`String`	`APP_OPS_SERVICE` Use with `getSystemService(java.lang.String)` to retrieve a `android.app.AppOpsManager` for tracking application operations on the device.
`String`	`APP_SEARCH_SERVICE` Use with `getSystemService(java.lang.String)` to retrieve an `android.app.appsearch.AppSearchManager` for indexing and querying app data managed by the system.
`String`	`AUDIO_SERVICE` Use with `getSystemService(java.lang.String)` to retrieve a `android.media.AudioManager` for handling management of volume, ringer modes and audio routing.
`String`	`BATTERY_SERVICE` Use with `getSystemService(java.lang.String)` to retrieve a `android.os.BatteryManager` for managing battery state.
`Int`	`BIND_ABOVE_CLIENT` Flag for #bindService: indicates that the client application binding to this service considers the service to be more important than the app itself. When set, the platform will try to have the out of memory killer kill the app before it kills the service it is bound to, though this is not guaranteed to be the case.
`Int`	`BIND_ADJUST_WITH_ACTIVITY` Flag for #bindService: If binding from an activity, allow the target service's process importance to be raised based on whether the activity is visible to the user, regardless whether another flag is used to reduce the amount that the client process's overall importance is used to impact it.
`Int`	`BIND_ALLOW_ACTIVITY_STARTS` Flag for #bindService: If binding from an app that is visible, the bound service is allowed to start an activity from background. This was the default behavior before SDK version `android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES#UPSIDE_DOWN_CAKE`. Since then, the default behavior changed to disallow the bound service to start a background activity even if the app bound to it is in foreground, unless this flag is specified when binding.
`Int`	`BIND_ALLOW_OOM_MANAGEMENT` Flag for #bindService: allow the process hosting the bound service to go through its normal memory management. It will be treated more like a running service, allowing the system to (temporarily) expunge the process if low on memory or for some other whim it may have, and being more aggressive about making it a candidate to be killed (and restarted) if running for a long time.
`Int`	`BIND_AUTO_CREATE` Flag for #bindService: automatically create the service as long as the binding exists. Note that while this will create the service, its `android.app.Service#onStartCommand` method will still only be called due to an explicit call to `startService`. Even without that, though, this still provides you with access to the service object while the service is created. Note that prior to `android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES#ICE_CREAM_SANDWICH`, not supplying this flag would also impact how important the system consider's the target service's process to be. When set, the only way for it to be raised was by binding from a service in which case it will only be important when that activity is in the foreground. Now to achieve this behavior you must explicitly supply the new flag `BIND_ADJUST_WITH_ACTIVITY`. For compatibility, old applications that don't specify `BIND_AUTO_CREATE` will automatically have the flags `BIND_WAIVE_PRIORITY` and `BIND_ADJUST_WITH_ACTIVITY` set for them in order to achieve the same result.
`Int`	`BIND_DEBUG_UNBIND` Flag for #bindService: include debugging help for mismatched calls to unbind. When this flag is set, the callstack of the following `unbindService` call is retained, to be printed if a later incorrect unbind call is made. Note that doing this requires retaining information about the binding that was made for the lifetime of the app, resulting in a leak -- this should only be used for debugging.
`Int`	`BIND_EXTERNAL_SERVICE` Flag for #bindService: The service being bound is an `isolated`, `external` service. This binds the service into the calling application's package, rather than the package in which the service is declared. When using this flag, the code for the service being bound will execute under the calling application's package name and user ID. Because the service must be an isolated process, it will not have direct access to the application's data, though. The purpose of this flag is to allow applications to provide services that are attributed to the app using the service, rather than the application providing the service. This flag is NOT compatible with `BindServiceFlags`. If you need to use `BindServiceFlags`, you must use `BIND_EXTERNAL_SERVICE_LONG` instead.
`Long`	`BIND_EXTERNAL_SERVICE_LONG` Works in the same way as `BIND_EXTERNAL_SERVICE`, but it's defined as a `long` value that is compatible to `BindServiceFlags`.
`Int`	`BIND_IMPORTANT` Flag for #bindService: this service is very important to the client, so should be brought to the foreground process level when the client is. Normally a process can only be raised to the visibility level by a client, even if that client is in the foreground.
`Int`	`BIND_INCLUDE_CAPABILITIES` Flag for #bindService: If binding from an app that has specific capabilities due to its foreground state such as an activity or foreground service, then this flag will allow the bound app to get the same capabilities, as long as it has the required permissions as well. If binding from a top app and its target SDK version is at or above `android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES#R`, the app needs to explicitly use BIND_INCLUDE_CAPABILITIES flag to pass all capabilities to the service so the other app can have while-in-use access such as location, camera, microphone from background. If binding from a top app and its target SDK version is below `android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES#R`, BIND_INCLUDE_CAPABILITIES is implicit.
`Int`	`BIND_NOT_FOREGROUND` Flag for #bindService: don't allow this binding to raise the target service's process to the foreground scheduling priority. It will still be raised to at least the same memory priority as the client (so that its process will not be killable in any situation where the client is not killable), but for CPU scheduling purposes it may be left in the background. This only has an impact in the situation where the binding client is a foreground process and the target service is in a background process.
`Int`	`BIND_NOT_PERCEPTIBLE` Flag for #bindService: If binding from an app that is visible or user-perceptible, lower the target service's importance to below the perceptible level. This allows the system to (temporarily) expunge the bound process from memory to make room for more important user-perceptible processes.
`Int`	`BIND_PACKAGE_ISOLATED_PROCESS` Flag for #bindIsolatedService: Bind the service into a shared isolated process, but only with other isolated services from the same package that declare the same process name. Specifying this flag allows multiple isolated services defined in the same package to be running in a single shared isolated process. This shared isolated process must be specified since this flag will not work with the default application process. This flag is different from `BIND_SHARED_ISOLATED_PROCESS` since it only allows binding services from the same package in the same shared isolated process. This also means the shared package isolated process is global, and not scoped to each potential calling app. The shared isolated process instance is identified by the "android:process" attribute defined by the service. This flag cannot be used without this attribute set.
`Int`	`BIND_SHARED_ISOLATED_PROCESS` Flag for #bindIsolatedService: Bind the service into a shared isolated process. Specifying this flag allows multiple isolated services to be running in a single shared isolated process. The shared isolated process instance is identified by the instanceName parameter in `bindIsolatedService(android.content.Intent,int,java.lang.String,java.util.concurrent.Executor,android.content.ServiceConnection)`. Subsequent calls to #bindIsolatedService with the same instanceName will cause the isolated service to be co-located in the same shared isolated process. Note that the shared isolated process is scoped to the calling app; once created, only the calling app can bind additional isolated services into the shared process. However, the services themselves can come from different APKs and therefore different vendors. Only services that set the `android.R.attr#allowSharedIsolatedProcess` attribute to `true` are allowed to be bound into a shared isolated process.
`Int`	`BIND_WAIVE_PRIORITY` Flag for #bindService: don't impact the scheduling or memory management priority of the target service's hosting process. Allows the service's process to be managed on the background LRU list just like a regular application process in the background.
`String`	`BIOMETRIC_SERVICE` Use with `getSystemService(java.lang.String)` to retrieve a `android.hardware.biometrics.BiometricManager` for handling biometric and PIN/pattern/password authentication.

`String`	`CONTACT_KEYS_SERVICE` Use with `getSystemService(java.lang.String)` to retrieve a `E2eeContactKeysManager` to managing contact keys.
`Int`	`CONTEXT_IGNORE_SECURITY` Flag for use with `createPackageContext`: ignore any security restrictions on the Context being requested, allowing it to always be loaded. For use with `CONTEXT_INCLUDE_CODE` to allow code to be loaded into a process even when it isn't safe to do so. Use with extreme care!
`Int`	`CONTEXT_INCLUDE_CODE` Flag for use with `createPackageContext`: include the application code with the context. This means loading code into the caller's process, so that `getClassLoader()` can be used to instantiate the application's classes. Setting this flags imposes security restrictions on what application context you can access; if the requested application can not be safely loaded into your process, java.lang.SecurityException will be thrown. If this flag is not set, there will be no restrictions on the packages that can be loaded, but `getClassLoader` will always return the default system class loader.
`Int`	`CONTEXT_RESTRICTED` Flag for use with `createPackageContext`: a restricted context may disable specific features. For instance, a View associated with a restricted context would ignore particular XML attributes.
`String`	`CREDENTIAL_SERVICE` Use with `getSystemService(java.lang.String)` to retrieve a `android.credentials.CredentialManager` to authenticate a user to your app.

`Int`	`MODE_MULTI_PROCESS` SharedPreference loading flag: when set, the file on disk will be checked for modification even if the shared preferences instance is already loaded in this process. This behavior is sometimes desired in cases where the application has multiple processes, all writing to the same SharedPreferences file. Generally there are better forms of communication between processes, though. This was the legacy (but undocumented) behavior in and before Gingerbread (Android 2.3) and this flag is implied when targeting such releases.

This call is asynchronous; it returns immediately, and you will continue executing while the receivers are run. No results are propagated from receivers and receivers can not abort the broadcast. If you want to allow receivers to propagate results or abort the broadcast, you must send an ordered broadcast using `sendOrderedBroadcast(android.content.Intent,java.lang.String)`. See `BroadcastReceiver` for more information on Intent broadcasts.

open fun bindIsolatedService(
    service: Intent, 
    flags: Int, 
    instanceName: String, 
    executor: Executor, 
    conn: ServiceConnection
): Boolean

Variation of #bindService that, in the specific case of isolated services, allows the caller to generate multiple instances of a service from a single component declaration. In other words, you can use this to bind to a service that has specified android.R.attr#isolatedProcess and, in addition to the existing behavior of running in an isolated process, you can also through the arguments here have the system bring up multiple concurrent processes hosting their own instances of that service. The instanceName you provide here identifies the different instances, and you can use updateServiceGroup(android.content.ServiceConnection,int,int) to tell the system how it should manage each of these instances.

Parameters
`service`	Intent: Identifies the service to connect to. The Intent must specify an explicit component name. This value cannot be `null`.
`flags`	Int: Operation options for the binding as per #bindService.
`instanceName`	String: Unique identifier for the service instance. Each unique name here will result in a different service instance being created. Identifiers must only contain ASCII letters, digits, underscores, and periods. This value cannot be `null`.
`executor`	Executor: Callbacks on ServiceConnection will be called on executor. Must use same instance for the same instance of ServiceConnection. This value cannot be `null`. Callback and listener events are dispatched through this `Executor`, providing an easy way to control which thread is used. To dispatch events through the main thread of your application, you can use `Context.getMainExecutor()`. Otherwise, provide an `Executor` that dispatches to an appropriate thread.
`conn`	ServiceConnection: Receives information as the service is started and stopped. This must be a valid ServiceConnection object; it must not be null.

Return
`Boolean`	Returns success of binding as per #bindService.

Exceptions
`java.lang.IllegalArgumentException`	If the instanceName is invalid.
`java.lang.SecurityException`	If the caller does not have permission to access the service

Added in API level 34

open fun bindService(
    service: Intent, 
    flags: Context.BindServiceFlags, 
    executor: Executor, 
    conn: ServiceConnection
): Boolean

See bindService(android.content.Intent,int,java.util.concurrent.Executor,android.content.ServiceConnection) Call BindServiceFlags.of(long) to obtain a BindServiceFlags object.

Parameters
`service`	Intent: This value cannot be `null`.
`flags`	Context.BindServiceFlags: This value cannot be `null`.
`executor`	Executor: This value cannot be `null`.
`conn`	ServiceConnection: This value cannot be `null`.

bindService

Added in API level 34

open fun bindService(
    service: Intent, 
    conn: ServiceConnection, 
    flags: Context.BindServiceFlags
): Boolean

See bindService(android.content.Intent,android.content.ServiceConnection,int) Call BindServiceFlags.of(long) to obtain a BindServiceFlags object.

