About this Package

This plugin is purposed for Android use only. Allowing easier access to most commonly used methods of Android's PackageManager API. Adapted a few methods from existing package package_manager which seems not to be maintained recently.

Getting Started

Importing:

import package:android_package_manager/android_package_manager.dart;

Singleton access example:

final pm = AndroidPackageManager();

Available Methods

Please see official documentation of PackageManager API.
Disclaimer: I have been trying to adapt most of the available methods. Done with some simple instrumentation tests.
Tested methods can be found at

'example/integration_test/android_package_manager_test.dart'

Example Flutter app demonstrates the getInstalledApplications method.

TO-DOs

• Proper documentation
• DartDocs
• Adjusting some methods to be Android Tiramisu compatible (deprecating some methods)
• Documenting bitmask values
• Separating interfaces into a separate package (maybe)
