# react-native-android-packagemanager

Gives you some access to Android's [PackageManager](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/pm/PackageManager.html) APIs, for instance to read the metadata inside an APK file.

## Getting started

`$ npm install react-native-android-packagemanager --save`

### Easy installation

`$ react-native link react-native-android-packagemanager`

### Manual installation

#### Android

1. Open up `android/app/src/main/java/[...]/MainActivity.java`

  - Add `import com.reactlibrary.RNAndroidPackagemanagerPackage;` to the imports at the top of the file

  - Add `new RNAndroidPackagemanagerPackage()` to the list returned by the `getPackages()` method

2. Append the following lines to `android/settings.gradle`:

    ```

    include ':react-native-android-packagemanager'

    project(':react-native-android-packagemanager').projectDir = new File(rootProject.projectDir,   '../node_modules/react-native-android-packagemanager/android')

    ```

3. Insert the following lines inside the dependencies block in `android/app/build.gradle`:

    ```

      compile project(':react-native-android-packagemanager')

    ```

```javascript

import RNAndroidPM from 'react-native-android-packagemanager';

RNAndroidPM.getPackageInfo('/storage/emulated/0/myapp.apk')
