Don't go by bubble activity or airlock activity.
TAKE HYDROMETER READINGS.
I have an oatmeal stout in my secondary right now. It's been in the secondary for three weeks. Bubbles have been drifting into the neck, but three days ago I took a gravity reading: 1.023. Today, I took a gravity reading: 1.023. I'm thinking it's been ready to bottle for about a week now.
You think the beer's finished? Take a hydrometer reading. Wait two to three days and take another one. If it didn't drop, then it's ready to go.
The more you know.
