Added in API level 31
static val INSTALL_SCENARIO_BULK: Int

Installation scenario indicating a bulk operation with the desired result of a fully optimized application. If the system is busy or resources are scarce the system will perform less work to avoid impacting system health. Examples of bulk installation scenarios might include device restore, background updates of multiple applications, or user-triggered updates for all applications. The decision to use BULK or BULK_SECONDARY should be based on the desired user experience. BULK_SECONDARY operations may take less time to complete but, when they do, will produce less optimized applications. The device state (e.g. memory usage or battery status) should not be considered when making this decision as those factors are taken into account by the Package Manager when acting on the installation scenario.

Value: 2

INSTALL_SCENARIO_BULK_SECONDARY

Added in API level 31
static val INSTALL_SCENARIO_BULK_SECONDARY: Int

Installation scenario indicating a bulk operation that prioritizes minimal system health impact over application optimization. The application may undergo additional optimization if the system is idle and system resources are abundant.

MATCH_DIRECT_BOOT_AUTO

Added in API level 29
static val MATCH_DIRECT_BOOT_AUTO: Int

Querying flag: automatically match components based on their Direct Boot awareness and the current user state.

Since the default behavior is to automatically apply the current user state, this is effectively a sentinel value that doesn't change the output of any queries based on its presence or absence.

Instead, this value can be useful in conjunction with android.os.StrictMode.VmPolicy.Builder#detectImplicitDirectBoot() to detect when a caller is relying on implicit automatic matching, instead of confirming the explicit behavior they want, using a combination of these flags: 

Value: 268435456

MATCH_DIRECT_BOOT_AWARE

Added in API level 24
static val MATCH_DIRECT_BOOT_AWARE: Int

Querying flag: match components which are direct boot aware in the returned info, regardless of the current user state.

When neither MATCH_DIRECT_BOOT_AWARE nor MATCH_DIRECT_BOOT_UNAWARE are specified, the default behavior is to match only runnable components based on the user state. For example, when a user is started but credentials have not been presented yet, the user is running "locked" and only MATCH_DIRECT_BOOT_AWARE components are returned. Once the user credentials have been presented, the user is running "unlocked" and both MATCH_DIRECT_BOOT_AWARE and MATCH_DIRECT_BOOT_UNAWARE components are returned.

Value: 524288

MATCH_DIRECT_BOOT_UNAWARE

Added in API level 24
static val MATCH_DIRECT_BOOT_UNAWARE: Int

Querying flag: match components which are direct boot unaware in the returned info, regardless of the current user state.

When neither MATCH_DIRECT_BOOT_AWARE nor MATCH_DIRECT_BOOT_UNAWARE are specified, the default behavior is to match only runnable components based on the user state. For example, when a user is started but credentials have not been presented yet, the user is running "locked" and only MATCH_DIRECT_BOOT_AWARE components are returned. Once the user credentials have been presented, the user is running "unlocked" and both MATCH_DIRECT_BOOT_AWARE and MATCH_DIRECT_BOOT_UNAWARE components are returned.

Value: 32768

MATCH_SYSTEM_ONLY

Added in API level 24
static val MATCH_SYSTEM_ONLY: Int

Querying flag: include only components from applications that are marked with ApplicationInfo#FLAG_SYSTEM.

Value: 1048576

MATCH_UNINSTALLED_PACKAGES

Added in API level 24

PROPERTY_COMPAT_OVERRIDE_LANDSCAPE_TO_PORTRAIT

Added in API level 34
static val PROPERTY_COMPAT_OVERRIDE_LANDSCAPE_TO_PORTRAIT: String

Application level PackageManager for an app to inform the system that the app can be opted-in or opted-out from the compatibility treatment that rotates camera output by 90 degrees on landscape sensors on devices known to have compatibility issues.

The treatment is disabled by default but device manufacturers can enable the treatment using their discretion to improve camera compatibility. With this property set to false, the rotation will not be applied. A value of true will ensure that rotation is applied, provided it is enabled for the device. In most cases, if rotation is the desired behavior this property need not be set. However, if your app experiences stretching or incorrect rotation on these devices, explicitly setting this to true may resolve that behavior. Apps should set this to false if there is confidence that the app handles android.hardware.camera2.CameraCharacteristics#SENSOR_ORIENTATION correctly. See the documentation for best practice.

