Im currently disabling an application via
setApplicationEnabledSetting(String, int, int)
The application is actually disabling itself.
I would expect upon re-installation of the app, the app would re-enable itself, however this isnt the case.
Is there a particular setting required in the manifest to make this work.
(Ive tried setting enabled=true)
Thanks
Im currently disabling all components apart from a broadcast receiver and am trying to catch the installation process to re-enable all the other components again. Which is nasty to say the least
One way to do this is to listen to package installation broadcasts and take action accordingly.
- Listen to
Intent.ACTION_PACKAGE_ADDED
in your broadcast receiver.
- If the newly added package is yours, enable the other components.
Example
Manifest:
<receiver android:name =".MyReceiver">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.PACKAGE_ADDED"/>
<data android:scheme="package" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
Receiver:
public class MyReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
final String action = intent.getAction();
if (Intent.ACTION_PACKAGE_ADDED.equals(action)) {
final boolean replacing = intent.getBooleanExtra(Intent.EXTRA_REPLACING, false);
final String packageName = intent.getData().getSchemeSpecificPart();
if (replacing && "my.package.name".equals(packageName)) {
// Re-enable the other components
}
}
}
}
Hope this helps.
