Name not found exception at PackageManager.GET_CONFIGURATIONS

Question

I'm trying to display versionName using below code

PackageManager pkm = getPackageManager();
PackageInfo pki = pkm.getPackageInfo("com.example", PackageManager.GET_CONFIGURATIONS);
String tempCurrentVersion = pki.versionName;

But I'm getting exception at PackageManager.GET_CONFIGURATIONS as NameNotFoundException

Please tell me how i can solve this issue.

Thanks

Solution 1

I use this is my app and it works correctly.

String mVersion = this.getPackageManager().getPackageInfo(
    "com.safeneighborhood", 0).versionName;

If that doesn't work make sure your package name is correct. There aren't any special permissions for this.

Solution 2

Looks like it is necessary to use try-catch, to prevent NameNotFoundException error. This solution works for me: PackageInfo versionCode and versionName null on phone, but works on emulator .

I get a compile-time error of Unhandled exception type PackageManager.NameNotFoundException using this approach.