Syntax: 

<application>
    <property
      android:name="android.camera.PROPERTY_COMPAT_OVERRIDE_LANDSCAPE_TO_PORTRAIT"
      android:value="true|false"/>
  </application>

Starting from Android 14, usage of some network capabilities in android.net.ConnectivityManager#requestNetwork require the application to declare its usage of that particular capability in this resource. Only some capabilities require a declaration. Please look up the specific capability you want to use in android.net.NetworkCapabilities to see if it needs declaration in this property. For example: <application> <property android:name="android.net.PROPERTY_SELF_CERTIFIED_NETWORK_CAPABILITIES" android:resource="@xml/self_certified_network_capabilities"> <application>

The detail format of self_certified_network_capabilities.xml is described in android.net.NetworkRequest

Deprecated: Do not instantiate or subclass - obtain an instance from Context#getPackageManager

Public methods

addPackageToPreferred

Added in API level 1
Deprecated in API level 15
abstract fun addPackageToPreferred(packageName: String): Unit

Deprecated: This function no longer does anything. It is the platform's responsibility to assign preferred activities and this cannot be modified directly. To determine the activities resolved by the platform, use #resolveActivity or #queryIntentActivities. To configure an app to be responsible for a particular role and to check current role holders, see android.app.role.RoleManager.

Parameters
packageName String: This value cannot be null.

addPermission

Added in API level 1
abstract fun addPermission(info: PermissionInfo): Boolean

Add a new dynamic permission to the system. For this to work, your package must have defined a permission tree through the <permission-tree> tag in its manifest. A package can only add permissions to trees that were defined by either its own package or another with the same user id; a permission is in a tree if it matches the name of the permission tree + ".": for example, "com.foo.bar" is a member of the permission tree "com.foo".

It is good to make your permission tree name descriptive, because you are taking possession of that entire set of permission names. Thus, it must be under a domain you control, with a suffix that will not match any normal permissions that may be declared in any applications that are part of that domain.

New permissions must be added before any .apks are installed that use those permissions. Permissions you add through this method are remembered across reboots of the device. If the given permission already exists, the info you supply here will be used to update it.

Parameters
info PermissionInfo: Description of the permission to be added. This value cannot be null.
Return
Boolean Returns true if a new permission was created, false if an existing one was updated.
Exceptions
java.lang.SecurityException if you are not allowed to add the given permission name.

addPermissionAsync

Added in API level 8
abstract fun addPermissionAsync(info: PermissionInfo): Boolean

Like addPermission(android.content.pm.PermissionInfo) but asynchronously persists the package manager state after returning from the call, allowing it to return quicker and batch a series of adds at the expense of no guarantee the added permission will be retained if the device is rebooted before it is written.

Parameters
info PermissionInfo: This value cannot be null.

addPreferredActivity

Added in API level 1
Deprecated in API level 15
abstract fun addPreferredActivity(
    filter: IntentFilter, 
    match: Int, 
    set: Array<ComponentName!>?, 
    activity: ComponentName
): Unit

Deprecated: This function no longer does anything. It is the platform's responsibility to assign preferred activities and this cannot be modified directly. To determine the activities resolved by the platform, use #resolveActivity or #queryIntentActivities. To configure an app to be responsible for a particular role and to check current role holders, see android.app.role.RoleManager.

Add a new preferred activity mapping to the system. This will be used to automatically select the given activity component when Context.startActivity() finds multiple matching activities and also matches the given filter.

Parameters
filter IntentFilter: The set of intents under which this activity will be made preferred. This value cannot be null.
match Int: The IntentFilter match category that this preference applies to.
set Array<ComponentName!>?: The set of activities that the user was picking from when this preference was made. This value may be null.
activity ComponentName: The component name of the activity that is to be preferred. This value cannot be null.

addWhitelistedRestrictedPermission

Added in API level 29
open fun addWhitelistedRestrictedPermission(
    packageName: String, 
    permName: String, 
    whitelistFlags: Int
): Boolean

Adds a whitelisted restricted permission for an app.

Permissions can be hard restricted which means that the app cannot hold them or soft restricted where the app can hold the permission but in a weaker form. Whether a permission is restricted or soft restricted depends on the permission declaration. Whitelisting a hard restricted permission allows for the to hold that permission and whitelisting a soft restricted permission allows the app to hold the permission in its full, unrestricted form.

    There are four whitelists:
  1. one for cases where the system permission policy whitelists a permission This list corresponds to the FLAG_PERMISSION_WHITELIST_SYSTEM flag. Can only be modified by pre-installed holders of a dedicated permission.
  2. one for cases where the system whitelists the permission when upgrading from an OS version in which the permission was not restricted to an OS version in which the permission is restricted. This list corresponds to the FLAG_PERMISSION_WHITELIST_UPGRADE flag. Can be modified by pre-installed holders of a dedicated permission. The installer on record can only remove permissions from this whitelist.
  3. one for cases where the installer of the package whitelists a permission. This list corresponds to the FLAG_PERMISSION_WHITELIST_INSTALLER flag. Can be modified by pre-installed holders of a dedicated permission or the installer on record.

You need to specify the whitelists for which to set the whitelisted permissions which will clear the previous whitelisted permissions and replace them with the provided ones.

Note: In retrospect it would have been preferred to use more inclusive terminology when naming this API. Similar APIs added will refrain from using the term "whitelist".

