File Location of APK

[Bill Norris]

What is the internal storage location of the APK file. I am hoping to be able to read it's lastmodified value, so I can display it in my "About" activity.

Its in /data/data/packagename or /data/apps but you cannot access it without root.

RE:

Actually found it in defaultrootexternal and am able to get its lastmodified property without problem. However, I would prefer to use the Application Version feature, but when I try to use PackageManager I must need to add a library reference because it is coming up as Unknown Type.

That's is not the actual location of the app, that's the compiled APK B4A bridge creates and installs to the device, the location of the APKs are where thedesolatesoul mentioned above.

RE:

Oh, I see. Well, anyway I can get the info I need from that file. Thanks

That file will most likely not be there if a user installs from the market. Only installing with the bridge will create that file.