Parameters
`service`	Intent: This value cannot be `null`.
`conn`	ServiceConnection: This value cannot be `null`.
`flags`	Context.BindServiceFlags: This value cannot be `null`.

bindService

Added in API level 1

open fun bindService(
    service: Intent, 
    conn: ServiceConnection, 
    flags: Int
): Boolean

Connects to an application service, creating it if needed. This defines a dependency between your application and the service. The given conn will receive the service object when it is created and be told if it dies and restarts. The service will be considered required by the system only for as long as the calling context exists. For example, if this Context is an Activity that is stopped, the service will not be required to continue running until the Activity is resumed.

If the service does not support binding, it may return null from its onBind() method. If it does, then the ServiceConnection's onNullBinding() method will be invoked instead of onServiceConnected().

Note: This method cannot be called from a BroadcastReceiver component. A pattern you can use to communicate from a BroadcastReceiver to a Service is to call startService with the arguments containing the command to be sent, with the service calling its android.app.Service#stopSelf(int) method when done executing that command. See the API demo App/Service/Service Start Arguments Controller for an illustration of this. It is okay, however, to use this method from a BroadcastReceiver that has been registered with #registerReceiver, since the lifetime of this BroadcastReceiver is tied to another object (the one that registered it).

This method only accepts a int type flag, to pass in a long type flag, call bindService(android.content.Intent,android.content.ServiceConnection,android.content.Context.BindServiceFlags) instead.

Parameters
`service`	Intent: Identifies the service to connect to. The Intent must specify an explicit component name. This value cannot be `null`.
`conn`	ServiceConnection: Receives information as the service is started and stopped. This must be a valid ServiceConnection object; it must not be null.
`flags`	Int: Operation options for the binding. Can be: 0 `BIND_AUTO_CREATE` `BIND_DEBUG_UNBIND` `BIND_NOT_FOREGROUND` `BIND_ABOVE_CLIENT` `BIND_ALLOW_OOM_MANAGEMENT` `BIND_WAIVE_PRIORITY` `BIND_IMPORTANT` `BIND_ADJUST_WITH_ACTIVITY` `BIND_NOT_PERCEPTIBLE` `BIND_INCLUDE_CAPABILITIES`

Return
`Boolean`	`true` if the system is in the process of bringing up a service that your client has permission to bind to; `false` if the system couldn't find the service or if your client doesn't have permission to bind to it. Regardless of the return value, you should later call `unbindService` to release the connection.

Exceptions
`java.lang.SecurityException`	If the caller does not have permission to access the service or the service cannot be found. Call `unbindService` to release the connection when this exception is thrown.

bindService

Added in API level 29

open fun bindService(
    service: Intent, 
    flags: Int,

): Boolean

Same as bindService(Intent, ServiceConnection, int) with executor to control ServiceConnection callbacks.

This method only accepts a 32 bits flag, to pass in a 64 bits flag, call bindService(android.content.Intent,android.content.Context.BindServiceFlags,java.util.concurrent.Executor,android.content.ServiceConnection) instead.

Parameters
`service`	Intent: This value cannot be `null`.

`executor`	Executor: Callbacks on ServiceConnection will be called on executor. Must use same instance for the same instance of ServiceConnection. This value cannot be `null`. Callback and listener events are dispatched through this `Executor`, providing an easy way to control which thread is used. To dispatch events through the main thread of your application, you can use `Context.getMainExecutor()`. Otherwise, provide an `Executor` that dispatches to an appropriate thread.
`conn`	ServiceConnection: This value cannot be `null`.

Return
`Boolean`	The result of the binding as described in `bindService(Intent, ServiceConnection, int)`.

Parameters
`permission`	String: The name of the permission being checked. This value cannot be `null`.

Return
`Int`	`PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED` if the calling pid/uid is allowed that permission, or `PackageManager.PERMISSION_DENIED` if it is not. Value is one of the following: `android.content.pm.PackageManager#PERMISSION_GRANTED` `android.content.pm.PackageManager#PERMISSION_DENIED`

Parameters
`uri`	Uri!: The uri that is being checked.
`modeFlags`	Int: The access modes to check. Value is either `0` or a combination of the following: `android.content.Intent#FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION` `android.content.Intent#FLAG_GRANT_WRITE_URI_PERMISSION`

Return
`Int`	`PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED` if the caller is allowed to access that uri, or `PackageManager.PERMISSION_DENIED` if it is not. Value is one of the following: `android.content.pm.PackageManager#PERMISSION_GRANTED` `android.content.pm.PackageManager#PERMISSION_DENIED`

checkCallingPermission

Added in API level 1

open fun checkCallingPermission(permission: String): Int

Determine whether the calling process of an IPC you are handling has been granted a particular permission. This is basically the same as calling checkPermission(java.lang.String,int,int) with the pid and uid returned by android.os.Binder#getCallingPid and android.os.Binder#getCallingUid. One important difference is that if you are not currently processing an IPC, this function will always fail. This is done to protect against accidentally leaking permissions; you can use checkCallingOrSelfPermission to avoid this protection.

Parameters
`permission`	String: The name of the permission being checked. This value cannot be `null`.

Return
`Int`	`PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED` if the calling pid/uid is allowed that permission, or `PackageManager.PERMISSION_DENIED` if it is not. Value is one of the following: `android.content.pm.PackageManager#PERMISSION_GRANTED` `android.content.pm.PackageManager#PERMISSION_DENIED`

checkCallingUriPermission

Added in API level 1

open fun checkCallingUriPermission(
    uri: Uri!, 
    modeFlags: Int
): Int

Determine whether the calling process and uid has been granted permission to access a specific URI. This is basically the same as calling checkUriPermission(android.net.Uri,int,int,int) with the pid and uid returned by android.os.Binder#getCallingPid and android.os.Binder#getCallingUid. One important difference is that if you are not currently processing an IPC, this function will always fail.

    uri: Uri, 
    pid: Int, 
    uid: Int, 
    modeFlags: Int
): Int

Determine whether a particular process and uid has been granted permission to access a specific content URI.

Unlike checkUriPermission(android.net.Uri,int,int,int), this method checks for general access to the URI's content provider, as well as explicitly granted permissions.

Note, this check will throw an IllegalArgumentException for non-content URIs.

Parameters
`uri`	Uri: This value cannot be `null`.
`pid`	Int: (Optional) The process ID being checked against. If the pid is unknown, pass -1.
`uid`	Int: The UID being checked against. A uid of 0 is the root user, which will pass every permission check.

    pid: Int, 
    uid: Int, 
    modeFlags: Int
): Int

    pid: Int, 
    uid: Int, 
    modeFlags: Int
): IntArray

Determine whether a particular process and uid has been granted permission to access a list of URIs. This only checks for permissions that have been explicitly granted -- if the given process/uid has more general access to the URI's content provider then this check will always fail. Note: On SDK Version android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES#S, calling this method from a secondary-user's context will incorrectly return PackageManager.PERMISSION_DENIED for all {code uris}.

clearWallpaper

Added in API level 1

open fun clearWallpaper(): Unit

Deprecated: Deprecated in Java.

createAttributionContext

Added in API level 30

open fun createAttributionContext(attributionTag: String?): Context

Return a new Context object for the current Context but attribute to a different tag. In complex apps attribution tagging can be used to distinguish between separate logical parts.

Parameters
`attributionTag`	String?: This value may be `null`.

Return
`Context`	This value cannot be `null`.

createConfigurationContext

Added in API level 17

open fun createConfigurationContext(overrideConfiguration: Configuration): Context!

Return a new Context object for the current Context but whose resources are adjusted to match the given Configuration. Each call to this method returns a new instance of a Context object; Context objects are not shared, however common state (ClassLoader, other Resources for the same configuration) may be so the Context itself can be fairly lightweight.

Parameters
`overrideConfiguration`	Configuration: A `Configuration` specifying what values to modify in the base Configuration of the original Context's resources. If the base configuration changes (such as due to an orientation change), the resources of this context will also change except for those that have been explicitly overridden with a value here. This value cannot be `null`.

Return
`Context!`	A `Context` with the given configuration override.

createContext

Added in API level 31

open fun createContext(contextParams: ContextParams): Context

Creates a context with specific properties and behaviors.

Parameters
`contextParams`	ContextParams: This value cannot be `null`.

Return
`Context`	This value cannot be `null`.

createContextForSplit

Added in API level 26

open fun createContextForSplit(splitName: String!): Context!

Parameters
`splitName`	String!: The name of the split to include, as declared in the split's `AndroidManifest.xml`.

Return
`Context!`	A `Context` with the given split's code and/or resources loaded.

createDeviceContext

Added in API level 34

open fun createDeviceContext(deviceId: Int): Context

Returns a new Context object from the current context but with device association given by the deviceId. Each call to this method returns a new instance of a context object. Context objects are not shared; however, common state (such as the ClassLoader and other resources for the same configuration) can be shared, so the Context itself is lightweight.

Applications that run on virtual devices may use this method to access the default device capabilities and functionality (by passing Context.DEVICE_ID_DEFAULT. Similarly, applications running on the default device may access the functionality of virtual devices.

Note that the newly created instance will be associated with the same display as the parent Context, regardless of the device ID passed here.

Parameters
`deviceId`	Int: The ID of the device to associate with this context.

Return
`Context`	This value cannot be `null`.

Exceptions
`java.lang.IllegalArgumentException`	if the given device ID is not a valid ID of the default device or a virtual device.

createDeviceProtectedStorageContext

Added in API level 24

open fun createDeviceProtectedStorageContext(): Context!

Return a new Context object for the current Context but whose storage APIs are backed by device-protected storage.

On devices with direct boot, data stored in this location is encrypted with a key tied to the physical device, and it can be accessed immediately after the device has booted successfully, both before and after the user has authenticated with their credentials (such as a lock pattern or PIN).

Because device-protected data is available without user authentication, you should carefully limit the data you store using this Context. For example, storing sensitive authentication tokens or passwords in the device-protected area is strongly discouraged.

If the underlying device does not have the ability to store device-protected and credential-protected data using different keys, then both storage areas will become available at the same time. They remain as two distinct storage locations on disk, and only the window of availability changes.

Each call to this method returns a new instance of a Context object; Context objects are not shared, however common state (ClassLoader, other Resources for the same configuration) may be so the Context itself can be fairly lightweight.

createDisplayContext

Added in API level 17

open fun createDisplayContext(display: Display): Context!

Returns a new Context object from the current context but with resources adjusted to match the metrics of display. Each call to this method returns a new instance of a context object. Context objects are not shared; however, common state (such as the ClassLoader and other resources for the same configuration) can be shared, so the Context itself is lightweight.

Note: This Context is not expected to be updated with new configuration if the underlying display configuration changes and the cached Resources it returns could be stale. It is suggested to use android.hardware.display.DisplayManager.DisplayListener to listen for changes and re-create an instance if necessary.

This Context is not a UI context, do not use it to access UI components or obtain a WindowManager instance.

To obtain an instance of WindowManager configured to show windows on the given display, call createWindowContext(int,android.os.Bundle) on the returned display context, then call getSystemService(java.lang.String) or getSystemService(java.lang.Class) on the returned window context.

Parameters
`display`	Display: The display to which the current context's resources are adjusted. This value cannot be `null`.

Return
`Context!`	A context for the display.

createPackageContext

Added in API level 1

open fun createPackageContext(
    packageName: String!, 
    flags: Int
): Context!

Return a new Context object for the given application name. This Context is the same as what the named application gets when it is launched, containing the same resources and class loader. Each call to this method returns a new instance of a Context object; Context objects are not shared, however they share common state (Resources, ClassLoader, etc) so the Context instance itself is fairly lightweight.

Throws android.content.pm.PackageManager.NameNotFoundException if there is no application with the given package name.

Throws java.lang.SecurityException if the Context requested can not be loaded into the caller's process for security reasons (see CONTEXT_INCLUDE_CODE for more information}.

Parameters
`packageName`	String!: Name of the application's package.
`flags`	Int: Option flags. Value is either `0` or a combination of the following: `CONTEXT_INCLUDE_CODE` `CONTEXT_IGNORE_SECURITY` `CONTEXT_RESTRICTED`

Return
`Context!`	A `Context` for the application.

Exceptions
`android.content.pm.PackageManager.NameNotFoundException`	if there is no application with the given package name.
`java.lang.SecurityException`

createWindowContext

Added in API level 31

open fun createWindowContext(
    display: Display, 
    type: Int, 
    options: Bundle?
): Context

Creates a Context for a non-activity window on the given Display.