Parameters
packageName String: The app for which to get whitelisted permissions. This value cannot be null.
permName String: The whitelisted permission to add. This value cannot be null.
whitelistFlags Int: The whitelists to which to add. Passing multiple flags updates all specified whitelists. Value is either 0 or a combination of android.content.pm.PackageManager#FLAG_PERMISSION_WHITELIST_SYSTEM, android.content.pm.PackageManager#FLAG_PERMISSION_WHITELIST_INSTALLER, and android.content.pm.PackageManager#FLAG_PERMISSION_WHITELIST_UPGRADE
Return
Boolean Whether the permission was added to the whitelist.
Exceptions
java.lang.SecurityException if you try to modify a whitelist that you have no access to.

canPackageQuery

Added in API level 33
open fun canPackageQuery(
    sourcePackageName: String, 
    targetPackageName: String

Note: The caller must be able to query for details about the source and target package. A NameNotFoundException is thrown if it isn't.

Parameters
sourcePackageName String: The source package that would receive details about the target package. This value cannot be null.
targetPackageName String: The target package whose details would be shared with the source package. This value cannot be null.
Return
Boolean true if the source package is able to query for details about the target package.
Exceptions
android.content.pm.PackageManager.NameNotFoundException if either a given package can not be found on the system, or if the caller is not able to query for details about the source or target package.

canRequestPackageInstalls

Added in API level 26
abstract fun canRequestPackageInstalls(): Boolean

Checks whether the calling package is allowed to request package installs through package installer. Apps are encouraged to call this API before launching the package installer via intent android.content.Intent#ACTION_INSTALL_PACKAGE. Starting from Android O, the user can explicitly choose what external sources they trust to install apps on the device. If this API returns false, the install request will be blocked by the package installer and a dialog will be shown to the user with an option to launch settings to change their preference. An application must target Android O or higher and declare permission android.Manifest.permission#REQUEST_INSTALL_PACKAGES in order to use this API.

Return
Boolean true if the calling package is trusted by the user to request install packages on the device, false otherwise.

Return
Array<String!>! Returns an array of the same size as the original, containing the current name for each package.

checkPermission

Added in API level 1
abstract fun checkPermission(
    permName: String, 
    packageName: String
): Int

Parameters
permName String: The name of the permission you are checking for. This value cannot be null.
packageName String: The name of the package you are checking against. This value cannot be null.
Return
Int If the package has the permission, PERMISSION_GRANTED is returned. If it does not have the permission, PERMISSION_DENIED is returned. Value is android.content.pm.PackageManager#PERMISSION_GRANTED, or android.content.pm.PackageManager#PERMISSION_DENIED

checkSignatures

Added in API level 1
abstract fun checkSignatures(
    packageName1: String, 
    packageName2: String
): Int

Parameters
packageName1 String: First package name whose signature will be compared. This value cannot be null.
packageName2 String: Second package name whose signature will be compared. This value cannot be null.
Return
Int Returns an integer indicating whether all signatures on the two packages match. The value is >= 0 (SIGNATURE_MATCH) if all signatures match or < 0 if there is not a match (SIGNATURE_NO_MATCH or SIGNATURE_UNKNOWN_PACKAGE). Value is android.content.pm.PackageManager#SIGNATURE_MATCH, android.content.pm.PackageManager#SIGNATURE_NEITHER_SIGNED, android.content.pm.PackageManager#SIGNATURE_FIRST_NOT_SIGNED, android.content.pm.PackageManager#SIGNATURE_SECOND_NOT_SIGNED, android.content.pm.PackageManager#SIGNATURE_NO_MATCH, or android.content.pm.PackageManager#SIGNATURE_UNKNOWN_PACKAGE

Added in API level 5
abstract fun checkSignatures(
    uid1: Int, 
    uid2: Int
): Int

Like checkSignatures(java.lang.String,java.lang.String), but takes UIDs of the two packages to be checked. This can be useful, for example, when doing the check in an IPC, where the UID is the only identity available. It is functionally identical to determining the package associated with the UIDs and checking their signatures.

Parameters
uid1 Int: First UID whose signature will be compared.
uid2 Int: Second UID whose signature will be compared.
Return
Int Returns an integer indicating whether all signatures on the two packages match. The value is >= 0 (SIGNATURE_MATCH) if all signatures match or < 0 if there is not a match (SIGNATURE_NO_MATCH or SIGNATURE_UNKNOWN_PACKAGE). Value is android.content.pm.PackageManager#SIGNATURE_MATCH, android.content.pm.PackageManager#SIGNATURE_NEITHER_SIGNED, android.content.pm.PackageManager#SIGNATURE_FIRST_NOT_SIGNED, android.content.pm.PackageManager#SIGNATURE_SECOND_NOT_SIGNED, android.content.pm.PackageManager#SIGNATURE_NO_MATCH, or android.content.pm.PackageManager#SIGNATURE_UNKNOWN_PACKAGE

The response must include the verificationCodeAtTimeout which is one of PackageManager#VERIFICATION_ALLOW or PackageManager#VERIFICATION_REJECT. This method may only be called once per package id. Additional calls will have no effect.

