PackageInstaller
public
class
PackageInstaller
extends Object
java.lang.Object | |
↳ | android.content.pm.PackageInstaller |
Offers the ability to install, upgrade, and remove applications on the device. This includes support for apps packaged either as a single "monolithic" APK, or apps packaged as multiple "split" APKs.
An app is delivered for installation through a
PackageInstaller.Session
, which any app can create. Once the session
is created, the installer can stream one or more APKs into place until it
decides to either commit or destroy the session. Committing may require user
intervention to complete the installation, unless the caller falls into one of the
following categories, in which case the installation will complete automatically.
- the device owner
- the affiliated profile owner
Sessions can install brand new apps, upgrade existing apps, or add new splits into an existing app.
Apps packaged as multiple split APKs always consist of a single "base" APK
(with a null
split name) and zero or more "split" APKs (with unique
split names). Any subset of these APKs can be installed together, as long as
the following constraints are met:
- All APKs must have the exact same package name, version code, and signing certificates.
- All APKs must have unique split names.
- All installations must contain a single base APK.
The ApiDemos project contains examples of using this API:

The operation failed because it was blocked. For example, a device policy may be blocking the operation, a package verifier may have blocked the operation, or the app may be required for core system operation.
The result may also contain EXTRA_OTHER_PACKAGE_NAME
with the
specific package blocking the install.
Constant Value: 2 (0x00000002)
STATUS_FAILURE_CONFLICT
public static final int STATUS_FAILURE_CONFLICT
The operation failed because it conflicts (or is inconsistent with) with another package already installed on the device. For example, an existing permission, incompatible certificates, etc. The user may be able to uninstall another app to fix the issue.

exist, it may be missing native code for the ABIs supported by the
device, or it requires a newer SDK version, etc.
Starting in Build.VERSION_CODES.UPSIDE_DOWN_CAKE
, an app with only 32-bit native
code can still be installed on a device that supports both 64-bit and 32-bit ABIs.
However, a warning dialog will be displayed when the app is launched.
See also:
Constant Value: 7 (0x00000007)
STATUS_FAILURE_INVALID

The operation failed because it didn't complete within the specified timeout.
See also:
Constant Value: 8 (0x00000008)
STATUS_PENDING_USER_ACTION
public static final int STATUS_PENDING_USER_ACTION
User action is currently required to proceed. You can launch the intent
activity described by Intent.EXTRA_INTENT
to involve the user and
continue.

public static final int STATUS_SUCCESS
The operation succeeded.
Constant Value: 0 (0x00000000)
UNARCHIVAL_ERROR_INSTALLER_DISABLED
public static final int UNARCHIVAL_ERROR_INSTALLER_DISABLED
The installer responsible for the unarchival is disabled.
The system will return this status if appropriate. Installers do not need to verify for this error.
Constant Value: 4 (0x00000004)
UNARCHIVAL_ERROR_INSTALLER_UNINSTALLED
public static final int UNARCHIVAL_ERROR_INSTALLER_UNINSTALLED
The installer responsible for the unarchival has been uninstalled