Similar to createWindowContext(int,android.os.Bundle), but the display is passed in, instead of implicitly using the original Context's Display.

Parameters
`display`	Display: This value cannot be `null`.
`type`	Int: Value is one of the following: `android.view.WindowManager.LayoutParams#TYPE_BASE_APPLICATION` `android.view.WindowManager.LayoutParams#TYPE_APPLICATION` `android.view.WindowManager.LayoutParams#TYPE_APPLICATION_STARTING` `android.view.WindowManager.LayoutParams#TYPE_DRAWN_APPLICATION` `android.view.WindowManager.LayoutParams#TYPE_APPLICATION_PANEL` `android.view.WindowManager.LayoutParams#TYPE_APPLICATION_MEDIA` `android.view.WindowManager.LayoutParams#TYPE_APPLICATION_SUB_PANEL` `android.view.WindowManager.LayoutParams#TYPE_APPLICATION_ATTACHED_DIALOG` `android.view.WindowManager.LayoutParams#TYPE_STATUS_BAR` `android.view.WindowManager.LayoutParams#TYPE_SEARCH_BAR` `android.view.WindowManager.LayoutParams#TYPE_PHONE` `android.view.WindowManager.LayoutParams#TYPE_SYSTEM_ALERT` `android.view.WindowManager.LayoutParams#TYPE_TOAST` `android.view.WindowManager.LayoutParams#TYPE_SYSTEM_OVERLAY` `android.view.WindowManager.LayoutParams#TYPE_PRIORITY_PHONE` `android.view.WindowManager.LayoutParams#TYPE_SYSTEM_DIALOG` `android.view.WindowManager.LayoutParams#TYPE_KEYGUARD_DIALOG` `android.view.WindowManager.LayoutParams#TYPE_SYSTEM_ERROR` `android.view.WindowManager.LayoutParams#TYPE_INPUT_METHOD` `android.view.WindowManager.LayoutParams#TYPE_INPUT_METHOD_DIALOG` `android.view.WindowManager.LayoutParams#TYPE_WALLPAPER` `android.view.WindowManager.LayoutParams#TYPE_PRIVATE_PRESENTATION` `android.view.WindowManager.LayoutParams#TYPE_ACCESSIBILITY_OVERLAY` `android.view.WindowManager.LayoutParams#TYPE_APPLICATION_OVERLAY`
`options`	Bundle?: This value may be `null`.

Return
`Context`	This value cannot be `null`.

Exceptions
`java.lang.IllegalArgumentException`	if the `Display` is `null`.

createWindowContext

Added in API level 30

open fun createWindowContext(
    type: Int, 
    options: Bundle?
): Context

Creates a Context for a non-activity window.

A window context is a context that can be used to add non-activity windows, such as android.view.WindowManager.LayoutParams#TYPE_APPLICATION_OVERLAY. A window context must be created from a context that has an associated Display, such as Activity or a context created with createDisplayContext(android.view.Display).

The window context is created with the appropriate Configuration for the area of the display that the windows created with it can occupy; it must be used when inflating views, such that they can be inflated with proper Resources. Below is a sample code to add an application overlay window on the primary display:

...
  final DisplayManager dm = anyContext.getSystemService(DisplayManager.class);
  final Display primaryDisplay = dm.getDisplay(DEFAULT_DISPLAY);
  final Context windowContext = anyContext.createDisplayContext(primaryDisplay)
          .createWindowContext(TYPE_APPLICATION_OVERLAY, null);
  final View overlayView = Inflater.from(windowContext).inflate(someLayoutXml, null);
 
  // WindowManager.LayoutParams initialization
  ...
  // The types used in addView and createWindowContext must match.
  mParams.type = TYPE_APPLICATION_OVERLAY;
  ...
 
  windowContext.getSystemService(WindowManager.class).addView(overlayView, mParams);

This context's configuration and resources are adjusted to an area of the display where the windows with provided type will be added. Note that all windows associated with the same context will have an affinity and can only be moved together between different displays or areas on a display. If there is a need to add different window types, or non-associated windows, separate Contexts should be used.

Creating a window context is an expensive operation. Misuse of this API may lead to a huge performance drop. The best practice is to use the same window context when possible. An approach is to create one window context with specific window type and display and use it everywhere it's needed.

After Build.VERSION_CODES.S, window context provides the capability to receive configuration changes for existing token by overriding the token of the android.view.WindowManager.LayoutParams passed in WindowManager.addView(View, LayoutParams). This is useful when an application needs to attach its window to an existing activity for window token sharing use-case.

Note that the window context in Build.VERSION_CODES.R didn't have this capability. This is a no-op for the window context in Build.VERSION_CODES.R.

Below is sample code to attach an existing token to a window context:

final DisplayManager dm = anyContext.getSystemService(DisplayManager.class);
  final Display primaryDisplay = dm.getDisplay(DEFAULT_DISPLAY);
  final Context windowContext = anyContext.createWindowContext(primaryDisplay,
          TYPE_APPLICATION, null);
 
  // Get an existing token.
  final IBinder existingToken = activity.getWindow().getAttributes().token;
 
  // The types used in addView() and createWindowContext() must match.
  final WindowManager.LayoutParams params = new WindowManager.LayoutParams(TYPE_APPLICATION);
  params.token = existingToken;
 
  // After WindowManager#addView(), the server side will extract the provided token from
  // LayoutParams#token (existingToken in the sample code), and switch to propagate
  // configuration changes from the node associated with the provided token.
  windowContext.getSystemService(WindowManager.class).addView(overlayView, mParams);

After Build.VERSION_CODES.S, window context provides the capability to listen to its Configuration changes by calling registerComponentCallbacks(android.content.ComponentCallbacks), while other kinds of Context will register the ComponentCallbacks to its. Note that window context only propagate ComponentCallbacks.onConfigurationChanged(Configuration) callback. ComponentCallbacks.onLowMemory() or other callbacks in ComponentCallbacks2 won't be invoked.

Note that using android.app.Application or android.app.Service context for UI-related queries may result in layout or continuity issues on devices with variable screen sizes (e.g. foldables) or in multi-window modes, since these non-UI contexts may not reflect the Configuration changes for the visual container.

Parameters

type

Int: Value is one of the following:

options Bundle?: This value may be null.

Return
`Context`	This value cannot be `null`.

Exceptions
`java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException`	if this `Context` does not attach to a display, such as `Application` or `Service`.

Added in API level 1

open fun deleteDatabase(name: String!): Boolean

Delete an existing private SQLiteDatabase associated with this Context's application package.

Parameters
`name`	String!: The name (unique in the application package) of the database.

Return
`Boolean`	`true` if the database was successfully deleted; else `false`.

deleteFile

Added in API level 1

open fun deleteFile(name: String!): Boolean

Delete the given private file associated with this Context's application package.

Parameters
`name`	String!: The name of the file to delete; can not contain path separators.

Return
`Boolean`	`true` if the file was successfully deleted; else `false`.

Added in API level 24

open fun deleteSharedPreferences(name: String!): Boolean

Delete an existing shared preferences file.

Parameters
`name`	String!: The name (unique in the application package) of the shared preferences file.

Return
`Boolean`	`true` if the shared preferences file was successfully deleted; else `false`.

enforceCallingOrSelfPermission

Added in API level 1

open fun enforceCallingOrSelfPermission(
    permission: String, 
    message: String?
): Unit

If neither you nor the calling process of an IPC you are handling has been granted a particular permission, throw a SecurityException. This is the same as enforceCallingPermission, except it grants your own permissions if you are not currently processing an IPC. Use with care!

Parameters
`permission`	String: The name of the permission being checked. This value cannot be `null`.
`message`	String?: This value may be `null`.

enforceCallingOrSelfUriPermission

Added in API level 1

open fun enforceCallingOrSelfUriPermission(
    uri: Uri!, 
    modeFlags: Int, 
    message: String!
): Unit

If the calling process of an IPC or you has not been granted permission to access a specific URI, throw SecurityException. This is the same as enforceCallingUriPermission, except it grants your own permissions if you are not currently processing an IPC. Use with care!

Parameters
`uri`	Uri!: The uri that is being checked.
`modeFlags`	Int: The access modes to enforce. Value is either `0` or a combination of the following: `android.content.Intent#FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION` `android.content.Intent#FLAG_GRANT_WRITE_URI_PERMISSION`
`message`	String!: A message to include in the exception if it is thrown.

enforceCallingPermission

Added in API level 1

open fun enforceCallingPermission(
    permission: String, 
    message: String?
): Unit

If the calling process of an IPC you are handling has not been granted a particular permission, throw a SecurityException. This is basically the same as calling enforcePermission(java.lang.String,int,int,java.lang.String) with the pid and uid returned by android.os.Binder#getCallingPid and android.os.Binder#getCallingUid. One important difference is that if you are not currently processing an IPC, this function will always throw the SecurityException. This is done to protect against accidentally leaking permissions; you can use enforceCallingOrSelfPermission to avoid this protection.

Parameters
`permission`	String: The name of the permission being checked. This value cannot be `null`.
`message`	String?: This value may be `null`.

enforceCallingUriPermission

Added in API level 1

open fun enforceCallingUriPermission(
    uri: Uri!, 
    modeFlags: Int, 
    message: String!
): Unit

If the calling process and uid has not been granted permission to access a specific URI, throw SecurityException. This is basically the same as calling enforceUriPermission(android.net.Uri,int,int,int,java.lang.String) with the pid and uid returned by android.os.Binder#getCallingPid and android.os.Binder#getCallingUid. One important difference is that if you are not currently processing an IPC, this function will always throw a SecurityException.

Parameters
`uri`	Uri!: The uri that is being checked.
`modeFlags`	Int: The access modes to enforce. Value is either `0` or a combination of the following: `android.content.Intent#FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION` `android.content.Intent#FLAG_GRANT_WRITE_URI_PERMISSION`
`message`	String!: A message to include in the exception if it is thrown.

enforcePermission

Added in API level 1

open fun enforcePermission(
    permission: String, 
    pid: Int, 
    uid: Int, 
    message: String?
): Unit

If the given permission is not allowed for a particular process and user ID running in the system, throw a SecurityException.

Parameters
`permission`	String: The name of the permission being checked. This value cannot be `null`.
`pid`	Int: The process ID being checked against. Must be > 0.
`uid`	Int: The UID being checked against. A uid of 0 is the root user, which will pass every permission check.
`message`	String?: This value may be `null`.

enforceUriPermission

Added in API level 1

open fun enforceUriPermission(
    uri: Uri!, 
    pid: Int, 
    uid: Int, 
    modeFlags: Int, 
    message: String!
): Unit

If a particular process and uid has not been granted permission to access a specific URI, throw SecurityException. This only checks for permissions that have been explicitly granted -- if the given process/uid has more general access to the URI's content provider then this check will always fail.

Parameters
`uri`	Uri!: The uri that is being checked.
`pid`	Int: The process ID being checked against. Must be > 0.
`uid`	Int: The UID being checked against. A uid of 0 is the root user, which will pass every permission check.
`modeFlags`	Int: The access modes to enforce. Value is either `0` or a combination of the following: `android.content.Intent#FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION` `android.content.Intent#FLAG_GRANT_WRITE_URI_PERMISSION`
`message`	String!: A message to include in the exception if it is thrown.

enforceUriPermission

Added in API level 1

open fun enforceUriPermission(
    uri: Uri?, 
    readPermission: String?, 
    writePermission: String?, 
    pid: Int, 
    uid: Int, 
    modeFlags: Int, 
    message: String?
): Unit

Enforce both a Uri and normal permission. This allows you to perform both enforcePermission and #enforceUriPermission in one call.

Parameters
`uri`	Uri?: This value may be `null`.
`readPermission`	String?: This value may be `null`.
`writePermission`	String?: This value may be `null`.
`pid`	Int: The process ID being checked against. Must be > 0.
`uid`	Int: The UID being checked against. A uid of 0 is the root user, which will pass every permission check.
`modeFlags`	Int: The access modes to enforce. Value is either `0` or a combination of the following: `android.content.Intent#FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION` `android.content.Intent#FLAG_GRANT_WRITE_URI_PERMISSION`
`message`	String?: This value may be `null`.

fileList

Added in API level 1

open fun fileList(): Array<String!>!

