## Fields
### CREATOR
Added in[API level 30](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)
```
public static final Creator CREATOR
```
## Public methods
### describeContents
Added in[API level 30](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)
```
public int describeContents ()
```
Describe the kinds of special objects contained in this Parcelable instance's marshaled representation. For example, if the object will include a file descriptor in the output of[writeToParcel(android.os.Parcel, int)](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/Parcelable#writeToParcel(android.os.Parcel,%20int)), the return value of this method must include the[CONTENTS_FILE_DESCRIPTOR](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/Parcelable#CONTENTS_FILE_DESCRIPTOR)bit.
| Returns ||
|-------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `int` | a bitmask indicating the set of special object types marshaled by this Parcelable object instance. Value is either`0`or[CONTENTS_FILE_DESCRIPTOR](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/Parcelable#CONTENTS_FILE_DESCRIPTOR)
|
### getInitiatingPackageName
Added in[API level 30](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)
```
public String getInitiatingPackageName ()
```
The name of the package that requested the installation, or null if not available. This is normally the same as the installing package name. If the installing package name is changed, for example by calling[PackageManager.setInstallerPackageName(String, String)](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/pm/PackageManager#setInstallerPackageName(java.lang.String,%20java.lang.String)), the initiating package name remains unchanged. It continues to identify the actual package that performed the install or update.
Null may be returned if the app was not installed by a package (e.g. a system app) or if the initiating package has itself been uninstalled.
| Returns ||
|--------------------------------------------------------------------|--------|
| [String](https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/String) |
|
### getInitiatingPackageSigningInfo
Added in[API level 30](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)
```
public SigningInfo getInitiatingPackageSigningInfo ()
```
Information about the signing certificates used to sign the initiating package, if available.
| Returns ||
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|---------------------------------|
| [SigningInfo](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/pm/SigningInfo) | This value may be`null`.
|
### getInstallingPackageName
Added in[API level 30](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)
```
public String getInstallingPackageName ()
```
The name of the package responsible for the installation (the installer of record), or null if not available. Note that this may differ from the initiating package name and can be modified via[PackageManager.setInstallerPackageName(String, String)](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/pm/PackageManager#setInstallerPackageName(java.lang.String,%20java.lang.String)).
Null may be returned if the app was not installed by a package (e.g. a system app or an app installed via adb) or if the installing package has itself been uninstalled.
| Returns ||
|--------------------------------------------------------------------|--------|
| [String](https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/String) |
|
### getOriginatingPackageName
Added in[API level 30](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)
```
public String getOriginatingPackageName ()
```
The name of the package on behalf of which the initiating package requested the installation, or null if not available.
For example if a downloaded APK is installed via the Package Installer this could be the app that performed the download. This value is provided by the initiating package and not verified by the framework.
Note that the`InstallSourceInfo`returned by[PackageManager.getInstallSourceInfo(String)](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/pm/PackageManager#getInstallSourceInfo(java.lang.String))will not have this information available unless the calling application holds the INSTALL_PACKAGES permission.
| Returns ||
|--------------------------------------------------------------------|--------|
| [String](https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/String) |
|
### getPackageSource
Added in[API level 33](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)
```
public int getPackageSource ()
```
Information about the package source when installer installed this app.
| Returns ||
|-------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `int` | Value is[PackageInstaller.PACKAGE_SOURCE_UNSPECIFIED](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/pm/PackageInstaller#PACKAGE_SOURCE_UNSPECIFIED),[PackageInstaller.PACKAGE_SOURCE_STORE](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/pm/PackageInstaller#PACKAGE_SOURCE_STORE),[PackageInstaller.PACKAGE_SOURCE_LOCAL_FILE](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/pm/PackageInstaller#PACKAGE_SOURCE_LOCAL_FILE),[PackageInstaller.PACKAGE_SOURCE_DOWNLOADED_FILE](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/pm/PackageInstaller#PACKAGE_SOURCE_DOWNLOADED_FILE), or[PackageInstaller.PACKAGE_SOURCE_OTHER](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/pm/PackageInstaller#PACKAGE_SOURCE_OTHER)
|
### getUpdateOwnerPackageName

```
public String getUpdateOwnerPackageName ()
```
The name of the package that is the update owner, or null if not available. This indicates the update ownership enforcement is enabled for this app, and which package is the update owner. Returns null if the update ownership enforcement is disabled for the app.
| Returns ||
|--------------------------------------------------------------------|--------|
| [String](https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/String) |
|

| `flags` | `int`: Additional flags about how the object should be written. May be 0 or[Parcelable.PARCELABLE_WRITE_RETURN_VALUE](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/Parcelable#PARCELABLE_WRITE_RETURN_VALUE). Value is either`0`or a combination of[Parcelable.PARCELABLE_WRITE_RETURN_VALUE](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/Parcelable#PARCELABLE_WRITE_RETURN_VALUE), and android.os.Parcelable.PARCELABLE_ELIDE_DUPLICATES
