ApplicationStartInfo


public final class ApplicationStartInfo
extends Object implements Parcelable

java.lang.Object
   ↳ android.app.ApplicationStartInfo


Describes information related to an application process's startup.

Many aspects concerning why and how an applications process was started are valuable for apps both for logging and for potential behavior changes. Reason for process start, start type, start times, throttling, and other useful diagnostic data can be obtained from ApplicationStartInfo records.

ApplicationStartInfo objects can be retrieved via: - ActivityManager#getHistoricalProcessStartReasons, which can be called during or after a application's startup. Using this method, an app can retrieve information about an in-progress app start. - ActivityManager#addApplicationStartInfoCompletionListener, which returns an ApplicationStartInfo object via a callback when the startup is complete, or immediately if requested after the startup is complete.

Summary

Constants

int LAUNCH_MODE_SINGLE_INSTANCE

The system creates the activity at the root of a new task or locates the activity on an existing task with the same affinity.

int LAUNCH_MODE_SINGLE_INSTANCE_PER_TASK

The activity can only be running as the root activity of the task, the first activity that created the task, and therefore there will only be one instance of this activity in a task; but activity can be instantiated multiple times in different tasks.

int LAUNCH_MODE_SINGLE_TASK

Same as "singleTask", except that the system doesn't launch any other activities into the task holding the instance.

int LAUNCH_MODE_SINGLE_TOP

If an instance of the activity already exists at the top of the target task, the system routes the intent to that instance through a call to its onNewIntent() method, rather than creating a new instance of the activity.

Fields

CREATOR

Added in API level 35
public static final Creator<ApplicationStartInfo> CREATOR

Public methods

describeContents

Added in API level 35
public int describeContents ()

Describe the kinds of special objects contained in this Parcelable instance's marshaled representation. For example, if the object will include a file descriptor in the output of writeToParcel(android.os.Parcel, int), the return value of this method must include the CONTENTS_FILE_DESCRIPTOR bit.

Returns
int a bitmask indicating the set of special object types marshaled by this Parcelable object instance. Value is either 0 or CONTENTS_FILE_DESCRIPTOR

getDefiningUid

Added in API level 35
public int getDefiningUid ()

Return the defining kernel user identifier, maybe different from getRealUid() and getPackageUid(), if an external service has the android:useAppZygote set to true and was bound with the flag Context.BIND_EXTERNAL_SERVICE - in this case, this field here will be the kernel user identifier of the external service provider.

Note: field will be set for any getStartupState() value.

Returns
int

getIntent

Added in API level 35
public Intent getIntent ()

The intent used to launch the application.

Note: Intent is stripped and does not include extras.

Note: field will be set for any getStartupState() value.

Returns
Intent This value may be null.

getLaunchMode

Added in API level 35
public int getLaunchMode ()

An instruction on how the activity should be launched. There are five modes that work in conjunction with activity flags in Intent objects to determine what should happen when the activity is called upon to handle an intent. Modes: LAUNCH_MODE_STANDARD LAUNCH_MODE_SINGLE_TOP LAUNCH_MODE_SINGLE_INSTANCE LAUNCH_MODE_SINGLE_TASK LAUNCH_MODE_SINGLE_INSTANCE_PER_TASK

Note: field will be set for any getStartupState() value.

Returns
int Value is LAUNCH_MODE_STANDARD, LAUNCH_MODE_SINGLE_TOP, LAUNCH_MODE_SINGLE_INSTANCE, LAUNCH_MODE_SINGLE_TASK, or LAUNCH_MODE_SINGLE_INSTANCE_PER_TASK

getPackageUid

Added in API level 35
public int getPackageUid ()

Similar to getRealUid(), it's the kernel user identifier that is assigned at the package installation time.

Note: field will be set for any getStartupState() value.

Returns
int

getPid

Added in API level 35
public int getPid ()

The process id.

