Kotlin |Java

open class PackageInfo : Parcelable

kotlin.Any
↳	android.content.pm.PackageInfo

Overall information about the contents of a package. This corresponds to all of the information collected from AndroidManifest.xml.

Summary

Constants
static Int	INSTALL_LOCATION_AUTO Constant corresponding to auto in the android.R.attr#installLocation attribute.
static Int	INSTALL_LOCATION_INTERNAL_ONLY Constant corresponding to internalOnly in the android.R.attr#installLocation attribute.
static Int	INSTALL_LOCATION_PREFER_EXTERNAL Constant corresponding to preferExternal in the android.R.attr#installLocation attribute.
static Int	REQUESTED_PERMISSION_GRANTED Flag for requestedPermissionsFlags: the requested permission is currently granted to the application.
static Int	REQUESTED_PERMISSION_IMPLICIT Flag for requestedPermissionsFlags: the requested permission was not explicitly requested via uses-permission, but was instead implicitly requested (e.g., for version compatibility reasons).
static Int	REQUESTED_PERMISSION_NEVER_FOR_LOCATION Flag for requestedPermissionsFlags: the requested permission has declared neverForLocation in their manifest as a strong assertion by a developer that they will never use this permission to derive the physical location of the device, regardless of android.Manifest.permission#ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION and/or android.Manifest.permission#ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION being granted.

Inherited constants

From class Parcelable Int CONTENTS_FILE_DESCRIPTOR Descriptor bit used with describeContents(): indicates that the Parcelable object's flattened representation includes a file descriptor. Int PARCELABLE_WRITE_RETURN_VALUE Flag for use with writeToParcel: the object being written is a return value, that is the result of a function such as "Parcelable someFunction()", "void someFunction(out Parcelable)", or "void someFunction(inout Parcelable)". Some implementations may want to release resources at this point.

signatures

Added in API level 1
Deprecated in API level 28

var signatures: Array<Signature!>?

Deprecated: use signingInfo instead

Array of all signatures read from the package file. This is only filled in if the flag PackageManager.GET_SIGNATURES was set. A package must be signed with at least one certificate which is at position zero. The package can be signed with additional certificates which appear as subsequent entries. Note: Signature ordering is not guaranteed to be stable which means that a package signed with certificates A and B is equivalent to being signed with certificates B and A. This means that in case multiple signatures are reported you cannot assume the one at the first position to be the same across updates. Deprecated This has been replaced by the PackageInfo.signingInfo field, which takes into account signing certificate rotation. For backwards compatibility in the event of signing certificate rotation, this will return the oldest reported signing certificate, so that an application will appear to callers as though no rotation occurred.

signingInfo

Added in API level 28

var signingInfo: SigningInfo?

Signing information read from the package file, potentially including past signing certificates no longer used after signing certificate rotation. This is only filled in if the flag PackageManager.GET_SIGNING_CERTIFICATES was set. Use this field instead of the deprecated signatures field. See SigningInfo for more information on its contents.

versionCode

Added in API level 1
Deprecated in API level 28

var versionCode: Int

Deprecated: Use getLongVersionCode() instead, which includes both this and the additional versionCodeMajor attribute. The version number of this package, as specified by the <manifest> tag's versionCode attribute.

• #getLongVersionCode()

versionName