Parameters
id Int: pending package identifier as passed via the PackageManager#EXTRA_VERIFICATION_ID Intent extra.
verificationCodeAtTimeout Int: either PackageManager#VERIFICATION_ALLOW or PackageManager#VERIFICATION_REJECT. If verificationCodeAtTimeout is neither PackageManager#VERIFICATION_ALLOW or PackageManager#VERIFICATION_REJECT, then verificationCodeAtTimeout will default to PackageManager#VERIFICATION_REJECT.
millisecondsToDelay Long: the amount of time requested for the timeout. Must be positive and less than PackageManager#MAXIMUM_VERIFICATION_TIMEOUT. If millisecondsToDelay is out of bounds, millisecondsToDelay will be set to the closest in bounds value; namely, 0 or PackageManager#MAXIMUM_VERIFICATION_TIMEOUT.

getWhitelistedRestrictedPermissions

Added in API level 29
open fun getWhitelistedRestrictedPermissions(
    packageName: String, 
    whitelistFlag: Int
): MutableSet<String!>

Gets the restricted permissions that have been whitelisted and the app is allowed to have them granted in their full form.

Permissions can be hard restricted which means that the app cannot hold them or soft restricted where the app can hold the permission but in a weaker form. Whether a permission is restricted or soft restricted depends on the permission declaration. Whitelisting a hard restricted permission allows for the to hold that permission and whitelisting a soft restricted permission allows the app to hold the permission in its full, unrestricted form.

    There are four allowlists:
  1. one for cases where the system permission policy whitelists a permission This list corresponds to theFLAG_PERMISSION_WHITELIST_SYSTEM flag. Can only be accessed by pre-installed holders of a dedicated permission.
  2. one for cases where the system whitelists the permission when upgrading from an OS version in which the permission was not restricted to an OS version in which the permission is restricted. This list corresponds to the FLAG_PERMISSION_WHITELIST_UPGRADE flag. Can be accessed by pre-installed holders of a dedicated permission or the installer on record.
  3. one for cases where the installer of the package whitelists a permission. This list corresponds to the FLAG_PERMISSION_WHITELIST_INSTALLER flag. Can be accessed by pre-installed holders of a dedicated permission or the installer on record.

Note: In retrospect it would have been preferred to use more inclusive terminology when naming this API. Similar APIs added will refrain from using the term "whitelist".

Parameters
packageName String: The app for which to get whitelisted permissions. This value cannot be null.
whitelistFlag Int: The flag to determine which whitelist to query. Only one flag can be passed.s Value is either 0 or a combination of android.content.pm.PackageManager#FLAG_PERMISSION_WHITELIST_SYSTEM, android.content.pm.PackageManager#FLAG_PERMISSION_WHITELIST_INSTALLER, and android.content.pm.PackageManager#FLAG_PERMISSION_WHITELIST_UPGRADE
Return
MutableSet<String!> The whitelisted permissions that are on any of the whitelists you query for. This value cannot be null.
Exceptions
java.lang.SecurityException if you try to access a whitelist that you have no access to.

This method is analogous to using getPackageInfo with GET_SIGNING_CERTIFICATES and then searching through the resulting signingInfo field to see if the desired certificate is present.

Parameters
packageName String: package whose signing certificates to check This value cannot be null.
certificate ByteArray: signing certificate for which to search This value cannot be null.
type Int: representation of the certificate Value is android.content.pm.PackageManager#CERT_INPUT_RAW_X509, or android.content.pm.PackageManager#CERT_INPUT_SHA256

For multiple packages sharing the same uid, this will return the signing certificates found in the signing history of the "newest" package, where "newest" indicates the package with the newest signing certificate in the shared uid group. This method should be used instead of getPackageInfo with GET_SIGNATURES since it takes into account the possibility of signing certificate rotation, except in the case of packages that are signed by multiple certificates, for which signing certificate rotation is not supported. This method is analogous to using getPackagesForUid followed by getPackageInfo with GET_SIGNING_CERTIFICATES, selecting the PackageInfo of the newest-signed bpackage , and finally searching through the resulting signingInfo field to see if the desired certificate is there.

Parameters
uid Int: uid whose signing certificates to check
certificate ByteArray: signing certificate for which to search This value cannot be null.
type Int: representation of the certificate Value is android.content.pm.PackageManager#CERT_INPUT_RAW_X509, or android.content.pm.PackageManager#CERT_INPUT_SHA256
Return
Boolean true if this package was or is signed by exactly the certificate certificate

hasSystemFeature

Added in API level 5
abstract fun hasSystemFeature(featureName: String): Boolean

Check whether the given feature name is one of the available features as returned by getSystemAvailableFeatures(). This tests for the presence of any version of the given feature name; use hasSystemFeature(java.lang.String,int) to check for a minimum version.

