Get Size Of A Package

Question

I am trying to do a simple application manager app and I couldn't manage to get the specific package size and that's the only thing left for me to do.

I tried calculating using BlockSize(StatFs) but that didn't work. I want to get the size in MB.

Could you add more code / context? As is, what you're trying to do and what you've tried is still unclear. — dimo414, Dec 30 '13 at 06:31

this may help you... this will give the size in bytes...

public static long getPackageSize(Context context,String packageName) {
    PackageManager packageManager = context.getPackageManager();
    try {
        ApplicationInfo applicationInfo = packageManager.getApplicationInfo(packageName,PackageManager.GET_SHARED_LIBRARY_FILES);
        File file = new File(applicationInfo.publicSourceDir);
        return file.length();
    } catch (NameNotFoundException e) {
    }
    return 0;
}

so to convert this to megabytes i need to divide this with 1024?for example : long file.length()/1024 – user2892143 Dec 30 '13 at 11:45
long kb = bytes/1024; long mb = kb/1024; – Gopal Gopi Dec 30 '13 at 11:48
