public PackageManager()

Public Methods

public abstract void addPackageToPreferred(String packageName)

Add a new package to the list of preferred packages. This new package will be added to the front of the list (removed from its current location if already listed), meaning it will now be preferred over all other packages when resolving conflicts.

Parameters

packageName	The package name of the new package to make preferred.

public abstract int checkPermission(String permName, String pkgName)

Check whether a particular package has been granted a particular permission.

Parameters

permName	The name of the permission you are checking for,
pkgName	The name of the package you are checking against.

Returns

If the package has the permission, PERMISSION_GRANTED is returned. If it does not have the permission, PERMISSION_DENIED is returned.

public abstract int checkSignatures(String pkg1, String pkg2)

Compare the signatures of two packages to determine if the same signature appears in both of them. If they do contain the same signature, then they are allowed special privileges when working with each other: they can share the same user-id, run instrumentation against each other, etc.

Parameters

pkg1	First package name whose signature will be compared.
pkg2	Second package name whose signature will be compared.

Returns

Returns an integer indicating whether there is a matching signature: the value is >= 0 if there is a match (or neither package is signed), or < 0 if there is not a match. The match result can be further distinguished with the success (>= 0) constants SIGNATURE_MATCH, SIGNATURE_NEITHER_SIGNED; or failure (< 0) constants SIGNATURE_FIRST_NOT_SIGNED, SIGNATURE_SECOND_NOT_SIGNED, SIGNATURE_NO_MATCH, or SIGNATURE_UNKNOWN_PACKAGE.

public abstract Drawable getActivityIcon(ComponentName activityName)
