I’ve just been trying out creating a list of applications installed on Android. I want to do this so I have a list of applications I’ve installed before I backup and reset my phone to factory settings.
It’s going well so far, I have this information:
- package Name
- friendly name
- version number/code
- if its a system package (FLAG_SYSTEM)
- if its a persistent app (FLAG_PERSISTENT)
- and the application description
The last thing that I would like to have but that does not seem to exist is the name of the person/group/company etc that created the application. That way I can see if I have multiple applications by the same creator.
Is there a specific place this is stored in Android packages or does it just not exist?
I’ve had a good search around but I can not find anything, but I thought I would try a specific query about it before I give up.
Thanks in advance
This is not stored anywhere in your Android package AFAIK. It’s only set by the developer when they register their developer account.
