Intent to get the UID of application uninstalled
android, android-intent, uid
Solution
You can't get the UID after the package has been uninstalled because it is no longer there. The broadcast `Intent` is sent after the package has been removed. However...
...from the documentation:
The broadcast `Intent` that is broadcast when the application is removed (uninstalled) contains an extra `EXTRA_UID` containing the integer uid previously assigned to the package.
Problem
i've a receiver that is fired on any application uninstall. I want to get the UID of the application . Currently i got the package name that was uninstalled but when i'm trying to get the UID, its returning null. Currently, i'm getting the UID of any package from following code. ``` public String getID(String pckg_name) { ApplicationInfo ai = null; String id = ""; try { ai = pm.getApplicationInfo(pckg_name, 0); id = "" + ai.uid; } catch (final NameNotFoundException e) { id = ""; } return id; } ```