Returns an array of strings naming the private files associated with this Context's application package.

Return
`Array<String!>!`	Array of strings naming the private files.

getApplicationContext

Added in API level 1

open fun getApplicationContext(): Context!

Return the context of the single, global Application object of the current process. This generally should only be used if you need a Context whose lifecycle is separate from the current context, that is tied to the lifetime of the process rather than the current component.

Consider for example how this interacts with registerReceiver(android.content.BroadcastReceiver,android.content.IntentFilter):

If used from an Activity context, the receiver is being registered within that activity. This means that you are expected to unregister before the activity is done being destroyed; in fact if you do not do so, the framework will clean up your leaked registration as it removes the activity and log an error. Thus, if you use the Activity context to register a receiver that is static (global to the process, not associated with an Activity instance) then that registration will be removed on you at whatever point the activity you used is destroyed.
If used from the Context returned here, the receiver is being registered with the global state associated with your application. Thus it will never be unregistered for you. This is necessary if the receiver is associated with static data, not a particular component. However using the ApplicationContext elsewhere can easily lead to serious leaks if you forget to unregister, unbind, etc.

getApplicationInfo

Added in API level 4

open fun getApplicationInfo(): ApplicationInfo!

Return the full application info for this context's package.

getAssets

Added in API level 1

open fun getAssets(): AssetManager!

Returns an AssetManager instance for the application's package.

Note: Implementations of this method should return an AssetManager instance that is consistent with the Resources instance returned by getResources(). For example, they should share the same Configuration object.

Return
`AssetManager!`	an AssetManager instance for the application's package

getAttributionSource

Added in API level 31

open fun getAttributionSource(): AttributionSource

Return
`AttributionSource`	This value cannot be `null`.

getAttributionTag

open fun getAttributionTag(): String?

Return
`String?`	the attribution tag this context is for or `null` if this is the default.

getBaseContext

Added in API level 1

open fun getBaseContext(): Context!

Return
`Context!`	the base context as set by the constructor or setBaseContext

getCacheDir

Added in API level 1

open fun getCacheDir(): File!

Returns the absolute path to the application specific cache directory on the filesystem.

The system will automatically delete files in this directory as disk space is needed elsewhere on the device. The system will always delete older files first, as reported by File.lastModified(). If desired, you can exert more control over how files are deleted using StorageManager.setCacheBehaviorGroup(File, boolean) and StorageManager.setCacheBehaviorTombstone(File, boolean).

Apps are strongly encouraged to keep their usage of cache space below the quota returned by StorageManager.getCacheQuotaBytes(java.util.UUID). If your app goes above this quota, your cached files will be some of the first to be deleted when additional disk space is needed. Conversely, if your app stays under this quota, your cached files will be some of the last to be deleted when additional disk space is needed.

Note that your cache quota will change over time depending on how frequently the user interacts with your app, and depending on how much system-wide disk space is used.

The returned path may change over time if the calling app is moved to an adopted storage device, so only relative paths should be persisted.

Apps require no extra permissions to read or write to the returned path, since this path lives in their private storage.

Return
`File!`	The path of the directory holding application cache files.

getClassLoader

Added in API level 1

open fun getClassLoader(): ClassLoader!

Return a class loader you can use to retrieve classes in this package.

getCodeCacheDir

Added in API level 21

open fun getCodeCacheDir(): File!

Returns the absolute path to the application specific cache directory on the filesystem designed for storing cached code.

The system will delete any files stored in this location both when your specific application is upgraded, and when the entire platform is upgraded.

This location is optimal for storing compiled or optimized code generated by your application at runtime.

The returned path may change over time if the calling app is moved to an adopted storage device, so only relative paths should be persisted.

Apps require no extra permissions to read or write to the returned path, since this path lives in their private storage.

Return
`File!`	The path of the directory holding application code cache files.

getContentResolver

Added in API level 1

open fun getContentResolver(): ContentResolver!

Return a ContentResolver instance for your application's package.

getDataDir

Added in API level 24

open fun getDataDir(): File!

Returns the absolute path to the directory on the filesystem where all private files belonging to this app are stored. Apps should not use this path directly; they should instead use getFilesDir(), getCacheDir(), getDir(java.lang.String,int), or other storage APIs on this class.

The returned path may change over time if the calling app is moved to an adopted storage device, so only relative paths should be persisted.

No additional permissions are required for the calling app to read or write files under the returned path.

getDatabasePath

Added in API level 1

open fun getDatabasePath(name: String!): File!

Returns the absolute path on the filesystem where a database created with #openOrCreateDatabase is stored.

The returned path may change over time if the calling app is moved to an adopted storage device, so only relative paths should be persisted.

Parameters
`name`	String!: The name of the database for which you would like to get its path.

Return
`File!`	An absolute path to the given database.

getDeviceId

Added in API level 34

open fun getDeviceId(): Int

Gets the device ID this context is associated with. Applications can use this method to determine whether they are running on a virtual device and identify that device. The device ID of the host device is Context.DEVICE_ID_DEFAULT

If the underlying device ID is changed by the system, for example, when an Activity is moved to a different virtual device, applications can register to listen to changes by calling Context.registerDeviceIdChangeListener(Executor, IntConsumer).

This method will only return a reliable value for this instance if it was created with Context.createDeviceContext(int), or if this instance is a UI or Display Context. Contexts created with Context.createDeviceContext(int) will have an explicit device association, which will never change, even if the underlying device is closed or is removed. UI Contexts and Display Contexts are already associated with a display, so if the device association is not explicitly given, Context.getDeviceId() will return the ID of the device associated with the associated display. The system can assign an arbitrary device id value for Contexts not logically associated with a device.

Return
`Int`	the ID of the device this context is associated with.

getDir

Added in API level 1

open fun getDir(
    name: String!, 
    mode: Int
): File!

Retrieve, creating if needed, a new directory in which the application can place its own custom data files. You can use the returned File object to create and access files in this directory. Note that files created through a File object will only be accessible by your own application; you can only set the mode of the entire directory, not of individual files.

The returned path may change over time if the calling app is moved to an adopted storage device, so only relative paths should be persisted.

Apps require no extra permissions to read or write to the returned path, since this path lives in their private storage.

Parameters
`name`	String!: Name of the directory to retrieve. This is a directory that is created as part of your application data.
`mode`	Int: Operating mode. Value is either `0` or a combination of the following: `MODE_PRIVATE` `MODE_WORLD_READABLE` `MODE_WORLD_WRITEABLE` `MODE_APPEND`

Return
`File!`	A `File` object for the requested directory. The directory will have been created if it does not already exist.

getDisplay

Added in API level 30

open fun getDisplay(): Display!

Get the display this context is associated with. Applications should use this method with android.app.Activity or a context associated with a Display via createDisplayContext(android.view.Display) to get a display object associated with a Context, or android.hardware.display.DisplayManager#getDisplay to get a display object by id.

Return
`Display!`	This value may be `null`.

Exceptions
`java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException`	if the method is called on an instance that is not associated with any display.

getExternalCacheDir

Added in API level 8

open fun getExternalCacheDir(): File?

Returns absolute path to application-specific directory on the primary shared/external storage device where the application can place cache files it owns. These files are internal to the application, and not typically visible to the user as media.

This is like getCacheDir() in that these files will be deleted when the application is uninstalled, however there are some important differences:

The platform does not always monitor the space available in shared storage, and thus may not automatically delete these files. Apps should always manage the maximum space used in this location. Currently the only time files here will be deleted by the platform is when running on android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES#JELLY_BEAN_MR1 or later and Environment.isExternalStorageEmulated(File) returns true.
Shared storage may not always be available, since removable media can be ejected by the user. Media state can be checked using Environment.getExternalStorageState(File).
There is no security enforced with these files. For example, any application holding android.Manifest.permission#WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE can write to these files.

If a shared storage device is emulated (as determined by Environment.isExternalStorageEmulated(File)), its contents are backed by a private user data partition, which means there is little benefit to storing data here instead of the private directory returned by getCacheDir().

Starting in android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES#KITKAT, no permissions are required to read or write to the returned path; it's always accessible to the calling app. This only applies to paths generated for package name of the calling application. To access paths belonging to other packages, android.Manifest.permission#WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE and/or android.Manifest.permission#READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE are required.

On devices with multiple users (as described by UserManager), each user has their own isolated shared storage. Applications only have access to the shared storage for the user they're running as.

The returned path may change over time if different shared storage media is inserted, so only relative paths should be persisted.

Return
`File?`	This value may be `null`.

getExternalCacheDirs

Added in API level 19

open fun getExternalCacheDirs(): Array<File!>!

Returns absolute paths to application-specific directories on all shared/external storage devices where the application can place cache files it owns. These files are internal to the application, and not typically visible to the user as media.

This is like getCacheDir() in that these files will be deleted when the application is uninstalled, however there are some important differences:

The platform does not always monitor the space available in shared storage, and thus may not automatically delete these files. Apps should always manage the maximum space used in this location. Currently the only time files here will be deleted by the platform is when running on android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES#JELLY_BEAN_MR1 or later and Environment.isExternalStorageEmulated(File) returns true.
Shared storage may not always be available, since removable media can be ejected by the user. Media state can be checked using Environment.getExternalStorageState(File).
There is no security enforced with these files. For example, any application holding android.Manifest.permission#WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE can write to these files.

Shared storage devices returned here are considered a stable part of the device, including physical media slots under a protective cover. The returned paths do not include transient devices, such as USB flash drives connected to handheld devices.

An application may store data on any or all of the returned devices. For example, an app may choose to store large files on the device with the most available space, as measured by StatFs.

No additional permissions are required for the calling app to read or write files under the returned path. Write access outside of these paths on secondary external storage devices is not available.

The returned paths may change over time if different shared storage media is inserted, so only relative paths should be persisted.

Return
`Array<File!>!`	the absolute paths to application-specific directories. Some individual paths may be `null` if that shared storage is not currently available. The first path returned is the same as `getExternalCacheDir()`.

getExternalFilesDir

Added in API level 8

open fun getExternalFilesDir(type: String?): File?

Returns the absolute path to the directory on the primary shared/external storage device where the application can place persistent files it owns. These files are internal to the applications, and not typically visible to the user as media.

This is like getFilesDir() in that these files will be deleted when the application is uninstalled, however there are some important differences:

Shared storage may not always be available, since removable media can be ejected by the user. Media state can be checked using Environment.getExternalStorageState(File).
There is no security enforced with these files. For example, any application holding android.Manifest.permission#WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE can write to these files.

On devices with multiple users (as described by UserManager), each user has their own isolated shared storage. Applications only have access to the shared storage for the user they're running as.

The returned path may change over time if different shared storage media is inserted, so only relative paths should be persisted.

Here is an example of typical code to manipulate a file in an application's shared storage:

If you supply a non-null type to this function, the returned file will be a path to a sub-directory of the given type. Though these files are not automatically scanned by the media scanner, you can explicitly add them to the media database with MediaScannerConnection.scanFile. Note that this is not the same as Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(), which provides directories of media shared by all applications. The directories returned here are owned by the application, and their contents will be removed when the application is uninstalled. Unlike Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(), the directory returned here will be automatically created for you.

Here is an example of typical code to manipulate a picture in an application's shared storage and add it to the media database:

Parameters
`type`	String?: This value may be `null`.

Return
`File?`	This value may be `null`.

getExternalFilesDirs

Added in API level 19

open fun getExternalFilesDirs(type: String!): Array<File!>!

Returns absolute paths to application-specific directories on all shared/external storage devices where the application can place persistent files it owns. These files are internal to the application, and not typically visible to the user as media.

This is like getFilesDir() in that these files will be deleted when the application is uninstalled, however there are some important differences:

Shared storage may not always be available, since removable media can be ejected by the user. Media state can be checked using Environment.getExternalStorageState(File).
There is no security enforced with these files. For example, any application holding android.Manifest.permission#WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE can write to these files.

An application may store data on any or all of the returned devices. For example, an app may choose to store large files on the device with the most available space, as measured by StatFs.

