getAppUidForSdkSandboxUid

static fun getAppUidForSdkSandboxUid(uid: Int): Int

Returns the app uid corresponding to an sdk sandbox uid.

getElapsedCpuTime

static fun getElapsedCpuTime(): Long

Returns elapsed milliseconds of the time this process has run.

getExclusiveCores

static fun getExclusiveCores(): IntArray!

On some devices, the foreground process may have one or more CPU cores exclusively reserved for it. This method can be used to retrieve which cores that are (if any), so the calling process can then use sched_setaffinity() to lock a thread to these cores. Note that the calling process must currently be running in the foreground for this method to return any cores. The CPU core(s) exclusively reserved for the foreground process will stay reserved for as long as the process stays in the foreground. As soon as a process leaves the foreground, those CPU cores will no longer be reserved for it, and will most likely be reserved for the new foreground process. It's not necessary to change the affinity of your process when it leaves the foreground (if you had previously set it to use a reserved core); the OS will automatically take care of resetting the affinity at that point.

getGidForName

static fun getGidForName(name: String!): Int

Returns the GID assigned to a particular user name, or -1 if there is none. If the given string consists of only numbers, it is converted directly to a gid.

getSdkSandboxUidForAppUid

static fun getSdkSandboxUidForAppUid(uid: Int): Int

Returns the sdk sandbox uid corresponding to an app uid.

getStartElapsedRealtime

open static fun getStartElapsedRealtime(): Long

Return the SystemClock.elapsedRealtime() at which this process was started, but before any of the application code was executed.
Value is a non-negative timestamp in the android.os.SystemClock#elapsedRealtime() time base.

getStartRequestedElapsedRealtime

open static fun getStartRequestedElapsedRealtime(): Long

Return the SystemClock.elapsedRealtime() at which the system was about to start this process. i.e. before a zygote fork.

More precisely, the system may start app processes before there's a start request, in order to reduce the process start up latency, in which case this is set when the system decides to "specialize" the process into a requested app.
Value is a non-negative timestamp in the android.os.SystemClock#elapsedRealtime() time base.

getStartRequestedUptimeMillis

open static fun getStartRequestedUptimeMillis(): Long

Return the SystemClock.uptimeMillis() at which the system was about to start this process. i.e. before a zygote fork.

More precisely, the system may start app processes before there's a start request, in order to reduce the process start up latency, in which case this is set when the system decides to "specialize" the process into a requested app.
Value is a non-negative timestamp in the android.os.SystemClock#uptimeMillis() time base.

getStartUptimeMillis

open static fun getStartUptimeMillis(): Long

Return the SystemClock.uptimeMillis() at which this process was started, but before any of the application code was executed.
Value is a non-negative timestamp in the android.os.SystemClock#uptimeMillis() time base.

getThreadPriority

static fun getThreadPriority(tid: Int): Int

Return the current priority of a thread, based on Linux priorities.

getUidForName

static fun getUidForName(name: String!): Int

Returns the UID assigned to a particular user name, or -1 if there is none. If the given string consists of only numbers, it is converted directly to a uid.

is64Bit

static fun is64Bit(): Boolean

Returns true if the current process is a 64-bit runtime.

isApplicationUid

open static fun isApplicationUid(uid: Int): Boolean

Returns whether the given uid belongs to an application.

isIsolated

static fun isIsolated(): Boolean

Returns whether the current process is in an isolated sandbox.

isIsolatedUid

static fun isIsolatedUid(uid: Int): Boolean

Returns whether the process with the given uid is an isolated sandbox.

isSdkSandbox

static fun isSdkSandbox(): Boolean

Returns whether the current process is a sdk sandbox process.

isSdkSandboxUid

static fun isSdkSandboxUid(uid: Int): Boolean

Returns whether the provided UID belongs to an sdk sandbox process

killProcess

static fun killProcess(pid: Int): Unit

Kill the process with the given PID. Note that, though this API allows us to request to kill any process based on its PID, the kernel will still impose standard restrictions on which PIDs you are actually able to kill. Typically this means only the process running the caller's packages/application and any additional processes created by that app; packages sharing a common UID will also be able to kill each other's processes.

myPid

static fun myPid(): Int

Returns the identifier of this process, which can be used with killProcess and sendSignal.

myProcessName

open static fun myProcessName(): String

Return the name of this process. By default, the process name is the same as the app's package name, but this can be changed using android:process.

myTid

static fun myTid(): Int

Returns the identifier of the calling thread, which be used with setThreadPriority(int,int).

myUid

static fun myUid(): Int

Returns the identifier of this process's uid. This is the kernel uid that the process is running under, which is the identity of its app-specific sandbox. It is different from myUserHandle in that a uid identifies a specific app sandbox in a specific user.

myUserHandle

open static fun myUserHandle(): UserHandle!

Returns this process's user handle. This is the user the process is running under. It is distinct from myUid() in that a particular user will have multiple distinct apps running under it each with their own uid.

sendSignal

static fun sendSignal(
    pid: Int, 
    signal: Int
): Unit

Send a signal to the given process.

setThreadPriority

static fun setThreadPriority(priority: Int): Unit

Set the priority of the calling thread, based on Linux priorities. See setThreadPriority(int,int) for more information.

setThreadPriority

static fun setThreadPriority(
    tid: Int, 
    priority: Int
): Unit

Set the priority of a thread, based on Linux priorities.

supportsProcesses

static fun supportsProcesses(): Boolean

Deprecated: This method always returns true. Do not use.

Determine whether the current environment supports multiple processes.
