Class Overview

Base class containing information common to all application components (ActivityInfo, ServiceInfo). This class is not intended to be used by itself; it is simply here to share common definitions between all application components. As such, it does not itself implement Parcelable, but does provide convenience methods to assist in the implementation of Parcelable in subclasses.

Fields

public ApplicationInfo applicationInfo

Added in API level 1

Global information about the application/package this component is a part of.

public int descriptionRes

Added in API level 8

A string resource identifier (in the package's resources) containing a user-readable description of the component. From the "description" attribute or, if not set, 0.

public boolean enabled

Added in API level 1

Indicates whether or not this component may be instantiated. Note that this value can be overriden by the one in its parent ApplicationInfo.

public boolean exported

Added in API level 1

Set to true if this component is available for use by other applications. Comes from android:exported of the <activity>, <receiver>, <service>, or <provider> tag.

public String processName

Added in API level 1

The name of the process this component should run in. From the "android:process" attribute or, if not set, the same as applicationInfo.processName.

Public Methods

public final int getIconResource ()

Added in API level 1

Return the icon resource identifier to use for this component. If the component defines an icon, that is used; else, the application icon is used.

public boolean isEnabled ()

Added in API level 11

Return whether this component and its enclosing application are enabled.

public CharSequence loadLabel (PackageManager pm)

Parameters
pm A PackageManager from which the label can be loaded; usually the PackageManager from which you originally retrieved this item.
Returns
  • Returns a CharSequence containing the item's label. If the item does not have a label, its name is returned.

public void writeToParcel (Parcel dest, int parcelableFlags)