No additional permissions are required for the calling app to read or write files under the returned path. Write access outside of these paths on secondary external storage devices is not available.

The returned path may change over time if different shared storage media is inserted, so only relative paths should be persisted.

Parameters

type String!: The type of files directory to return. May be null for the root of the files directory or one of the following constants for a subdirectory: android.os.Environment#DIRECTORY_MUSIC, android.os.Environment#DIRECTORY_PODCASTS, android.os.Environment#DIRECTORY_RINGTONES, android.os.Environment#DIRECTORY_ALARMS, android.os.Environment#DIRECTORY_NOTIFICATIONS, android.os.Environment#DIRECTORY_PICTURES, or android.os.Environment#DIRECTORY_MOVIES.

Return
`Array<File!>!`	the absolute paths to application-specific directories. Some individual paths may be `null` if that shared storage is not currently available. The first path returned is the same as `getExternalFilesDir(java.lang.String)`.

getExternalMediaDirs

Added in API level 21

open fun getExternalMediaDirs(): Array<File!>!

Returns absolute paths to application-specific directories on all shared/external storage devices where the application can place media files. These files are scanned and made available to other apps through MediaStore.

This is like getExternalFilesDirs in that these files will be deleted when the application is uninstalled, however there are some important differences:

Shared storage may not always be available, since removable media can be ejected by the user. Media state can be checked using Environment.getExternalStorageState(File).
There is no security enforced with these files. For example, any application holding android.Manifest.permission#WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE can write to these files.

An application may store data on any or all of the returned devices. For example, an app may choose to store large files on the device with the most available space, as measured by StatFs.

No additional permissions are required for the calling app to read or write files under the returned path. Write access outside of these paths on secondary external storage devices is not available.

The returned paths may change over time if different shared storage media is inserted, so only relative paths should be persisted.

Return
`Array<File!>!`	the absolute paths to application-specific directories. Some individual paths may be `null` if that shared storage is not currently available.

getFileStreamPath

Added in API level 1

open fun getFileStreamPath(name: String!): File!

Returns the absolute path on the filesystem where a file created with openFileOutput is stored.

The returned path may change over time if the calling app is moved to an adopted storage device, so only relative paths should be persisted.

Parameters
`name`	String!: The name of the file for which you would like to get its path.

Return
`File!`	An absolute path to the given file.

getFilesDir

Added in API level 1

open fun getFilesDir(): File!

Returns the absolute path to the directory on the filesystem where files created with openFileOutput are stored.

The returned path may change over time if the calling app is moved to an adopted storage device, so only relative paths should be persisted.

No additional permissions are required for the calling app to read or write files under the returned path.

Return
`File!`	The path of the directory holding application files.

getMainExecutor

Added in API level 28

open fun getMainExecutor(): Executor!

Return an Executor that will run enqueued tasks on the main thread associated with this context. This is the thread used to dispatch calls to application components (activities, services, etc).

getMainLooper

Added in API level 1

open fun getMainLooper(): Looper!

Return the Looper for the main thread of the current process. This is the thread used to dispatch calls to application components (activities, services, etc).

By definition, this method returns the same result as would be obtained by calling Looper.getMainLooper().

Return
`Looper!`	The main looper.

getNoBackupFilesDir

Added in API level 21

open fun getNoBackupFilesDir(): File!

Returns the absolute path to the directory on the filesystem similar to getFilesDir(). The difference is that files placed under this directory will be excluded from automatic backup to remote storage. See BackupAgent for a full discussion of the automatic backup mechanism in Android.

The returned path may change over time if the calling app is moved to an adopted storage device, so only relative paths should be persisted.

No additional permissions are required for the calling app to read or write files under the returned path.

Return
`File!`	The path of the directory holding application files that will not be automatically backed up to remote storage.

getObbDir

Added in API level 11

open fun getObbDir(): File!

Return the primary shared/external storage directory where this application's OBB files (if there are any) can be found. Note if the application does not have any OBB files, this directory may not exist.

This is like getFilesDir() in that these files will be deleted when the application is uninstalled, however there are some important differences:

Shared storage may not always be available, since removable media can be ejected by the user. Media state can be checked using Environment.getExternalStorageState(File).
There is no security enforced with these files. For example, any application holding android.Manifest.permission#WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE can write to these files.

Starting in android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES#KITKAT, no permissions are required to read or write to the path that this method returns. However, starting from android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES#M, to read the OBB expansion files, you must declare the android.Manifest.permission#READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission in the app manifest and ask for permission at runtime as follows:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" android:maxSdkVersion="23" />

Starting from android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES#N, android.Manifest.permission#READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission is not required, so don’t ask for this permission at runtime. To handle both cases, your app must first try to read the OBB file, and if it fails, you must request android.Manifest.permission#READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission at runtime.

The following code snippet shows how to do this:

File obb = new File(obb_filename);
  boolean open_failed = false;
 
  try {
      BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(obb));
      open_failed = false;
      ReadObbFile(br);
  } catch (IOException e) {
      open_failed = true;
  }
 
  if (open_failed) {
      // request READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission before reading OBB file
      ReadObbFileWithPermission();
  }

On devices with multiple users (as described by UserManager), multiple users may share the same OBB storage location. Applications should ensure that multiple instances running under different users don't interfere with each other.

Return
`File!`	the absolute path to application-specific directory. May return `null` if shared storage is not currently available.

getObbDirs

Added in API level 19

open fun getObbDirs(): Array<File!>!

Returns absolute paths to application-specific directories on all shared/external storage devices where the application's OBB files (if there are any) can be found. Note if the application does not have any OBB files, these directories may not exist.

This is like getFilesDir() in that these files will be deleted when the application is uninstalled, however there are some important differences:

Shared storage may not always be available, since removable media can be ejected by the user. Media state can be checked using Environment.getExternalStorageState(File).
There is no security enforced with these files. For example, any application holding android.Manifest.permission#WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE can write to these files.

An application may store data on any or all of the returned devices. For example, an app may choose to store large files on the device with the most available space, as measured by StatFs.

No additional permissions are required for the calling app to read or write files under the returned path. Write access outside of these paths on secondary external storage devices is not available.

Return
`Array<File!>!`	the absolute paths to application-specific directories. Some individual paths may be `null` if that shared storage is not currently available. The first path returned is the same as `getObbDir()`

getOpPackageName

open fun getOpPackageName(): String

Return
`String`	This value cannot be `null`.

getPackageCodePath

Added in API level 1

open fun getPackageCodePath(): String!

Return the full path to this context's primary Android package. The Android package is a ZIP file which contains application's primary code and assets.

Note: this is not generally useful for applications, since they should not be directly accessing the file system.

Return
`String!`	String Path to the code and assets.

getPackageManager

Added in API level 1

open fun getPackageManager(): PackageManager!

Return PackageManager instance to find global package information.

getPackageName

Added in API level 1

open fun getPackageName(): String!

Return the name of this application's package.

getPackageResourcePath

Added in API level 1

open fun getPackageResourcePath(): String!

Return the full path to this context's primary Android package. The Android package is a ZIP file which contains the application's primary resources.

Note: this is not generally useful for applications, since they should not be directly accessing the file system.

Return
`String!`	String Path to the resources.

getParams

Added in API level 31

open fun getParams(): ContextParams?

Return the set of parameters which this Context was created with, if it was created via createContext(android.content.ContextParams).

Return
`ContextParams?`	This value may be `null`.

getResources

Added in API level 1

open fun getResources(): Resources!

Returns a Resources instance for the application's package.

Note: Implementations of this method should return a Resources instance that is consistent with the AssetManager instance returned by getAssets(). For example, they should share the same Configuration object.

Return
`Resources!`	a Resources instance for the application's package

getSharedPreferences

Added in API level 1

open fun getSharedPreferences(
    name: String!, 
    mode: Int
): SharedPreferences!

Retrieve and hold the contents of the preferences file 'name', returning a SharedPreferences through which you can retrieve and modify its values. Only one instance of the SharedPreferences object is returned to any callers for the same name, meaning they will see each other's edits as soon as they are made.

This method is thread-safe.

If the preferences directory does not already exist, it will be created when this method is called.

If a preferences file by this name does not exist, it will be created when you retrieve an editor (SharedPreferences.edit()) and then commit changes (SharedPreferences.Editor.commit() or SharedPreferences.Editor.apply()).

Parameters
`name`	String!: Desired preferences file.
`mode`	Int: Operating mode. Value is either `0` or a combination of the following: `MODE_PRIVATE` `MODE_WORLD_READABLE` `MODE_WORLD_WRITEABLE` `MODE_MULTI_PROCESS`

Return
`SharedPreferences!`	The single `SharedPreferences` instance that can be used to retrieve and modify the preference values.

getSystemService

Added in API level 1

open fun getSystemService(name: String): Any!

Return the handle to a system-level service by name. The class of the returned object varies by the requested name. Currently available names are:

WINDOW_SERVICE ("window"): The top-level window manager in which you can place custom windows. The returned object is a android.view.WindowManager. Must only be obtained from a visual context such as Activity or a Context created with createWindowContext(int,android.os.Bundle), which are adjusted to the configuration and visual bounds of an area on screen.
LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE ("layout_inflater"): A android.view.LayoutInflater for inflating layout resources in this context. Must only be obtained from a visual context such as Activity or a Context created with createWindowContext(int,android.os.Bundle), which are adjusted to the configuration and visual bounds of an area on screen.
ACTIVITY_SERVICE ("activity"): A android.app.ActivityManager for interacting with the global activity state of the system.
WALLPAPER_SERVICE ("wallpaper"): A android.service.wallpaper.WallpaperService for accessing wallpapers in this context. Must only be obtained from a visual context such as Activity or a Context created with createWindowContext(int,android.os.Bundle), which are adjusted to the configuration and visual bounds of an area on screen.
POWER_SERVICE ("power"): A android.os.PowerManager for controlling power management.
ALARM_SERVICE ("alarm"): A android.app.AlarmManager for receiving intents at the time of your choosing.
NOTIFICATION_SERVICE ("notification"): A android.app.NotificationManager for informing the user of background events.
KEYGUARD_SERVICE ("keyguard"): A android.app.KeyguardManager for controlling keyguard.
LOCATION_SERVICE ("location"): A android.location.LocationManager for controlling location (e.g., GPS) updates.
SEARCH_SERVICE ("search"): A android.app.SearchManager for handling search.
VIBRATOR_MANAGER_SERVICE ("vibrator_manager"): A android.os.VibratorManager for accessing the device vibrators, interacting with individual ones and playing synchronized effects on multiple vibrators.

CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE ("connectivity"): A ConnectivityManager for handling management of network connections.
IPSEC_SERVICE ("ipsec"): A IpSecManager for managing IPSec on sockets and networks.
WIFI_SERVICE ("wifi"): A WifiManager for management of Wi-Fi connectivity. On releases before Android 7, it should only be obtained from an application context, and not from any other derived context to avoid memory leaks within the calling process.
WIFI_AWARE_SERVICE ("wifiaware"): A WifiAwareManager for management of Wi-Fi Aware discovery and connectivity.
WIFI_P2P_SERVICE ("wifip2p"): A WifiP2pManager for management of Wi-Fi Direct connectivity.

DISPLAY_HASH_SERVICE ("display_hash"): A android.view.displayhash.DisplayHashManager for management of display hashes.
#AUTHENTICATION_POLICY_SERVICE ("authentication_policy"): A android.security.authenticationpolicy.AuthenticationPolicyManager for managing authentication related policies on the device.

Note: System services obtained via this API may be closely associated with the Context in which they are obtained from. In general, do not share the service objects between various different contexts (Activities, Applications, Services, Providers, etc.)

Note: Instant apps, for which PackageManager.isInstantApp() returns true, don't have access to the following system services: DEVICE_POLICY_SERVICE, #FINGERPRINT_SERVICE, KEYGUARD_SERVICE, SHORTCUT_SERVICE, USB_SERVICE, WALLPAPER_SERVICE, WIFI_P2P_SERVICE, WIFI_SERVICE, WIFI_AWARE_SERVICE. For these services this method will return null. Generally, if you are running as an instant app you should always check whether the result of this method is null.

