Android Question Size of each app installed

[Lucas Eduardo]

How can i get the size of each app installed?

with this code i can list all packages names

Dim pm As PackageManager
Dim packages As List
packages = pm.GetInstalledPackages
For i = 0 To packages.Size - 1
    Log(packages.Get(i))
Next

It is possible to get this information on Android 8+ with a special permission that the user needs to enable in the settings page. Not so simple but possible. If relevant I will write an example.

I will appreciate if you write an example.

Thank you.

Example of using StorageStatsManager and StorageManager to list all apps sizes is attached.

Note that minSdkVersion is set to 26 (Android 8).

Is there no way to do this in Android older than Android 8?

See my answer in post number #2.

The StorageStatsManager is added in Api 26.

Yes, i saw that, but in other applications they do the same thing with older versions, so there is a way.
