PackageManager packageManager = context.getPackageManager();
ApplicationInfo appInfo = packageManager.getApplicationInfo("com.simsys.securex", 0);
String sourceDir= appInfo.sourceDir;
long dateTimeSync= new File(sourceDir).lastModified();

In case there is an update version, and if the user updates the app, this will return last update time. – SheIs_LeThiCongNhan Aug 01 '12 at 07:15

@TanmayMandal That's actually a really important point because if you're looking for the first install time, and not the modified time then your answer is not correct. I would expect the first install time to never change once set. – Christopher Perry Aug 28 '12 at 05:12
