Question

In here:
install / uninstall APKs programmatically (PackageManager vs Intents)

The poster refers to an apkUri for uninstalling an APK. How would I have the android app generate a Uri to itself? And/or what would a URI to an app’s own APK look like?

Answer 1

Use:

Uri packageURI = Uri.parse("package:com.android.myapp");
Intent uninstallIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_DELETE, packageURI);
startActivity(uninstallIntent);

Make sure to replace com.android.myapp with your package name
