Android, Get Installed App Size and Date

Question

In Android, How I can get app installed date and how I can get installed app size.

I am using below code to get app size but it is not correct

List packs = getPackageManager().getInstalledPackages(0);

for(i=0;i<packs.size();i++) {
    PackageInfo p = packs.get(i);
    ApplicationInfo appInfo =p.applicationInfo;
    long fileSize = new FileInputStream(appInfo.sourceDir).getChannel().size();
}

Please help me.. Thanks,

Ajay,

To get the installation date you will want to use the PackageManager class. More specifically the getPackageInfo() method. This will return to you a PackageInfo object which contains firstInstallTime value.

There does not currently exist a public API to get an application's size as PackageManager.getpackageSizeInfo() was removed from the API from SDK 0.9 to SDK 1.0. See HERE

Good luck!