Parameters
featureName String: This value cannot be null.
Return
Boolean Returns true if the devices supports the feature, else false.

hasSystemFeature

Added in API level 24
abstract fun hasSystemFeature(
    featureName: String, 
    version: Int
): Boolean

Check whether the given feature name and version is one of the available features as returned by getSystemAvailableFeatures(). Since features are defined to always be backwards compatible, this returns true if the available feature version is greater than or equal to the requested version.

Parameters
featureName String: This value cannot be null.
Return
Boolean Returns true if the devices supports the feature, else false.

isAppArchivable

Added in API level 35
open fun isAppArchivable(packageName: String): Boolean

Returns true if an app is archivable.

Parameters
packageName String: This value cannot be null.
Exceptions
android.content.pm.PackageManager.NameNotFoundException if the given package name is not available to the caller.

isAutoRevokeWhitelisted

Added in API level 30
open fun isAutoRevokeWhitelisted(packageName: String): Boolean

Checks whether an application is exempt from having its permissions be automatically revoked when the app is unused for an extended period of time. Only the installer on record that installed the given package, or a holder of WHITELIST_AUTO_REVOKE_PERMISSIONS is allowed to call this.

Note: In retrospect it would have been preferred to use more inclusive terminology when naming this API. Similar APIs added will refrain from using the term "whitelist".

Parameters
packageName String: The app for which to set exemption. This value cannot be null.
Return
Boolean Whether the app is whitelisted.
Exceptions
java.lang.SecurityException if you you have no access to this.

isAutoRevokeWhitelisted

Added in API level 30
open fun isAutoRevokeWhitelisted(): Boolean

Note: In retrospect it would have been preferred to use more inclusive terminology when naming this API. Similar APIs added will refrain from using the term "whitelist".

Return
Boolean whether this package is whitelisted from having its runtime permission be auto-revoked if unused for an extended period of time.

isDefaultApplicationIcon

Added in API level 30
open fun isDefaultApplicationIcon(drawable: Drawable): Boolean

Returns if the provided drawable represents the default activity icon provided by the system. PackageManager silently returns a default application icon for any package/activity if the app itself does not define one or if the system encountered any error when loading the icon. Developers can use this to check implement app specific logic around retrying or caching.

Parameters
drawable Drawable: This value cannot be null.
Return
Boolean true if the drawable represents the default activity icon, false otherwise

isDeviceUpgrading

Added in API level 29
open fun isDeviceUpgrading(): Boolean

Returns true if the device is upgrading, such as first boot after OTA.

Gets whether this application is an instant app.

Return
Boolean Whether caller is an instant app.

isInstantApp

Added in API level 26
abstract fun isInstantApp(packageName: String): Boolean

Parameters
packageName String: The package to check This value cannot be null.
Return
Boolean Whether the given package is an instant app.

isPackageStopped

Added in API level 35
open fun isPackageStopped(packageName: String): Boolean

Query if an app is currently stopped.

Parameters

Exceptions
android.content.pm.PackageManager.NameNotFoundException if the package could not be found.

isPackageSuspended

Added in API level 29
open fun isPackageSuspended(packageName: String): Boolean

Query if an app is currently suspended.

Parameters
packageName String: This value cannot be null.
Return
Boolean true if the given package is suspended, false otherwise
Exceptions
android.content.pm.PackageManager.NameNotFoundException if the package could not be found.

isPackageSuspended

Added in API level 28
open fun isPackageSuspended(): Boolean

Apps can query this to know if they have been suspended. A system app with the permission android.permission.SUSPEND_APPS can put any app on the device into a suspended state.

While in this state, the application's notifications will be hidden, any of its started activities will be stopped and it will not be able to show toasts or dialogs or play audio. When the user tries to launch a suspended app, the system will, instead, show a dialog to the user informing them that they cannot use this app while it is suspended.

When an app is put into this state, the broadcast action Intent#ACTION_MY_PACKAGE_SUSPENDED will be delivered to any of its broadcast receivers that included this action in their intent-filters, including manifest receivers. Similarly, a broadcast action Intent#ACTION_MY_PACKAGE_UNSUSPENDED is delivered when a previously suspended app is taken out of this state. Apps are expected to use these to gracefully deal with transitions to and from this state.

Return
Boolean true if the calling package has been suspended, false otherwise.

isPermissionRevokedByPolicy

Added in API level 23
abstract fun isPermissionRevokedByPolicy(
    permName: String, 
    packageName: String
): Boolean

Checks whether a particular permissions has been revoked for a package by policy. Typically the device owner or the profile owner may apply such a policy. The user cannot grant policy revoked permissions, hence the only way for an app to get such a permission is by a policy change.

Parameters
permName String: The name of the permission you are checking for. This value cannot be null.
packageName String: The name of the package you are checking against. This value cannot be null.
Return
Boolean Whether the permission is restricted by policy.

