public MockPackageManager ()

Public Methods

public 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 boolean addPermission (PermissionInfo info)

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 Description of the permission to be added.
Returns
  • Returns true if a new permission was created, false if an existing one was updated.

public void addPreferredActivity (IntentFilter filter, int match, ComponentName[] set, ComponentName activity)

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 The set of intents under which this activity will be made preferred.
match The IntentFilter match category that this preference applies to.
set The set of activities that the user was picking from when this preference was made.
activity The component name of the activity that is to be preferred.

public 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 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

public void clearPackagePreferredActivities (String packageName)

Remove all preferred activity mappings, previously added with addPreferredActivity(IntentFilter, int, ComponentName[], ComponentName), from the system whose activities are implemented in the given package name.

Parameters
packageName The name of the package whose preferred activity mappings are to be removed.

public Drawable getActivityIcon (Intent intent)

Retrieve the icon associated with an Intent. If intent.getClassName() is set, this simply returns the result of getActivityIcon(intent.getClassName()). Otherwise it resolves the intent's component and returns the icon associated with the resolved component. If intent.getClassName() can not be found or the Intent can not be resolved to a component, NameNotFoundException is thrown.

Parameters
intent The intent for which you would like to retrieve an icon.
Returns
  • Returns the image of the icon, or the default activity icon if it could not be found. Does not return null.

public Drawable getActivityIcon (ComponentName activityName)

Retrieve the icon associated with an activity. Given the full name of an activity, retrieves the information about it and calls ComponentInfo.loadIcon() to return its icon. If the activity can not be found, NameNotFoundException is thrown.

Parameters
activityName Name of the activity whose icon is to be retrieved.
Returns
  • Returns the image of the icon, or the default activity icon if it could not be found. Does not return null.

public ActivityInfo getActivityInfo (ComponentName className, int flags)

Retrieve all of the information we know about a particular activity class.

Throws PackageManager.NameNotFoundException if an activity with the given class name can not be found on the system.

Parameters
className The full name (i.e. com.google.apps.contacts.ContactsList) of an Activity class.
flags Additional option flags. Use any combination of GET_META_DATA, GET_SHARED_LIBRARY_FILES, to modify the data (in ApplicationInfo) returned.
Returns

public List<PermissionGroupInfo> getAllPermissionGroups (int flags)

Retrieve all of the known permission groups in the system.

Parameters
flags Additional option flags. Use GET_META_DATA to retrieve any meta-data associated with the permission group.
Returns
  • Returns a list of PermissionGroupInfo containing information about all of the known permission groups.

public int getApplicationEnabledSetting (String packageName)

Return the the enabled setting for an application. This returns the last value set by setApplicationEnabledSetting(String, int, int); in most cases this value will be COMPONENT_ENABLED_STATE_DEFAULT since the value originally specified in the manifest has not been modified.

Parameters
packageName The component to retrieve.
Returns

public Drawable getApplicationIcon (String packageName)

Retrieve the icon associated with an application. Given the name of the application's package, retrieves the information about it and calls getApplicationIcon() to return its icon. If the application can not be found, NameNotFoundException is thrown.

Parameters
packageName Name of the package whose application icon is to be retrieved.
Returns
  • Returns the image of the icon, or the default application icon if it could not be found. Does not return null.

public Drawable getApplicationIcon (ApplicationInfo info)

Retrieve the icon associated with an application. If it has not defined an icon, the default app icon is returned. Does not return null.

Parameters
info Information about application being queried.
Returns
  • Returns the image of the icon, or the default application icon if it could not be found.

public ApplicationInfo getApplicationInfo (String packageName, int flags)

flags Additional option flags. Use any combination of GET_META_DATA, GET_SHARED_LIBRARY_FILES, GET_UNINSTALLED_PACKAGES to modify the data returned.
Returns
  • ApplicationInfo Returns ApplicationInfo object containing information about the package. If flag GET_UNINSTALLED_PACKAGES is set and if the package is not found in the list of installed applications, the application information is retrieved from the list of uninstalled applications(which includes installed applications as well as applications with data directory ie applications which had been deleted with DONT_DELTE_DATA flag set).

public CharSequence getApplicationLabel (ApplicationInfo info)

Return the label to use for this application.

Parameters
info The application to get the label of
Returns
  • Returns the label associated with this application, or null if it could not be found for any reason.

public int getComponentEnabledSetting (ComponentName componentName)

Return the the enabled setting for a package component (activity, receiver, service, provider). This returns the last value set by setComponentEnabledSetting(ComponentName, int, int); in most cases this value will be COMPONENT_ENABLED_STATE_DEFAULT since the value originally specified in the manifest has not been modified.

Parameters
componentName The component to retrieve.
Returns

public Drawable getDefaultActivityIcon ()

Return the generic icon for an activity that is used when no specific icon is defined.

Returns
  • Drawable Image of the icon.

public String getNameForUid (int uid)

Retrieve the official name associated with a user id. This name is guaranteed to never change, though it is possibly for the underlying user id to be changed. That is, if you are storing information about user ids in persistent storage, you should use the string returned by this function instead of the raw user-id.
