Kotlin |Java

class ProviderInfo : ComponentInfo, Parcelable

kotlin.Any
↳	android.content.pm.PackageItemInfo
	↳	android.content.pm.ComponentInfo
		↳	android.content.pm.ProviderInfo

Holds information about a specific content provider. This is returned by PackageManager.resolveContentProvider().

Summary

Constants
static Int	FLAG_SINGLE_USER Bit in flags: If set, a single instance of the provider will run for all users on the device.

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.

Public constructors

Inherited functions
From class ComponentInfo Unit dumpBack(pw: Printer!, prefix: String!) Unit dumpFront(pw: Printer!, prefix: String!) Int getBannerResource() Return the banner resource identifier to use for this component. If the component defines a banner, that is used; else, the application banner is used. Int getIconResource() Return the icon resource identifier to use for this component. If the component defines an icon, that is used; else, the application icon is used. Int getLogoResource() Return the logo resource identifier to use for this component. If the component defines a logo, that is used; else, the application logo is used. Boolean isEnabled() Return whether this component and its enclosing application are enabled.
From class PackageItemInfo Drawable! loadBanner(pm: PackageManager!) Retrieve the current graphical banner associated with this item. This will call back on the given PackageManager to load the banner from the application. Drawable! loadIcon(pm: PackageManager!) Retrieve the current graphical icon associated with this item. This will call back on the given PackageManager to load the icon from the application. CharSequence loadLabel(pm: PackageManager) Retrieve the current textual label associated with this item. This will call back on the given PackageManager to load the label from the application. Drawable! loadLogo(pm: PackageManager!) Retrieve the current graphical logo associated with this item. This will call back on the given PackageManager to load the logo from the application. Drawable! loadUnbadgedIcon(pm: PackageManager!) Retrieve the current graphical icon associated with this item without the addition of a work badge if applicable. This will call back on the given PackageManager to load the icon from the application. XmlResourceParser! loadXmlMetaData(pm: PackageManager!, name: String!) Load an XML resource attached to the meta-data of this item. This will retrieved the name meta-data entry, and if defined call back on the given PackageManager to load its XML file from the application.

Inherited properties
From class ComponentInfo ApplicationInfo! applicationInfo Global information about the application/package this component is a part of. Array<String!>! attributionTags Set of attribution tags that should be automatically applied to this component. When this component represents an Activity, Service, ContentResolver or BroadcastReceiver, each instance will be automatically configured with Context.createAttributionContext using the first attribution tag contained here. Additionally, when this component represents a BroadcastReceiver and the sender of a broadcast requires the receiver to hold one or more specific permissions, those permission checks will be performed using each of the attributions tags contained here. Int descriptionRes A string resource identifier (in the package's resources) containing a user-readable description of the component. From the "description" attribute or, if not set, 0. Boolean directBootAware Indicates if this component is aware of direct boot lifecycle, and can be safely run before the user has entered their credentials (such as a lock pattern or PIN). Boolean enabled Indicates whether or not this component may be instantiated. Note that this value can be overridden by the one in its parent ApplicationInfo. Boolean exported Set to true if this component is available for use by other applications. Comes from android:exported of the <activity>, <receiver>, <service>, or <provider> tag. String! processName The name of the process this component should run in. From the "android:process" attribute or, if not set, the same as applicationInfo.processName. String! splitName The name of the split in which this component is declared. Null if the component was declared in the base APK.
From class PackageItemInfo Int banner A drawable resource identifier (in the package's resources) of this component's banner. From the "banner" attribute or, if not set, 0. Int icon A drawable resource identifier (in the package's resources) of this component's icon. From the "icon" attribute or, if not set, 0. Boolean isArchived Whether the package is currently in an archived state. Packages can be archived through PackageInstaller.requestArchive and do not have any APKs stored on the device, but do keep the data directory. Int labelRes A string resource identifier (in the package's resources) of this component's label. From the "label" attribute or, if not set, 0. Int logo A drawable resource identifier (in the package's resources) of this component's logo. Logos may be larger/wider than icons and are displayed by certain UI elements in place of a name or name/icon combination. From the "logo" attribute or, if not set, 0. Bundle! metaData Additional meta-data associated with this component. This field will only be filled in if you set the PackageManager.GET_META_DATA flag when requesting the info. String! name Public name of this item. From the "android:name" attribute. CharSequence! nonLocalizedLabel The string provided in the AndroidManifest file, if any. You probably don't want to use this. You probably want PackageManager.getApplicationLabel String! packageName Name of the package that this item is in.