                  Bundle bundle = new Bundle();
                  // Search the start tag
                  int type;
                  while ((type = xmlResourceParser.next()) != XmlPullParser.START_TAG
                          &amp;&amp; type != XmlPullParser.END_DOCUMENT) {
                  }
                  if (type != XmlPullParser.START_TAG) {
                      return bundle;
                  }
 
                  // Start to read the tags and attributes from the xmlResourceParser
                  if (!xmlResourceParser.getName().equals("manifest")) {
                      return bundle;
                  }
                  String packageName = xmlResourceParser.getAttributeValue(null, "package");
                  bundle.putString("package", packageName);
 
                  // Continue to read the tags and attributes from the xmlResourceParser
 
                  return bundle;
              });
  } catch (IOException e) {
  }
  </code>
 Note: When the parserFunction is invoked, the client can read the AndroidManifest.xml information by the XmlResourceParser object. After leaving the parserFunction, the XmlResourceParser object will be closed. The caller should also handle the exception for calling this method.
This method may take several seconds to complete, so it should only be called from a worker thread.
Parameters
apkFile File: The file of an application apk. This value cannot be null.
parserFunction Function<XmlResourceParser!, T>: The parserFunction will be invoked with the XmlResourceParser object after getting the AndroidManifest.xml of an application package. This value cannot be null.
Return
T Returns the result of the Function#apply(Object).
Exceptions
java.io.IOException if the AndroidManifest.xml of an application package cannot be read or accessed.

Added in API level 1
abstract fun removePermission(permName: String): Unit

Removes a permission that was previously added with addPermission(android.content.pm.PermissionInfo). The same ownership rules apply -- you are only allowed to remove permissions that you are allowed to add.

Parameters
permName String: The name of the permission to remove. This value cannot be null.

removeWhitelistedRestrictedPermission

Added in API level 29
open fun removeWhitelistedRestrictedPermission(
    packageName: String, 
    permName: String, 
    whitelistFlags: Int
): Boolean

Removes a whitelisted restricted permission for an app.

Permissions can be hard restricted which means that the app cannot hold them or soft restricted where the app can hold the permission but in a weaker form. Whether a permission is restricted or soft restricted depends on the permission declaration. Whitelisting a hard restricted permission allows for the to hold that permission and whitelisting a soft restricted permission allows the app to hold the permission in its full, unrestricted form.

    There are four whitelists:
  1. one for cases where the system permission policy whitelists a permission This list corresponds to the FLAG_PERMISSION_WHITELIST_SYSTEM flag. Can only be modified by pre-installed holders of a dedicated permission.
  2. one for cases where the system whitelists the permission when upgrading from an OS version in which the permission was not restricted to an OS version in which the permission is restricted. This list corresponds to the FLAG_PERMISSION_WHITELIST_UPGRADE flag. Can be modified by pre-installed holders of a dedicated permission. The installer on record can only remove permissions from this whitelist.
  3. one for cases where the installer of the package whitelists a permission. This list corresponds to the FLAG_PERMISSION_WHITELIST_INSTALLER flag. Can be modified by pre-installed holders of a dedicated permission or the installer on record.
  4. one for cases where the system exempts the permission when upgrading from an OS version in which the permission was not restricted to an OS version in which the permission is restricted. This list corresponds to the FLAG_PERMISSION_WHITELIST_UPGRADE flag. Can be modified by pre-installed holders of a dedicated permission. The installer on record can only remove permissions from this allowlist.

You need to specify the whitelists for which to set the whitelisted permissions which will clear the previous whitelisted permissions and replace them with the provided ones.

Note: In retrospect it would have been preferred to use more inclusive terminology when naming this API. Similar APIs added will refrain from using the term "whitelist".

Parameters
packageName String: The app for which to get whitelisted permissions. This value cannot be null.
permName String: The whitelisted permission to remove. This value cannot be null.
whitelistFlags Int: The whitelists from which to remove. Passing multiple flags updates all specified whitelists. Value is either 0 or a combination of android.content.pm.PackageManager#FLAG_PERMISSION_WHITELIST_SYSTEM, android.content.pm.PackageManager#FLAG_PERMISSION_WHITELIST_INSTALLER, and android.content.pm.PackageManager#FLAG_PERMISSION_WHITELIST_UPGRADE
Return
Boolean Whether the permission was removed from the whitelist.
Exceptions
java.lang.SecurityException if you try to modify a whitelist that you have no access to.

    includeSplits: Boolean, 
    required: Int, 
    trustedInstallers: MutableList<Certificate!>, 
    onChecksumsReadyListener: PackageManager.OnChecksumsReadyListener
): Unit

Requests the checksums for APKs within a package. The checksums will be returned asynchronously via onChecksumsReadyListener. By default returns all readily available checksums: - enforced by platform, - enforced by installer. If caller needs a specific checksum kind, they can specify it as required. Caution: Android can not verify installer-provided checksums. Make sure you specify trusted installers.

