Android, get app size

Question

I\'m looking for a way to calculate the size of an installed Android application/package. I can\'t find this information in neither ApplicationInfo nor PackageInfo objects.

Answer 1

If you look at ManageApplications.java, you'll see that they use the hidden getPackageSizeInfo method of the PackageManager. This isn't part of the public API, so you shouldn't really use it.

Here's an example of how you shouldn't use it!