Note: When implementing this method, keep in mind that new services can be added on newer Android releases, so if you're looking for just the explicit names mentioned above, make sure to return null when you don't recognize the name — if you throw a RuntimeException exception instead, your app might break on new Android releases.

Parameters

name

String: The name of the desired service.
Value is one of the following:

null

Return
`Any!`	The service or `null` if the name does not exist.

getSystemServiceName

Added in API level 23

open fun getSystemServiceName(serviceClass: Class<*>): String?

Gets the name of the system-level service that is represented by the specified class.

Parameters
`serviceClass`	Class<*>: The class of the desired service. This value cannot be `null`.

Return
`String?`	The service name or null if the class is not a supported system service.

getTheme

getWallpaper

Added in API level 1

open fun getWallpaper(): Drawable!

Deprecated: Deprecated in Java.

getWallpaperDesiredMinimumHeight

open fun getWallpaperDesiredMinimumHeight(): Int

Deprecated: Deprecated in Java.

getWallpaperDesiredMinimumWidth

Added in API level 1

open fun getWallpaperDesiredMinimumWidth(): Int

grantUriPermission

Added in API level 1

open fun grantUriPermission(
    toPackage: String!, 
    uri: Uri!, 
    modeFlags: Int
): Unit

Grant permission to access a specific Uri to another package, regardless of whether that package has general permission to access the Uri's content provider. This can be used to grant specific, temporary permissions, typically in response to user interaction (such as the user opening an attachment that you would like someone else to display).

Normally you should use Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION or Intent.FLAG_GRANT_WRITE_URI_PERMISSION with the Intent being used to start an activity instead of this function directly. If you use this function directly, you should be sure to call #revokeUriPermission when the target should no longer be allowed to access it.

To succeed, the content provider owning the Uri must have set the grantUriPermissions attribute in its manifest or included the <grant-uri-permissions> tag.

Parameters
`toPackage`	String!: The package you would like to allow to access the Uri.
`uri`	Uri!: The Uri you would like to grant access to.
`modeFlags`	Int: The desired access modes. Value is either `0` or a combination of the following: `android.content.Intent#FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION` `android.content.Intent#FLAG_GRANT_WRITE_URI_PERMISSION` `android.content.Intent#FLAG_GRANT_PERSISTABLE_URI_PERMISSION` `android.content.Intent#FLAG_GRANT_PREFIX_URI_PERMISSION`

`mode`	Int: Operating mode. Value is either `0` or a combination of the following: `MODE_PRIVATE` `MODE_WORLD_READABLE` `MODE_WORLD_WRITEABLE` `MODE_APPEND`

Return
`FileOutputStream!`	The resulting `FileOutputStream`.

openOrCreateDatabase

Added in API level 1

open fun openOrCreateDatabase(
    name: String!, 
    mode: Int, 
    factory: SQLiteDatabase.CursorFactory!

peekWallpaper

Added in API level 1

open fun peekWallpaper(): Drawable!

Deprecated: Deprecated in Java.

registerComponentCallbacks

Added in API level 14

open fun registerComponentCallbacks(callback: ComponentCallbacks!): Unit

Add a new ComponentCallbacks to the base application of the Context, which will be called at the same times as the ComponentCallbacks methods of activities and other components are called. Note that you must be sure to use unregisterComponentCallbacks when appropriate in the future; this will not be removed for you.

After Build.VERSION_CODES.TIRAMISU, the ComponentCallbacks will be registered to the base Context, and can be only used after attachBaseContext(android.content.Context). Users can still call to getApplicationContext().registerComponentCallbacks(ComponentCallbacks) to add ComponentCallbacks to the base application.

Parameters
`callback`	ComponentCallbacks!: The interface to call. This can be either a `ComponentCallbacks` or `ComponentCallbacks2` interface.

Exceptions
`java.lang.IllegalStateException`	if this method calls before `attachBaseContext(android.content.Context)`

registerDeviceIdChangeListener

Added in API level 34

open fun registerDeviceIdChangeListener(
    executor: Executor, 
    listener: IntConsumer
): Unit

Adds a new device ID changed listener to the Context, which will be called when the device association is changed by the system.

The callback can be called when an app is moved to a different device and the Context is not explicitly associated with a specific device.

When an application receives a device id update callback, this Context is guaranteed to also have an updated display ID(if any) and Configuration.

Parameters
`executor`	Executor: This value cannot be `null`. Callback and listener events are dispatched through this `Executor`, providing an easy way to control which thread is used. To dispatch events through the main thread of your application, you can use `Context.getMainExecutor()`. Otherwise, provide an `Executor` that dispatches to an appropriate thread.
`listener`	IntConsumer: This value cannot be `null`.

registerReceiver

Added in API level 1

open fun registerReceiver(
    receiver: BroadcastReceiver?, 
    filter: IntentFilter!
): Intent?

Register a BroadcastReceiver to be run in the main activity thread. The receiver will be called with any broadcast Intent that matches filter, in the main application thread.

The system may broadcast Intents that are "sticky" -- these stay around after the broadcast has finished, to be sent to any later registrations. If your IntentFilter matches one of these sticky Intents, that Intent will be returned by this function and sent to your receiver as if it had just been broadcast.

There may be multiple sticky Intents that match filter, in which case each of these will be sent to receiver. In this case, only one of these can be returned directly by the function; which of these that is returned is arbitrarily decided by the system.

If you know the Intent you are registering for is sticky, you can supply null for your receiver. In this case, no receiver is registered -- the function simply returns the sticky Intent that matches filter. In the case of multiple matches, the same rules as described above apply.

See BroadcastReceiver for more information on Intent broadcasts.

As of android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES#UPSIDE_DOWN_CAKE, the system can place context-registered broadcasts in a queue while the app is in the cached state. When the app leaves the cached state, such as returning to the foreground, the system delivers any queued broadcasts. Multiple instances of certain broadcasts might be merged into one broadcast.

As of android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES#ICE_CREAM_SANDWICH, receivers registered with this method will correctly respect the Intent.setPackage(String) specified for an Intent being broadcast. Prior to that, it would be ignored and delivered to all matching registered receivers. Be careful if using this for security.

For apps targeting android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES#UPSIDE_DOWN_CAKE, either RECEIVER_EXPORTED or RECEIVER_NOT_EXPORTED must be specified if the receiver is not being registered for system broadcasts or a SecurityException will be thrown. See registerReceiver(android.content.BroadcastReceiver,android.content.IntentFilter,int) to register a receiver with flags.

Note: this method cannot be called from a BroadcastReceiver component; that is, from a BroadcastReceiver that is declared in an application's manifest. It is okay, however, to call this method from another BroadcastReceiver that has itself been registered at run time with #registerReceiver, since the lifetime of such a registered BroadcastReceiver is tied to the object that registered it.

Parameters
`receiver`	BroadcastReceiver?: This value may be `null`.
`filter`	IntentFilter!: Selects the Intent broadcasts to be received.

Return
`Intent?`	The first sticky intent found that matches filter, or null if there are none.

registerReceiver

Added in API level 26

open fun registerReceiver(
    receiver: BroadcastReceiver?, 
    filter: IntentFilter!, 
    flags: Int
): Intent?

Register to receive intent broadcasts, with the receiver optionally being exposed to Instant Apps. See registerReceiver(android.content.BroadcastReceiver,android.content.IntentFilter) for more information. By default Instant Apps cannot interact with receivers in other applications, this allows you to expose a receiver that Instant Apps can interact with.

See BroadcastReceiver for more information on Intent broadcasts.

Parameters
`receiver`	BroadcastReceiver?: This value may be `null`.
`filter`	IntentFilter!: Selects the Intent broadcasts to be received.
`flags`	Int: Additional options for the receiver. For apps targeting `android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES#UPSIDE_DOWN_CAKE` either `RECEIVER_EXPORTED` or `RECEIVER_NOT_EXPORTED` must be specified if the receiver isn't being registered for system broadcasts or a `SecurityException` will be thrown. If `RECEIVER_EXPORTED` is specified, a receiver may additionally specify `RECEIVER_VISIBLE_TO_INSTANT_APPS`. For a complete list of system broadcast actions, see the BROADCAST_ACTIONS.TXT file in the Android SDK. If both `RECEIVER_EXPORTED` and `RECEIVER_NOT_EXPORTED` are specified, an `IllegalArgumentException` will be thrown. Value is either `0` or a combination of the following: `RECEIVER_VISIBLE_TO_INSTANT_APPS` `RECEIVER_EXPORTED` `RECEIVER_NOT_EXPORTED`

Return
`Intent?`	The first sticky intent found that matches filter, or null if there are none.

registerReceiver

Added in API level 1

open fun registerReceiver(
    receiver: BroadcastReceiver?, 
    filter: IntentFilter!, 
    broadcastPermission: String?, 
    scheduler: Handler?
): Intent?

Register to receive intent broadcasts, to run in the context of scheduler. See registerReceiver(android.content.BroadcastReceiver,android.content.IntentFilter) for more information. This allows you to enforce permissions on who can broadcast intents to your receiver, or have the receiver run in a different thread than the main application thread.

See BroadcastReceiver for more information on Intent broadcasts.

Parameters
`receiver`	BroadcastReceiver?: This value may be `null`.
`filter`	IntentFilter!: Selects the Intent broadcasts to be received.
`broadcastPermission`	String?: This value may be `null`.
`scheduler`	Handler?: This value may be `null`.

Return
`Intent?`	The first sticky intent found that matches filter, or null if there are none.

registerReceiver

Added in API level 26

open fun registerReceiver(
    receiver: BroadcastReceiver?, 
    filter: IntentFilter!, 
    broadcastPermission: String?, 
    scheduler: Handler?, 
    flags: Int
): Intent?

Register to receive intent broadcasts, to run in the context of scheduler. See registerReceiver(android.content.BroadcastReceiver,android.content.IntentFilter,int) and registerReceiver(android.content.BroadcastReceiver,android.content.IntentFilter,java.lang.String,android.os.Handler) for more information.

See BroadcastReceiver for more information on Intent broadcasts.

Parameters
`receiver`	BroadcastReceiver?: This value may be `null`.
`filter`	IntentFilter!: Selects the Intent broadcasts to be received.
`broadcastPermission`	String?: This value may be `null`.
`scheduler`	Handler?: This value may be `null`.
`flags`	Int: Additional options for the receiver. For apps targeting `android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES#UPSIDE_DOWN_CAKE` either `RECEIVER_EXPORTED` or `RECEIVER_NOT_EXPORTED` must be specified if the receiver isn't being registered for system broadcasts or a `SecurityException` will be thrown. If `RECEIVER_EXPORTED` is specified, a receiver may additionally specify `RECEIVER_VISIBLE_TO_INSTANT_APPS`. For a complete list of system broadcast actions, see the BROADCAST_ACTIONS.TXT file in the Android SDK. If both `RECEIVER_EXPORTED` and `RECEIVER_NOT_EXPORTED` are specified, an `IllegalArgumentException` will be thrown. Value is either `0` or a combination of the following: `RECEIVER_VISIBLE_TO_INSTANT_APPS` `RECEIVER_EXPORTED` `RECEIVER_NOT_EXPORTED`

Return
`Intent?`	The first sticky intent found that matches filter, or null if there are none.

removeStickyBroadcast

Added in API level 1

open fun removeStickyBroadcast(intent: Intent!): Unit

Deprecated: Deprecated in Java.

Remove the data previously sent with #sendStickyBroadcast, so that it is as if the sticky broadcast had never happened.
Requires android.Manifest.permission#BROADCAST_STICKY

Parameters
`intent`	Intent!: The Intent that was previously broadcast.

removeStickyBroadcastAsUser

Added in API level 17

open fun removeStickyBroadcastAsUser(
    intent: Intent!, 
    user: UserHandle!
): Unit

Deprecated: Deprecated in Java.

Version of removeStickyBroadcast(android.content.Intent) that allows you to specify the user the broadcast will be sent to. This is not available to applications that are not pre-installed on the system image.