Parameters
packageName String: whose checksums to return. This value cannot be null.
includeSplits Boolean: whether to include checksums for non-base splits.
required Int: explicitly request the checksum types. May incur significant CPU/memory/disk usage. Value is either 0 or a combination of android.content.pm.Checksum#TYPE_WHOLE_MERKLE_ROOT_4K_SHA256, android.content.pm.Checksum#TYPE_WHOLE_MD5, android.content.pm.Checksum#TYPE_WHOLE_SHA1, android.content.pm.Checksum#TYPE_WHOLE_SHA256, android.content.pm.Checksum#TYPE_WHOLE_SHA512, android.content.pm.Checksum#TYPE_PARTIAL_MERKLE_ROOT_1M_SHA256, and android.content.pm.Checksum#TYPE_PARTIAL_MERKLE_ROOT_1M_SHA512
trustedInstallers MutableList<Certificate!>: for checksums enforced by installer, which installers are to be trusted. TRUST_ALL will return checksums from any installer, TRUST_NONE disables optimized installer-enforced checksums, otherwise the list has to be non-empty list of certificates. This value cannot be null.
onChecksumsReadyListener PackageManager.OnChecksumsReadyListener: called once when the results are available. This value cannot be null.
Exceptions
java.security.cert.CertificateEncodingException if an encoding error occurs for trustedInstallers.

resolveActivity

Added in API level 1
abstract fun resolveActivity(
    intent: Intent, 
    flags: Int
): ResolveInfo?

Determine the best action to perform for a given Intent. This is how Intent#resolveActivity finds an activity if a class has not been explicitly specified.

Note: if using an implicit Intent (without an explicit ComponentName specified), be sure to consider whether to set the MATCH_DEFAULT_ONLY only flag. You need to do so to resolve the activity in the same way that android.content.Context#startActivity(Intent) and Intent.resolveActivity(PackageManager) do.

Use resolveActivity(android.content.Intent,android.content.pm.PackageManager.ResolveInfoFlags) when long flags are needed.
Parameters
intent Intent: An intent containing all of the desired specification (action, data, type, category, and/or component). This value cannot be null.
flags Int: Additional option flags to modify the data returned. The most important is MATCH_DEFAULT_ONLY, to limit the resolution to only those activities that support the android.content.Intent#CATEGORY_DEFAULT.
Return
ResolveInfo? Returns a ResolveInfo object containing the final activity intent that was determined to be the best action. Returns null if no matching activity was found. If multiple matching activities are found and there is no default set, returns a ResolveInfo object containing something else, such as the activity resolver.

categoryHint Int: the category hint to set. Value is android.content.pm.ApplicationInfo#CATEGORY_UNDEFINED, android.content.pm.ApplicationInfo#CATEGORY_GAME, android.content.pm.ApplicationInfo#CATEGORY_AUDIO, android.content.pm.ApplicationInfo#CATEGORY_VIDEO, android.content.pm.ApplicationInfo#CATEGORY_IMAGE, android.content.pm.ApplicationInfo#CATEGORY_SOCIAL, android.content.pm.ApplicationInfo#CATEGORY_NEWS, android.content.pm.ApplicationInfo#CATEGORY_MAPS, android.content.pm.ApplicationInfo#CATEGORY_PRODUCTIVITY, or android.content.pm.ApplicationInfo#CATEGORY_ACCESSIBILITY

setApplicationEnabledSetting

Added in API level 1
abstract fun setApplicationEnabledSetting(
    packageName: String, 
    newState: Int, 
    flags: Int
): Unit

Set the enabled setting for an application This setting will override any enabled state which may have been set by the application in its manifest. It also overrides the enabled state set in the manifest for any of the application's components. It does not override any enabled state set by setComponentEnabledSetting for any of the application's components.

Parameters
packageName String: The package name of the application to enable This value cannot be null.
newState Int: The new enabled state for the application. Value is android.content.pm.PackageManager#COMPONENT_ENABLED_STATE_DEFAULT, android.content.pm.PackageManager#COMPONENT_ENABLED_STATE_ENABLED, android.content.pm.PackageManager#COMPONENT_ENABLED_STATE_DISABLED, android.content.pm.PackageManager#COMPONENT_ENABLED_STATE_DISABLED_USER, or android.content.pm.PackageManager#COMPONENT_ENABLED_STATE_DISABLED_UNTIL_USED
flags Int: Optional behavior flags. Value is either 0 or a combination of android.content.pm.PackageManager#DONT_KILL_APP, and android.content.pm.PackageManager#SYNCHRONOUS

setAutoRevokeWhitelisted

Added in API level 30
open fun setAutoRevokeWhitelisted(
    packageName: String, 
    whitelisted: Boolean
): Boolean

Marks an application exempt from having its permissions be automatically revoked when the app is unused for an extended period of time. Only the installer on record that installed the given package is allowed to call this. Packages start in whitelisted state, and it is the installer's responsibility to un-whitelist the packages it installs, unless auto-revoking permissions from that package would cause breakages beyond having to re-request the permission(s).

Note: In retrospect it would have been preferred to use more inclusive terminology when naming this API. Similar APIs added will refrain from using the term "whitelist".

