Non-portably, at least as of the last time I tried something similar you can get the apk code paths out of packages.xml, open the apk's as zip files, demangle the binary manifests (there's code for that on the net) and pull out the information you seek. Doing so becomes marginally off topic for this group, but probably still of interest to your chosen target audience. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