You must hold the android.Manifest.permission#BROADCAST_STICKY permission in order to use this API. If you do not hold that permission, SecurityException will be thrown.
Requires android.Manifest.permission.INTERACT_ACROSS_USERS and android.Manifest.permission#BROADCAST_STICKY

Parameters
`intent`	Intent!: The Intent that was previously broadcast.
`user`	UserHandle!: UserHandle to remove the sticky broadcast from.

revokeSelfPermissionsOnKill

Added in API level 33

open fun revokeSelfPermissionsOnKill(permissions: MutableCollection<String!>): Unit

Triggers the revocation of one or more permissions for the calling package. A package is only able to revoke runtime permissions. If a permission is not currently granted, it is ignored and will not get revoked (even if later granted by the user). Ultimately, you should never make assumptions about a permission status as users may grant or revoke them at any time.

Background permissions which have no corresponding foreground permission still granted once the revocation is effective will also be revoked.

The revocation happens asynchronously and kills all processes running in the calling UID. It will be triggered once it is safe to do so. In particular, it will not be triggered as long as the package remains in the foreground, or has any active manifest components (e.g. when another app is accessing a content provider in the package).

If you want to revoke the permissions right away, you could call System.exit() in Handler.postDelayed with a delay to allow completion of async IPC, But System.exit() could affect other apps that are accessing your app at the moment. For example, apps accessing a content provider in your app will all crash.

Note that the settings UI shows a permission group as granted as long as at least one permission in the group is granted. If you want the user to observe the revocation in the settings, you should revoke every permission in the target group. To learn the current list of permissions in a group, you may use PackageManager.getGroupOfPlatformPermission(String, Executor, Consumer) and PackageManager.getPlatformPermissionsForGroup(String, Executor, Consumer). This list of permissions may evolve over time, so it is recommended to check whether it contains any permission you wish to retain before trying to revoke an entire group.

Parameters
`permissions`	MutableCollection<String!>: This value cannot be `null`.

Exceptions
`java.lang.IllegalArgumentException`	if any of the permissions is not a runtime permission

revokeUriPermission

Added in API level 1

open fun revokeUriPermission(
    uri: Uri!, 
    modeFlags: Int
): Unit

Remove all permissions to access a particular content provider Uri that were previously added with grantUriPermission or any other mechanism. The given Uri will match all previously granted Uris that are the same or a sub-path of the given Uri. That is, revoking "content://foo/target" will revoke both "content://foo/target" and "content://foo/target/sub", but not "content://foo". It will not remove any prefix grants that exist at a higher level.

Prior to android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES#LOLLIPOP, if you did not have regular permission access to a Uri, but had received access to it through a specific Uri permission grant, you could not revoke that grant with this function and a SecurityException would be thrown. As of android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES#LOLLIPOP, this function will not throw a security exception, but will remove whatever permission grants to the Uri had been given to the app (or none).

Unlike revokeUriPermission(java.lang.String,android.net.Uri,int), this method impacts all permission grants matching the given Uri, for any package they had been granted to, through any mechanism this had happened (such as indirectly through the clipboard, activity launch, service start, etc). That means this can be potentially dangerous to use, as it can revoke grants that another app could be strongly expecting to stick around.

Parameters
`uri`	Uri!: The Uri you would like to revoke access to.
`modeFlags`	Int: The access modes to revoke. Value is either `0` or a combination of the following: `android.content.Intent#FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION` `android.content.Intent#FLAG_GRANT_WRITE_URI_PERMISSION`

revokeUriPermission

Added in API level 26

open fun revokeUriPermission(
    targetPackage: String!, 
    uri: Uri!, 
    modeFlags: Int
): Unit

Remove permissions to access a particular content provider Uri that were previously added with grantUriPermission for a specific target package. The given Uri will match all previously granted Uris that are the same or a sub-path of the given Uri. That is, revoking "content://foo/target" will revoke both "content://foo/target" and "content://foo/target/sub", but not "content://foo". It will not remove any prefix grants that exist at a higher level.

Unlike revokeUriPermission(android.net.Uri,int), this method will only revoke permissions that had been explicitly granted through grantUriPermission and only for the package specified. Any matching grants that have happened through other mechanisms (clipboard, activity launching, service starting, etc) will not be removed.

Parameters
`toPackage`	The package you had previously granted access to.
`uri`	Uri!: The Uri you would like to revoke access to.
`modeFlags`	Int: The access modes to revoke. Value is either `0` or a combination of the following: `android.content.Intent#FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION` `android.content.Intent#FLAG_GRANT_WRITE_URI_PERMISSION`

sendBroadcast

Added in API level 1

open fun sendBroadcast(intent: Intent!): Unit

Broadcast the given intent to all interested BroadcastReceivers. This call is asynchronous; it returns immediately, and you will continue executing while the receivers are run. No results are propagated from receivers and receivers can not abort the broadcast. If you want to allow receivers to propagate results or abort the broadcast, you must send an ordered broadcast using sendOrderedBroadcast(android.content.Intent,java.lang.String).

See BroadcastReceiver for more information on Intent broadcasts.

Parameters
`intent`	Intent!: The Intent to broadcast; all receivers matching this Intent will receive the broadcast.

sendOrderedBroadcast

Added in API level 1

open fun sendOrderedBroadcast(
    intent: Intent!, 
    receiverPermission: String?
): Unit

Broadcast the given intent to all interested BroadcastReceivers, delivering them one at a time to allow more preferred receivers to consume the broadcast before it is delivered to less preferred receivers. This call is asynchronous; it returns immediately, and you will continue executing while the receivers are run.

See BroadcastReceiver for more information on Intent broadcasts.

Parameters
`intent`	Intent!: The Intent to broadcast; all receivers matching this Intent will receive the broadcast.
`receiverPermission`	String?: This value may be `null`.

sendOrderedBroadcast

Added in API level 1

open fun sendOrderedBroadcast(
    intent: Intent,

    resultReceiver: BroadcastReceiver?, 
    scheduler: Handler?, 
    initialCode: Int, 
    initialData: String?, 
    initialExtras: Bundle?
): Unit

Version of sendBroadcast(android.content.Intent) that allows you to receive data back from the broadcast. This is accomplished by supplying your own BroadcastReceiver when calling, which will be treated as a final receiver at the end of the broadcast -- its BroadcastReceiver.onReceive method will be called with the result values collected from the other receivers. The broadcast will be serialized in the same way as calling sendOrderedBroadcast(android.content.Intent,java.lang.String).

Like sendBroadcast(android.content.Intent), this method is asynchronous; it will return before resultReceiver.onReceive() is called.

See BroadcastReceiver for more information on Intent broadcasts.

Parameters
`intent`	Intent: The Intent to broadcast; all receivers matching this Intent will receive the broadcast. This value cannot be `null`.
`receiverPermission`	String?: This value may be `null`.
`resultReceiver`	BroadcastReceiver?: This value may be `null`.
`scheduler`	Handler?: This value may be `null`.
`initialCode`	Int: An initial value for the result code. Often Activity.RESULT_OK.

sendStickyBroadcast

Added in API level 1

open fun sendStickyBroadcast(intent: Intent!): Unit

Deprecated: Deprecated in Java.

Perform a sendBroadcast(android.content.Intent) that is "sticky," meaning the Intent you are sending stays around after the broadcast is complete, so that others can quickly retrieve that data through the return value of registerReceiver(android.content.BroadcastReceiver,android.content.IntentFilter). In all other ways, this behaves the same as sendBroadcast(android.content.Intent).
Requires android.Manifest.permission#BROADCAST_STICKY

Parameters
`intent`	Intent!: The Intent to broadcast; all receivers matching this Intent will receive the broadcast, and the Intent will be held to be re-broadcast to future receivers.

sendStickyBroadcast

Added in API level 31

open fun sendStickyBroadcast(
    intent: Intent, 
    options: Bundle?
): Unit

Deprecated: Sticky broadcasts should not be used. They provide no security (anyone can access them), no protection (anyone can modify them), and many other problems. The recommended pattern is to use a non-sticky broadcast to report that something has changed, with another mechanism for apps to retrieve the current value whenever desired.

Parameters
`intent`	Intent: The Intent to broadcast; all receivers matching this Intent will receive the broadcast, and the Intent will be held to be re-broadcast to future receivers. This value cannot be `null`.
`options`	Bundle?: (optional) Additional sending options, generated from a `android.app.BroadcastOptions`. This value may be `null`.

): Unit

Deprecated: Deprecated in Java.

Version of sendStickyBroadcast(android.content.Intent) that allows you to specify the user the broadcast will be sent to. This is not available to applications that are not pre-installed on the system image.
Requires android.Manifest.permission.INTERACT_ACROSS_USERS and android.Manifest.permission#BROADCAST_STICKY

Parameters
`intent`	Intent!: The Intent to broadcast; all receivers matching this Intent will receive the broadcast, and the Intent will be held to be re-broadcast to future receivers.
`user`	UserHandle!: UserHandle to send the intent to.

sendStickyOrderedBroadcast

Added in API level 5

    resultReceiver: BroadcastReceiver?, 
    scheduler: Handler?, 
    initialCode: Int, 
    initialData: String?, 
    initialExtras: Bundle?
): Unit

Deprecated: Deprecated in Java.

Version of #sendStickyBroadcast that allows you to receive data back from the broadcast. This is accomplished by supplying your own BroadcastReceiver when calling, which will be treated as a final receiver at the end of the broadcast -- its BroadcastReceiver.onReceive method will be called with the result values collected from the other receivers. The broadcast will be serialized in the same way as calling sendOrderedBroadcast(android.content.Intent,java.lang.String).

Like sendBroadcast(android.content.Intent), this method is asynchronous; it will return before resultReceiver.onReceive() is called. Note that the sticky data stored is only the data you initially supply to the broadcast, not the result of any changes made by the receivers.

See BroadcastReceiver for more information on Intent broadcasts.
Requires android.Manifest.permission#BROADCAST_STICKY

Parameters
`intent`	Intent!: The Intent to broadcast; all receivers matching this Intent will receive the broadcast.
`resultReceiver`	BroadcastReceiver?: This value may be `null`.

setTheme

Added in API level 1

open fun setTheme(resid: Int): Unit

Set the base theme for this context. Note that this should be called before any views are instantiated in the Context (for example before calling android.app.Activity#setContentView or android.view.LayoutInflater#inflate).

Parameters
`resid`	Int: The style resource describing the theme.

setWallpaper

startActivities

Added in API level 11

open fun startActivities(intents: Array<Intent!>!): Unit

Same as startActivities(android.content.Intent[],android.os.Bundle) with no options specified.

Parameters
`intents`	Array<Intent!>!: An array of Intents to be started.

Exceptions
`android.content.ActivityNotFoundException`

startActivities

Added in API level 16

open fun startActivities(
    intents: Array<Intent!>!, 
    options: Bundle?
): Unit

Launch multiple new activities. This is generally the same as calling startActivity(android.content.Intent) for the first Intent in the array, that activity during its creation calling startActivity(android.content.Intent) for the second entry, etc. Note that unlike that approach, generally none of the activities except the last in the array will be created at this point, but rather will be created when the user first visits them (due to pressing back from the activity on top).

This method throws ActivityNotFoundException if there was no Activity found for any given Intent. In this case the state of the activity stack is undefined (some Intents in the list may be on it, some not), so you probably want to avoid such situations.

Parameters
`intents`	Array<Intent!>!: An array of Intents to be started.
`options`	Bundle?: This value may be `null`.

Exceptions
`android.content.ActivityNotFoundException`

startActivity

Added in API level 1

open fun startActivity(intent: Intent!): Unit

Same as startActivity(android.content.Intent,android.os.Bundle) with no options specified.

Parameters
`intent`	Intent!: The description of the activity to start.

Exceptions
`android.content.ActivityNotFoundException`	`

startActivity

Added in API level 16

open fun startActivity(
    intent: Intent!, 
    options: Bundle?
): Unit

Launch a new activity. You will not receive any information about when the activity exits.

Note that if this method is being called from outside of an android.app.Activity Context, then the Intent must include the Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK launch flag. This is because, without being started from an existing Activity, there is no existing task in which to place the new activity and thus it needs to be placed in its own separate task.

This method throws ActivityNotFoundException if there was no Activity found to run the given Intent.

Parameters
`intent`	Intent!: The description of the activity to start.
`options`	Bundle?: This value may be `null`.

