How to get package name from anywhere?

I am aware of the availability of Context.getApplicationContext() and View.getContext(), through which I can actually call Context.getPackageName() to retrieve the package name of an application.

They work if I call from a method to which a View or an Activity object is available, but if I want to find the package name from a totally independent class with no View or Activity, is there a way to do that (directly or indirectly开发者_如何学C)?

An idea is to have a static variable in your main activity, instantiated to be the package name. Then just reference that variable.

You will have to initialize it in the main activity's onCreate() method:

Global to the class:

public static String PACKAGE_NAME;

Then..

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.main);

    PACKAGE_NAME = getApplicationContext().getPackageName();
}

You can then access it via Main.PACKAGE_NAME.

If you use the gradle-android-plugin to build your app, then you can use

BuildConfig.APPLICATION_ID

to retrieve the package name from any scope, incl. a static one.

If with the word "anywhere" you mean without having an explicit Context (for example from a background thread) you should define a class in your project like:

public class MyApp extends Application {
    private static MyApp instance;

    public static MyApp getInstance() {
        return instance;
    }

    public static Context getContext(){
        return instance;
        // or return instance.getApplicationContext();
    }

    @Override
    public void onCreate() {
        instance = this;
        super.onCreate();
    }
}

Then in your manifest you need to add this class to the Name field at the Application tab. Or edit the xml and put

<application
    android:name="com.example.app.MyApp"
    android:icon="@drawable/icon"
    android:label="@string/app_name"
    .......
    <activity
        ......

and then from anywhere you can call

String packagename= MyApp.getContext().getPackageName();

Hope it helps.

If you use gradle build, use this: BuildConfig.APPLICATION_ID to get the package name of the application.

For those who are using Gradle, as @Billda mentioned, you can get the package name via:

BuildConfig.APPLICATION_ID

This gives you the package name declared in your app gradle:

android {
    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.domain.www"
    }
}

If you are interested to get the package name used by your java classes (which sometimes is different than applicationId), you can use

BuildConfig.class.getPackage().toString()

If you are confused which one to use, read here:

Note: The application ID used to be directly tied to your code's package name; so some Android APIs use the term "package name" in their method names and parameter names, but this is actually your application ID. For example, the Context.getPackageName() method returns your application ID. There's no need to ever share your code's true package name outside your app code.

Just use this code

val packageName = context.packageName 

private String getApplicationName(Context context, String data, int flag) {

   final PackageManager pckManager = context.getPackageManager();
   ApplicationInfo applicationInformation;
   try {
       applicationInformation = pckManager.getApplicationInfo(data, flag);
   } catch (PackageManager.NameNotFoundException e) {
       applicationInformation = null;
   }
   final String applicationName = (String) (applicationInformation != null ? pckManager.getApplicationLabel(applicationInformation) : "(unknown)");
   return applicationName;

}

You can get your package name like so:

$ /path/to/adb shell 'pm list packages -f myapp'
package:/data/app/mycompany.myapp-2.apk=mycompany.myapp

Here are the options:

  adb reboot [bootloader|recovery]
                               - reboots the device, optionally into the bootloader or recovery program.
  adb reboot sideload          - reboots the device into the sideload mode in recovery program (adb root required).
  adb reboot sideload-auto-reboot
                               - reboots into the sideload mode, then reboots automatically after the sideload regardless of the result.

  adb root                     - restarts the adbd daemon with root permissions

  adb usb                      - restarts the adbd daemon listening on USB
  adb tcpip <port>             - restarts the adbd daemon listening on TCP on the specified port

networking:
  adb ppp <tty> [parameters]   - Run PPP over USB.
 Note: you should not automatically start a PPP connection.
 <tty> refers to the tty for PPP stream. Eg. dev:/dev/omap_csmi_tty1
 [parameters] - Eg. defaultroute debug dump local notty usepeerdns

adb sync notes: adb sync [ <directory> ]
  <localdir> can be interpreted in several ways:

  - If <directory> is not specified, /system, /vendor (if present), /oem (if present) and /data partitions will be updated.

  - If it is "system", "vendor", "oem" or "data", only the corresponding partition
    is updated.

environment variables:
  ADB_TRACE                    - Print debug information. A comma separated list of the following values
                                 1 or all, adb, sockets, packets, rwx, usb, sync, sysdeps, transport, jdwp
  ANDROID_SERIAL               - The serial number to connect to. -s takes priority over this if given.
  ANDROID_LOG_TAGS             - When used with the logcat option, only these debug tags are printed.

You can use undocumented method android.app.ActivityThread.currentPackageName() :

Class<?> clazz = Class.forName("android.app.ActivityThread");
Method method  = clazz.getDeclaredMethod("currentPackageName", null);
String appPackageName = (String) method.invoke(clazz, null);

Caveat: This must be done on the main thread of the application.

Thanks to this blog post for the idea: http://blog.javia.org/static-the-android-application-package/ .

PackageInfo pinfo = this.getPackageManager().getPackageInfo(getPackageName(), 0);
         String sVersionCode = pinfo.versionCode; // 1
         String sVersionName = pinfo.versionName; // 1.0
         String sPackName = getPackageName(); // cz.okhelp.my_app
         int nSdkVersion = Integer.parseInt(Build.VERSION.SDK); 
         int nSdkVers = Build.VERSION.SDK_INT; 

Hope it will work.

Use: BuildConfig.APPLICATION_ID to get PACKAGE NAME anywhere( ie; services, receiver, activity, fragment, etc )

Example: String PackageName = BuildConfig.APPLICATION_ID;

Create a java module to be initially run when starting your app. This module would be extending the android Application class and would initialize any global app variables and also contain app-wide utility routines -

public class MyApplicationName extends Application {

    private final String PACKAGE_NAME = "com.mysite.myAppPackageName";

    public String getPackageName() { return PACKAGE_NAME; }
}

Of course, this could include logic to obtain the package name from the android system; however, the above is smaller, faster and cleaner code than obtaining it from android.

Be sure to place an entry in your AndroidManifest.xml file to tell android to run your application module before running any activities -

<application 
    android:name=".MyApplicationName" 
    ...
>

Then, to obtain the package name from any other module, enter

MyApp myApp = (MyApp) getApplicationContext();
String myPackage = myApp.getPackageName();

Using an application module also gives you a context for modules that need but don't have a context.

Just import Android.app，then you can use: <br/>Application.getProcessName()<br/>

Get the current Application Process Name without context, view, or activity.

BuildConfig.APPLICATION_ID and package may not always be the same. Use "buildConfigField" to have gradle add package to the BuildConfig and access as BuildConfig.PACKAGE. https://developer.android.com/studio/build/gradle-tips

defaultConfig {
    applicationId "com.example.app.name"
    minSdkVersion 24
    targetSdkVersion 29
    versionCode 1
    versionName '0.1.0'
    testInstrumentationRunner "androidx.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
    buildConfigField("String", "PACKAGE", "\"com.example.app\"")
}

This works for me in kotlin

       override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main)
       
        var packageName=applicationContext.packageName // need to put this line
        Log.d("YourTag",packageName)
}
