One App Checks for Another App

[mmieher]

I have an App where I want to verify that a different Service app has not been uninstalled from some sneaky user's device.

Any ideas? Cannot seem to find the file location of where the apk for the service installed.

Thanks.

Is the other app your service app?

Without root/superuser rights its IMHO impossible to check for files/APKs of other apps.

You can use the package manager to check whether a particular package (app) has been installed. Many other apps do this.

Thank you.

The other app is a service app from a completely separate package. Going to give the Package Manager a shot.

Thanks, will give it a try.