The installer can optionally provide a userActionIntent
for a space-clearing
dialog. If no action is provided, then a generic intent
StorageManager.ACTION_MANAGE_STORAGE
is started instead.
Constant Value: 2 (0x00000002)
UNARCHIVAL_ERROR_NO_CONNECTIVITY
public static final int UNARCHIVAL_ERROR_NO_CONNECTIVITY
The device is not connected to the internet
Constant Value: 3 (0x00000003)
UNARCHIVAL_ERROR_USER_ACTION_NEEDED
public static final int UNARCHIVAL_ERROR_USER_ACTION_NEEDED
The user needs to interact with the installer to enable the installation.
An example use case for this could be that the user needs to login to allow the download for a paid app.
Constant Value: 1 (0x00000001)
UNARCHIVAL_GENERIC_ERROR
public static final int UNARCHIVAL_GENERIC_ERROR
Generic error: The app cannot be unarchived.
Constant Value: 100 (0x00000064)
UNARCHIVAL_OK
public static final int UNARCHIVAL_OK
The unarchival is possible and will commence.
Note that this does not mean that the unarchival has completed. This status should be sent before any longer asynchronous action (e.g. app download) is started.
Constant Value: 0 (0x00000000)
Public methods
abandonSession
public void abandonSession (int sessionId)
Completely abandon the given session, destroying all staged data and
rendering it invalid. Abandoned sessions will be reported to
SessionCallback
listeners as failures. This is equivalent to
opening the session and calling Session.abandon()
.
Parameters | |
---|---|
sessionId |
int |
Throws | |
---|---|
SecurityException |
when the caller does not own the session, or the session is invalid. |
checkInstallConstraints
public void checkInstallConstraints (List<String> packageNames, PackageInstaller.InstallConstraints constraints, Executor executor, Consumer<PackageInstaller.InstallConstraintsResult> callback)
Check if install constraints are satisfied for the given packages. Note this query result is just a hint and subject to race because system states could change anytime in-between this query and committing the session. The result is returned by a callback because some constraints might take a long time to evaluate.
Parameters | |
---|---|
packageNames |
List : a list of package names to check the constraints for installation
This value cannot be null . |
constraints |
PackageInstaller.InstallConstraints : the constraints for installation.
This value cannot be null . |
executor |
Executor : the Executor on which to invoke the callback
This value cannot be null .
Callback and listener events are dispatched through this
Executor , providing an easy way to control which thread is
used. To dispatch events through the main thread of your
application, you can use
Context.getMainExecutor() .
Otherwise, provide an Executor that dispatches to an appropriate thread. |
callback |
Consumer : called when the InstallConstraintsResult is ready
This value cannot be null . |
Throws | |
---|---|
SecurityException |
if the given packages' installer of record doesn't match the caller's own package name or the installerPackageName set by the caller doesn't match the caller's own package name. |
commitSessionAfterInstallConstraintsAreMet
public void commitSessionAfterInstallConstraintsAreMet (int sessionId, IntentSender statusReceiver, PackageInstaller.InstallConstraints constraints, long timeoutMillis)
Commit the session when all constraints are satisfied. This is a convenient method to
combine waitForInstallConstraints(java.util.List, android.content.pm.PackageInstaller.InstallConstraints, android.content.IntentSender, long)
and Session.commit(IntentSender)
.
Once this method is called, the session is sealed and no additional mutations
may be performed on the session. In the case of timeout, you may commit the
session again using this method or Session.commit(IntentSender)
for retries.
Parameters | |
---|---|
sessionId |
int : the session ID to commit when all constraints are satisfied. |
statusReceiver |
IntentSender : Called when the state of the session changes. Intents
sent to this receiver contain EXTRA_STATUS .
Refer to the individual status codes on how to handle them.
This value cannot be null . |
constraints |
PackageInstaller.InstallConstraints : The requirements to satisfy before committing the session.
This value cannot be null . |
timeoutMillis |
long : The maximum time to wait, in milliseconds until the
constraints are satisfied. The caller will be notified via
statusReceiver if timeout happens before commit.
Value is a non-negative duration in milliseconds. |
Throws | |
---|---|
IllegalArgumentException |
if the statusReceiver from an immutable
PendingIntent when caller has a target SDK of API
35 or above. |
createSession
public int createSession (PackageInstaller.SessionParams params)
Create a new session using the given parameters, returning a unique ID that represents the session. Once created, the session can be opened multiple times across multiple device boots.

Parameters | |
---|---|
params |
PackageInstaller.SessionParams : This value cannot be null . |
Returns | |
---|---|
int |
positive, non-zero unique ID that represents the created session. This ID remains consistent across device reboots until the session is finalized. IDs are not reused during a given boot. |
Throws | |
---|---|
IOException |
if parameters were unsatisfiable, such as lack of disk space or unavailable media. |
SecurityException |
when installation services are unavailable, such as when called from a restricted user. |
IllegalArgumentException |
when SessionParams is invalid. |
