Question
i try some method,but not success,help me.
Solution
PackageManager pm = context.getPackageManager();
ApplicationInfo appInfo = pm.getApplicationInfo("app.package.name", 0);
String appFile = appInfo.sourceDir;
long installed = new File(appFile).lastModified(); //Epoch Time
Solution
In API level 9 (Gingerbread) and above, there's the PackageInfo.firstInstallTime field, holding milliseconds since the epoch:
packageManager.getPackageInfo(packageName, 0).firstInstallTime;
I have the following code to use it if available, and fall back to the apk modification time:
// return install time from package manager, or apk file modification time,
// or null if not found
public Date getInstallTime(
PackageManager packageManager, String packageName) {
return firstNonNull(
installTimeFromPackageManager(packageManager, packageName),
apkUpdateTime(packageManager, packageName));
}
private Date apkUpdateTime(
PackageManager packageManager, String packageName) {
try {
ApplicationInfo info = packageManager.getApplicationInfo(packageName, 0);
File apkFile = new File(info.sourceDir);
return apkFile.exists() ? new Date(apkFile.lastModified()) : null;
} catch (NameNotFoundException e) {
return null; // package not found
}
}
private Date installTimeFromPackageManager(
PackageManager packageManager, String packageName) {
// API level 9 and above have the "firstInstallTime" field.
// Check for it with reflection and return if present.
try {
PackageInfo info = packageManager.getPackageInfo(packageName, 0);
Field field = PackageInfo.class.getField("firstInstallTime");
long timestamp = field.getLong(info);
return new Date(timestamp);
} catch (NameNotFoundException e) {
return null; // package not found
} catch (IllegalAccessException e) {
} catch (NoSuchFieldException e) {
} catch (IllegalArgumentException e) {
} catch (SecurityException e) {
}
// field wasn't found
return null;
}
private Date firstNonNull(Date... dates) {
for (Date date : dates)
if (date != null)
return date;
return null;
}