Note: field will be set for any getStartupState() value.

Returns
int

getProcessName

Added in API level 35
public String getProcessName ()

The actual process name it was running with.

Note: field will be set for any getStartupState() value.

Returns
String This value cannot be null.

getRealUid

Added in API level 35
public int getRealUid ()

The kernel user identifier of the process, most of the time the system uses this to do access control checks. It's typically the uid of the package where the component is running from, except the case of isolated process, where this field identifies the kernel user identifier that this process is actually running with, while the getPackageUid() identifies the kernel user identifier that is assigned at the package installation time.

Note: field will be set for any getStartupState() value.

Returns
int

getStartType

Added in API level 35
public int getStartType ()

The state of the app at startup.

Note: field will be set for getStartupState() value STARTUP_STATE_FIRST_FRAME_DRAWN. Not guaranteed for other states.

Returns
int Value is START_TYPE_UNSET, START_TYPE_COLD, START_TYPE_WARM, or START_TYPE_HOT

getStartupState

Added in API level 35
public int getStartupState ()

Current state of startup. Can be used to determine whether the object will have additional fields added as it may be queried before all data is collected.

Note: field will always be set and available.

Returns
int Value is STARTUP_STATE_STARTED, STARTUP_STATE_ERROR, or STARTUP_STATE_FIRST_FRAME_DRAWN

getStartupTimestamps

Added in API level 35
public Map<IntegerLong> getStartupTimestamps ()

Various clock monotonic timestamps in nanoseconds throughout the startup process.

Note: different timestamps will be available for different values of getStartupState(): (Subsequent rows contain all timestamps of proceding states.) For STARTUP_STATE_STARTED, timestamp START_TIMESTAMP_LAUNCH will be available. For STARTUP_STATE_ERROR, no additional timestamps are guaranteed available. For STARTUP_STATE_FIRST_FRAME_DRAWN, timestamps START_TIMESTAMP_APPLICATION_ONCREATE, START_TIMESTAMP_BIND_APPLICATION, and START_TIMESTAMP_FIRST_FRAME will additionally be available. Timestamp START_TIMESTAMP_FULLY_DRAWN is never guaranteed to be available as it is dependant on devloper calling Activity#reportFullyDrawn.

Returns
Map<IntegerLong> This value cannot be null.

hashCode

Added in API level 35
public int hashCode ()

Returns a hash code value for the object. This method is supported for the benefit of hash tables such as those provided by HashMap.

The general contract of hashCode is:

  • Whenever it is invoked on the same object more than once during an execution of a Java application, the hashCode method must consistently return the same integer, provided no information used in equals comparisons on the object is modified. This integer need not remain consistent from one execution of an application to another execution of the same application.
  • If two objects are equal according to the equals method, then calling the hashCode method on each of the two objects must produce the same integer result.
  • It is not required that if two objects are unequal according to the equals method, then calling the hashCode method on each of the two objects must produce distinct integer results. However, the programmer should be aware that producing distinct integer results for unequal objects may improve the performance of hash tables.

Returns
int a hash code value for this object.

wasForceStopped

Added in API level 35
public boolean wasForceStopped ()

Informs whether this is the first process launch for an app since it was force-stopped for some reason. This allows the app to know if it should re-register for any alarms, jobs and other callbacks that were cleared when the app was force-stopped.

Returns
boolean true if this is the first process launch of the app after having been stopped, false otherwise.

writeToParcel

Added in API level 35
public void writeToParcel (Parcel dest, 
                int flags)

Flatten this object in to a Parcel.

Parameters
dest Parcel: This value cannot be null.

flags int: Additional flags about how the object should be written. May be 0 or Parcelable.PARCELABLE_WRITE_RETURN_VALUE. Value is either 0 or a combination of Parcelable.PARCELABLE_WRITE_RETURN_VALUE, and android.os.Parcelable.PARCELABLE_ELIDE_DUPLICATES