Exceptions
`android.content.ActivityNotFoundException`

startForegroundService

Added in API level 26

open fun startForegroundService(service: Intent!): ComponentName?

Similar to startService(android.content.Intent), but with an implicit promise that the Service will call startForeground(int, android.app.Notification) once it begins running. The service is given an amount of time comparable to the ANR interval to do this, otherwise the system will automatically crash the process, in which case an internal exception ForegroundServiceDidNotStartInTimeException is logged on logcat on devices running SDK Version android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES#S or later. On older Android versions, an internal exception RemoteServiceException is logged instead, with a corresponding message.

Unlike the ordinary startService(android.content.Intent), this method can be used at any time, regardless of whether the app hosting the service is in a foreground state.

Note: Beginning with SDK Version android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES#S, apps targeting SDK Version android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES#S or higher are not allowed to start foreground services from the background. See Behavior changes: Apps targeting Android 12 for more details.

Parameters
`service`	Intent!: Identifies the service to be started. The Intent must be fully explicit (supplying a component name). Additional values may be included in the Intent extras to supply arguments along with this specific start call.

Return
`ComponentName?`	This value may be `null`.

Exceptions
`android.app.ForegroundServiceStartNotAllowedException`	If the caller app's targeting API is `android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES#S` or later, and the foreground service is restricted from start due to background restriction.
`java.lang.SecurityException`	If the caller does not have permission to access the service or the service can not be found.

startInstrumentation

Added in API level 1

open fun startInstrumentation(
    className: ComponentName, 
    profileFile: String?, 
    arguments: Bundle?
): Boolean

Start executing an android.app.Instrumentation class. The given Instrumentation component will be run by killing its target application (if currently running), starting the target process, instantiating the instrumentation component, and then letting it drive the application.

This function is not synchronous -- it returns as soon as the instrumentation has started and while it is running.

Instrumentation is normally only allowed to run against a package that is either unsigned or signed with a signature that the the instrumentation package is also signed with (ensuring the target trusts the instrumentation).

Parameters
`className`	ComponentName: Name of the Instrumentation component to be run. This value cannot be `null`.
`profileFile`	String?: This value may be `null`.
`arguments`	Bundle?: This value may be `null`.

Return
`Boolean`	`true` if the instrumentation was successfully started, else `false` if it could not be found.

startIntentSender

Same as startIntentSender(android.content.IntentSender,android.content.Intent,int,int,int,android.os.Bundle) with no options specified.

Parameters
`intent`	IntentSender!: The IntentSender to launch.
`fillInIntent`	Intent?: This value may be `null`.
`flagsMask`	Int: Intent flags in the original IntentSender that you would like to change. Value is either `0` or a combination of the following: `android.content.Intent#FLAG_FROM_BACKGROUND` `android.content.Intent#FLAG_DEBUG_LOG_RESOLUTION` `android.content.Intent#FLAG_EXCLUDE_STOPPED_PACKAGES` `android.content.Intent#FLAG_INCLUDE_STOPPED_PACKAGES` `android.content.Intent#FLAG_ACTIVITY_MATCH_EXTERNAL` `android.content.Intent#FLAG_ACTIVITY_NO_HISTORY` `android.content.Intent#FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP` `android.content.Intent#FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK` `android.content.Intent#FLAG_ACTIVITY_MULTIPLE_TASK` `android.content.Intent#FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP` `android.content.Intent#FLAG_ACTIVITY_FORWARD_RESULT` `android.content.Intent#FLAG_ACTIVITY_PREVIOUS_IS_TOP` `android.content.Intent#FLAG_ACTIVITY_EXCLUDE_FROM_RECENTS` `android.content.Intent#FLAG_ACTIVITY_BROUGHT_TO_FRONT` `android.content.Intent#FLAG_ACTIVITY_RESET_TASK_IF_NEEDED` `android.content.Intent#FLAG_ACTIVITY_LAUNCHED_FROM_HISTORY` `android.content.Intent#FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_WHEN_TASK_RESET` `android.content.Intent#FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_DOCUMENT` `android.content.Intent#FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_WHEN_TASK_RESET` `android.content.Intent#FLAG_ACTIVITY_NO_USER_ACTION` `android.content.Intent#FLAG_ACTIVITY_REORDER_TO_FRONT` `android.content.Intent#FLAG_ACTIVITY_NO_ANIMATION` `android.content.Intent#FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TASK` `android.content.Intent#FLAG_ACTIVITY_TASK_ON_HOME` `android.content.Intent#FLAG_ACTIVITY_RETAIN_IN_RECENTS` `android.content.Intent#FLAG_ACTIVITY_LAUNCH_ADJACENT` `android.content.Intent#FLAG_RECEIVER_REGISTERED_ONLY` `android.content.Intent#FLAG_RECEIVER_REPLACE_PENDING` `android.content.Intent#FLAG_RECEIVER_FOREGROUND` `android.content.Intent#FLAG_RECEIVER_NO_ABORT` `android.content.Intent#FLAG_RECEIVER_VISIBLE_TO_INSTANT_APPS`

    options: Bundle?
): Unit

Like startActivity(android.content.Intent,android.os.Bundle), but taking a IntentSender to start. If the IntentSender is for an activity, that activity will be started as if you had called the regular startActivity(android.content.Intent) here; otherwise, its associated action will be executed (such as sending a broadcast) as if you had called android.content.IntentSender#sendIntent on it.

startService

Added in API level 1

open fun startService(service: Intent!): ComponentName?

Request that a given application service be started. The Intent should either contain the complete class name of a specific service implementation to start, or a specific package name to target. If the Intent is less specified, it logs a warning about this. In this case any of the multiple matching services may be used. If this service is not already running, it will be instantiated and started (creating a process for it if needed); if it is running then it remains running.

Every call to this method will result in a corresponding call to the target service's android.app.Service#onStartCommand method, with the intent given here. This provides a convenient way to submit jobs to a service without having to bind and call on to its interface.

Using startService() overrides the default service lifetime that is managed by #bindService: it requires the service to remain running until stopService is called, regardless of whether any clients are connected to it. Note that calls to startService() do not nest: no matter how many times you call startService(), a single call to stopService will stop it.

The system attempts to keep running services around as much as possible. The only time they should be stopped is if the current foreground application is using so many resources that the service needs to be killed. If any errors happen in the service's process, it will automatically be restarted.

This function will throw SecurityException if you do not have permission to start the given service.

Note: Each call to startService() results in significant work done by the system to manage service lifecycle surrounding the processing of the intent, which can take multiple milliseconds of CPU time. Due to this cost, startService() should not be used for frequent intent delivery to a service, and only for scheduling significant work. Use #bindService for high frequency calls.

Beginning with SDK Version android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES#O, apps targeting SDK Version android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES#O or higher are not allowed to start background services from the background. See Background Execution Limits for more details.

Parameters
`service`	Intent!: Identifies the service to be started. The Intent must be fully explicit (supplying a component name). Additional values may be included in the Intent extras to supply arguments along with this specific start call.

Return
`ComponentName?`	This value may be `null`.

Exceptions
`android.app.BackgroundServiceStartNotAllowedException`	On Android `android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES#S` and later, if the application is in a state where the service can not be started (such as not in the foreground in a state when services are allowed), `android.app.BackgroundServiceStartNotAllowedException` is thrown. This exception extends `IllegalStateException`, so apps can use `catch (IllegalStateException)` to catch both.
`java.lang.IllegalStateException`	Before Android `android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES#S`, if the application is in a state where the service can not be started (such as not in the foreground in a state when services are allowed), `IllegalStateException` was thrown.
`java.lang.SecurityException`	If the caller does not have permission to access the service or the service can not be found.

stopService

Added in API level 1

open fun stopService(name: Intent!): Boolean

Request that a given application service be stopped. If the service is not running, nothing happens. Otherwise it is stopped. Note that calls to startService() are not counted -- this stops the service no matter how many times it was started.

If the service is running as a foreground service when it is stopped, its associated notification will be removed. To avoid this, apps can use stopForeground(STOP_FOREGROUND_DETACH) to decouple the notification from the service's lifecycle before stopping it.

Note that if a stopped service still has ServiceConnection objects bound to it with the BIND_AUTO_CREATE set, it will not be destroyed until all of these bindings are removed. See the android.app.Service documentation for more details on a service's lifecycle.

This function will throw SecurityException if you do not have permission to stop the given service.

Parameters
`service`	Description of the service to be stopped. The Intent must be either fully explicit (supplying a component name) or specify a specific package name it is targeted to.

Return
`Boolean`	If there is a service matching the given Intent that is already running, then it is stopped and `true` is returned; else `false` is returned.

Exceptions
`java.lang.IllegalStateException`	If the application is in a state where the service can not be started (such as not in the foreground in a state when services are allowed).
`java.lang.SecurityException`	If the caller does not have permission to access the service or the service can not be found.

unbindService

Added in API level 1

open fun unbindService(conn: ServiceConnection): Unit

Disconnect from an application service. You will no longer receive calls as the service is restarted, and the service is now allowed to stop at any time.

Parameters
`conn`	ServiceConnection: The connection interface previously supplied to bindService(). This parameter must not be null.

unregisterComponentCallbacks

Added in API level 14

open fun unregisterComponentCallbacks(callback: ComponentCallbacks!): Unit

Remove a ComponentCallbacks object that was previously registered with registerComponentCallbacks(android.content.ComponentCallbacks).

After Build.VERSION_CODES.TIRAMISU, the ComponentCallbacks will be unregistered to the base Context, and can be only used after attachBaseContext(android.content.Context)

Parameters
`callback`	ComponentCallbacks!: The interface to call. This can be either a `ComponentCallbacks` or `ComponentCallbacks2` interface.

Exceptions
`java.lang.IllegalStateException`	if this method calls before `attachBaseContext(android.content.Context)`

unregisterDeviceIdChangeListener

Added in API level 34

open fun unregisterDeviceIdChangeListener(listener: IntConsumer): Unit

Removes a device ID changed listener from the Context. It's a no-op if the listener is not already registered.

Parameters
`listener`	IntConsumer: This value cannot be `null`.

unregisterReceiver

Added in API level 1

open fun unregisterReceiver(receiver: BroadcastReceiver!): Unit

Unregister a previously registered BroadcastReceiver. All filters that have been registered for this BroadcastReceiver will be removed.

Parameters
`receiver`	BroadcastReceiver!: The BroadcastReceiver to unregister.

Exceptions
`java.lang.IllegalArgumentException`	if the `receiver` was not previously registered or already unregistered.

updateServiceGroup

Added in API level 29

open fun updateServiceGroup(
    conn: ServiceConnection, 
    group: Int, 
    importance: Int
): Unit

For a service previously bound with #bindService or a related method, change how the system manages that service's process in relation to other processes. This doesn't modify the original bind flags that were passed in when binding, but adjusts how the process will be managed in some cases based on those flags. Currently only works on isolated processes (will be ignored for non-isolated processes).

Note that this call does not take immediate effect, but will be applied the next time the impacted process is adjusted for some other reason. Typically you would call this before then calling a new #bindIsolatedService on the service of interest, with that binding causing the process to be shuffled accordingly.

Parameters
`conn`	ServiceConnection: The connection interface previously supplied to bindService(). This parameter must not be null.
`group`	Int: A group to put this connection's process in. Upon calling here, this will override any previous group that was set for that process. The group tells the system about processes that are logically grouped together, so should be managed as one unit of importance (such as when being considered a recently used app). All processes in the same app with the same group are considered to be related. Supplying 0 reverts to the default behavior of not grouping.
`importance`	Int: Additional importance of the processes within a group. Upon calling here, this will override any previous importance that was set for that process. The most important process is 0, and higher values are successively less important. You can view this as describing how to order the processes in an array, with the processes at the end of the array being the least important. This value has no meaning besides indicating how processes should be ordered in that array one after the other. This provides a way to fine-tune the system's process killing, guiding it to kill processes at the end of the array first.

Protected methods

attachBaseContext

Added in API level 1

protected open fun attachBaseContext(base: Context!): Unit

Set the base context for this ContextWrapper. All calls will then be delegated to the base context. Throws IllegalStateException if a base context has already been set.

Parameters
`base`	Context!: The new base context for this wrapper.
