Added in API level 8

static val FLAG_EXTERNAL_STORAGE: Int

Value for flags: Set to true if the application is currently installed on external/removable/unprotected storage. Such applications may not be available if their storage is not currently mounted. When the storage it is on is not available, it will look like the application has been uninstalled (its .apk is no longer available) but its persistent data is not removed.

Ordinarily, during a full system restore operation each application is shut down following execution of its agent's onRestore() method. Setting this attribute to false prevents this. Most applications will not need to set this attribute.

If android:allowBackup is set to false or no android:backupAgent is specified, this flag will be ignored.

Comes from the android:killAfterRestore attribute of the <application> tag.

Value: 65536

FLAG_LARGE_HEAP

Added in API level 11

static val FLAG_LARGE_HEAP: Int

Value for flags: true when the application has requested a large heap for its processes. Corresponds to android:largeHeap.

FLAG_MULTIARCH

Added in API level 21

static val FLAG_MULTIARCH: Int

The system might treat such applications specially, for eg., by extracting the application's native libraries for all supported instruction sets or by compiling the application's dex code for all supported instruction sets.

Value: -2147483648

Value for flags: Set to true if the application's backup agent claims to be able to handle restore data even "from the future," i.e. from versions of the application with a versionCode greater than the one currently installed on the device. Use with caution! By default this attribute is false and the Backup Manager will ensure that data from "future" versions of the application are never supplied during a restore operation.

If android:allowBackup is set to false or no android:backupAgent is specified, this flag will be ignored.

Comes from the android:restoreAnyVersion attribute of the <application> tag.

Value: 131072

FLAG_STOPPED

Added in API level 12

static val FLAG_STOPPED: Int

Value for flags: true if this application's package is in the stopped state.

Stopped is the initial state after an app is installed, before it is launched or otherwise directly interacted with by the user. The system tries not to start it unless initiated by a user interaction (typically launching its icon from the launcher, could also include user actions like adding it as an app widget, selecting it as a live wallpaper, selecting it as a keyboard, etc). Stopped applications will not receive implicit broadcasts unless the sender specifies android.content.Intent#FLAG_INCLUDE_STOPPED_PACKAGES.

Applications should avoid launching activities, binding to or starting services, or otherwise causing a stopped application to run unless initiated by the user.

An app can also return to the stopped state by a "force stop".

Value: 4194304

FLAG_SUPPORTS_SCREEN_DENSITIES

Added in API level 4
Deprecated in API level 30

static val FLAG_SUPPORTS_SCREEN_DENSITIES: Int

Value for flags: true if this application's package is in the suspended state.

Value: 1073741824

FLAG_SYSTEM

Added in API level 1

static val FLAG_SYSTEM: Int

Value for flags: if set, this application is installed in the device's system image. This should not be used to make security decisions. Instead, rely on signature checks or permissions.

Warning: Note that this flag does not behave the same as android:protectionLevel system or signatureOrSystem.

Value: 1

FLAG_TEST_ONLY

Added in API level 4

static val FLAG_TEST_ONLY: Int

Value for flags: this is set if the application has specified android:testOnly to be true.

Value: 256

static val FLAG_UPDATED_SYSTEM_APP: Int

Value for flags: this is set if this application has been installed as an update to a built-in system application.

Value: 128

FLAG_USES_CLEARTEXT_TRAFFIC

Added in API level 23

static val FLAG_USES_CLEARTEXT_TRAFFIC: Int

Value for flags: true if the application may use cleartext network traffic (e.g., HTTP rather than HTTPS; WebSockets rather than WebSockets Secure; XMPP, IMAP, SMTP without STARTTLS or TLS). If false, the app declares that it does not intend to use cleartext network traffic, in which case platform components (e.g., HTTP stacks, DownloadManager, MediaPlayer) will refuse app's requests to use cleartext traffic. Third-party libraries are encouraged to honor this flag as well.

NOTE: WebView honors this flag for applications targeting API level 26 and up.

This flag is ignored on Android N and above if an Android Network Security Config is present.
