what does the applicationInfo flags mean?

Hi

I've tried figuring out what the applicationInfo flags like 48709 means, but I can't find any info on it at all???

If it isn't clear what I'm talking about:sign0144:, i got some code here:

For i = 0 To size -1
      Obj3.Target = Obj2.RunMethod2("get", i, "java.lang.int") ' PackageInfo
      name = Obj3.GetField("packageName")
      Obj3.Target = Obj3.GetField("applicationInfo") ' ApplicationInfo      
      flags = Obj3.GetField("flags")   
      
      If Bit.And(flags, 1)  = 0 Then
         'app is not in the system image
            
         args(0) = Obj3.Target
         types(0) = "android.content.pm.ApplicationInfo" 
         name = Obj1.RunMethod4("getApplicationLabel", args, types)
         Usermsg = Usermsg & name & " : " & flags & CRLF
         Usercount = Usercount + 1
      Else
         'app is in the system image
            
         args(0) = Obj3.Target
         types(0) = "android.content.pm.ApplicationInfo" 
         name = Obj1.RunMethod4("getApplicationLabel", args, types)
         Systemmsg = Systemmsg & name & " : " & flags & CRLF
         Systemcount = Systemcount + 1
      End If      
   Next

Information you can retrieve about a particular application. This corresponds to information collected from the AndroidManifest.xml's <application> tag.

The value is a combination of flags.
For example to test if the flag FLAG_UPDATED_SYSTEM_APP (128) is set you can check:

If Bit.And(flags, 128) <> 0 Then
 'flag is set
End If

Yes, I've seen that list.

But how do I decipher the value 48709?
Do I have to check for each and every bit-value??

Here:

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
   BreakCombinedFlags(48709)
End Sub
Sub BreakCombinedFlags (v As Int)
   Dim n As Int
   For i = 0 To 31
      n = Bit.ShiftLeft(1, i)
      If Bit.And(n, v) <> 0 Then Log(n)
   Next
End Sub

Result:

1
4
64
512
1024
2048
4096
8192
32768
