    <p>I have an application which is keeping a log of internally developed applications installed on the device. Upon installation a broadcast receiver for Intent.PACKAGE_ADDED is invoked and records the package name using the following code:</p> <pre><code>public class NewInstallReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver { @Override public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) { Bundle b = intent.getExtras(); int uid = b.getInt(Intent.EXTRA_UID); String[] packages = context.getPackageManager().getPackagesForUid(uid); ApplicationService appService = new ApplicationService(context); appService.ApplicationInstalled(packages); } } </code></pre> <p>The problem I'm facing is when using a broadcast receiver for Intent.PACKAGE_REMOVED, all reference to the package via the unique Id (UID) comes back with null information (As you would expect, given its already been uninstalled). I have a temporary solution for the meantime, but its not very elegant, and for the next version I would like to have cleaner code. An example of how the code should work:</p> <pre><code>public class RemoveApplicationReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver { @Override public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) { Bundle b = intent.getExtras(); int uid = b.getInt(Intent.EXTRA_UID); String[] packages = context.getPackageManager().getPackagesForUid(uid); ApplicationService appService = new ApplicationService(context); appService.ApplicationRemoved(packages); } } </code></pre> <p>So to recap, the question is:</p> <p>How, after a program has been removed, can I reference the package name in a broadcast receiver for Intent.PACKAGE_REMOVED.</p> <p>Thanks</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