Parameters
packageName String: The app for which to set exemption. This value cannot be null.
whitelisted Boolean: Whether the app should be whitelisted.
Return
Boolean whether any change took effect.
Exceptions
java.lang.SecurityException if you you have no access to modify this.

    setComponentEnabledSetting

    Added in API level 1
    abstract fun setComponentEnabledSetting(
        componentName: ComponentName, 
        newState: Int, 
        flags: Int
    ): Unit

    Set the enabled setting for a package component (activity, receiver, service, provider). This setting will override any enabled state which may have been set by the component in its manifest.

    Consider using setComponentEnabledSettings(java.util.List) if multiple components need to be updated atomically.

    Parameters
    componentName ComponentName: The component to enable This value cannot be null.
    newState Int: The new enabled state for the component. Value is android.content.pm.PackageManager#COMPONENT_ENABLED_STATE_DEFAULT, android.content.pm.PackageManager#COMPONENT_ENABLED_STATE_ENABLED, android.content.pm.PackageManager#COMPONENT_ENABLED_STATE_DISABLED, android.content.pm.PackageManager#COMPONENT_ENABLED_STATE_DISABLED_USER, or android.content.pm.PackageManager#COMPONENT_ENABLED_STATE_DISABLED_UNTIL_USED
    flags Int: Optional behavior flags. Value is either 0 or a combination of android.content.pm.PackageManager#DONT_KILL_APP, and android.content.pm.PackageManager#SYNCHRONOUS

    setComponentEnabledSettings

    Added in API level 33
    open fun setComponentEnabledSettings(settings: MutableList<PackageManager.ComponentEnabledSetting!>): Unit

    Set the enabled settings for package components such as activities, receivers, services and providers. This setting will override any enabled state which may have been set by the component in its manifest.

    This api accepts a list of component changes, and applies them all atomically. The application can use this api if components have dependencies and need to be updated atomically.

    The permission is not required if target components are running under the same uid with the caller.

    Parameters
    settings MutableList<PackageManager.ComponentEnabledSetting!>: The list of component enabled settings to update. Note that an IllegalArgumentException is thrown if the duplicated component name is in the list or there's a conflict DONT_KILL_APP flag between different components in the same package. This value cannot be null.

    setInstallerPackageName

    Added in API level 11
    abstract fun setInstallerPackageName(
        targetPackage: String, 
        installerPackageName: String?
    ): Unit

    Change the installer associated with a given package. There are limitations on how the installer package can be changed; in particular:

    • A SecurityException will be thrown if installerPackageName is not signed with the same certificate as the calling application.
    • A SecurityException will be thrown if targetPackage already has an installer package, and that installer package is not signed with the same certificate as the calling application.

    Parameters
    targetPackage String: The installed package whose installer will be changed. This value cannot be null.
    installerPackageName String?: The package name of the new installer. May be null to clear the association.

    setMimeGroup

    Added in API level 30
    open fun setMimeGroup(
        mimeGroup: String, 
        mimeTypes: MutableSet<String!>
    ): Unit

    Sets MIME group's MIME types. Libraries should use a reverse-DNS prefix followed by a ':' character and library-specific group name to avoid namespace collisions, e.g. "com.example:myFeature".

    Parameters
    mimeGroup String: MIME group to modify. This value cannot be null.
    mimeTypes MutableSet<String!>: new MIME types contained by MIME group. This value cannot be null.
    Exceptions
    java.lang.IllegalArgumentException if the MIME group was not declared in the manifest.

    updateInstantAppCookie

    Added in API level 26
    abstract fun updateInstantAppCookie(cookie: ByteArray?): Unit

    Updates the instant application cookie for the calling app. Non instant apps and apps that were instant but were upgraded to normal apps can still access this API. For instant apps this cookie is cached for some time after uninstall while for normal apps the cookie is deleted after the app is uninstalled. The cookie is always present while the app is installed. The cookie size is limited by getInstantAppCookieMaxBytes(). Passing null or an empty array clears the cookie.

    Parameters
    cookie ByteArray?: The cookie data. This value may be null.
    Exceptions
    java.lang.IllegalArgumentException if the array exceeds max cookie size.

    verifyPendingInstall

    Added in API level 14
    abstract fun verifyPendingInstall(
        id: Int, 
        verificationCode: Int
    ): Unit

    Allows a package listening to the broadcast to respond to the package manager. The response must include the verificationCode which is one of PackageManager#VERIFICATION_ALLOW or PackageManager#VERIFICATION_REJECT.

    Parameters
    id Int: pending package identifier as passed via the PackageManager#EXTRA_VERIFICATION_ID Intent extra.
    verificationCode Int: either PackageManager#VERIFICATION_ALLOW or PackageManager#VERIFICATION_REJECT.
    Exceptions
    java.lang.SecurityException if the caller does not have the PACKAGE_VERIFICATION_AGENT permission.

    Properties

    TRUST_ALL

    Added in API level 31
