Android, Get Installed App Size and Date

Question

In Android, How I can get app installed date and how I can get installed app size.

I am using below code to get app size but it is not correct

List packs = getPackageManager().getInstalledPackages(0);

for(i=0;i<packs.size();i++) {
    PackageInfo p = packs.get(i);
    ApplicationInfo appInfo =p.applicationInfo;
    long fileSize = new FileInputStream(appInfo.sourceDir).getChannel().size();
}

Please help me.. Thanks,

Ajay,

To get the installation date you will want to use the PackageManager class. More specifically the getPackageInfo() method. This will return to you a PackageInfo object which contains firstInstallTime value.

There does not currently exist a public API to get an application's size as PackageManager.getpackageSizeInfo() was removed from the API from SDK 0.9 to SDK 1.0. See HERE

Good luck!

Do we have any way to calculate the size/disk usage of installed application. – Ajay Singh Mar 16 '11 at 08:26

For the size of a package you may try the standard "Java way", thus:

ApplicationInfo appInfo = ...;

try{
    File file = new File(appInfo.sourceDir);
    double size = file.length();  // size in Byte
    Log.d(TAG, "Size: " + size + " Byte\n");
} catch( Exception e ) {
    //e.printStackTrace();
}

Not sure it gives you a precise estimation of the size, though.

This will return only the APK file size. there are many other folders to consider, some of them are protected. – android developer May 03 '14 at 10:51
