missing how to get this screen completely?

Have you tried UiApplication.getUiApplication().getActiveScreen() ?

Yes, that returns the screen for my application, not the messages screen.

Why does it always come down to a single character?

My original problem, that messages wasn't showing after getVisibleApplications, was due to a faulty index on the array. It's there.

Now to get the Screen from the descriptor...
