Known direct subclasses

MockApplication

MockApplication This class was deprecated in API level 24. Use a mocking framework like Mockito. New tests should be written using the Android Testing Support Library.

Base class for maintaining global application state. You can provide your own implementation by creating a subclass and specifying the fully-qualified name of this subclass as the "android:name" attribute in your AndroidManifest.xml's <application> tag. The Application class, or your subclass of the Application class, is instantiated before any other class when the process for your application/package is created.

Note: There is normally no need to subclass Application. In most situations, static singletons can provide the same functionality in a more modular way. If your singleton needs a global context (for example to register broadcast receivers), include Context.getApplicationContext() as a Context argument when invoking your singleton's getInstance() method.

      onTrimMemory(int level)

Called when the operating system has determined that it is a good time for a process to trim unneeded memory from its process.

From interface


        
          android.content.ComponentCallbacks

`abstract void`	`onConfigurationChanged(Configuration newConfig)` Called by the system when the device configuration changes while your component is running.
`abstract void`	`onLowMemory()` This is called when the overall system is running low on memory, and actively running processes should trim their memory usage.

Public constructors

public Application ()

Public methods

getProcessName

Added in API level 28

public static String getProcessName ()

Returns the name of the current process. A package's default process name is the same as its package name. Non-default processes will look like "$PACKAGE_NAME:$NAME", where $NAME corresponds to an android:process attribute within AndroidManifest.xml.

Returns
`String`

onConfigurationChanged

Added in API level 1

public void onConfigurationChanged (Configuration newConfig)

Called by the system when the device configuration changes while your component is running. Note that, unlike activities, other components are never restarted when a configuration changes: they must always deal with the results of the change, such as by re-retrieving resources.

At the time that this function has been called, your Resources object will have been updated to return resource values matching the new configuration.

For more information, read Handling Runtime Changes. If you override this method you must call through to the superclass implementation.

Parameters
`newConfig`	`Configuration`: This value cannot be `null`.

onCreate

Added in API level 1

public void onCreate ()

Called when the application is starting, before any activity, service, or receiver objects (excluding content providers) have been created.

Implementations should be as quick as possible (for example using lazy initialization of state) since the time spent in this function directly impacts the performance of starting the first activity, service, or receiver in a process.

If you override this method, be sure to call super.onCreate().

Be aware that direct boot may also affect callback order on Android Build.VERSION_CODES.N and later devices. Until the user unlocks the device, only direct boot aware components are allowed to run. You should consider that all direct boot unaware components, including such ContentProvider, are disabled until user unlock happens, especially when component callback order matters.

If you override this method you must call through to the superclass implementation.

onLowMemory

Added in API level 1

public void onLowMemory ()

This is called when the overall system is running low on memory, and actively running processes should trim their memory usage. While the exact point at which this will be called is not defined, generally it will happen when all background process have been killed. That is, before reaching the point of killing processes hosting service and foreground UI that we would like to avoid killing.

You should implement this method to release any caches or other unnecessary resources you may be holding on to. The system will perform a garbage collection for you after returning from this method.

Preferably, you should implement ComponentCallbacks2#onTrimMemory from ComponentCallbacks2 to incrementally unload your resources based on various levels of memory demands. That API is available for API level 14 and higher, so you should only use this onLowMemory() method as a fallback for older versions, which can be treated the same as ComponentCallbacks2#onTrimMemory with the ComponentCallbacks2#TRIM_MEMORY_COMPLETE level.

If you override this method you must call through to the superclass implementation.

onTerminate

Added in API level 1

public void onTerminate ()

This method is for use in emulated process environments. It will never be called on a production Android device, where processes are removed by simply killing them; no user code (including this callback) is executed when doing so.
If you override this method you must call through to the superclass implementation.

onTrimMemory

Added in API level 14

public void onTrimMemory (int level)

Called when the operating system has determined that it is a good time for a process to trim unneeded memory from its process. This will happen for example when it goes in the background and there is not enough memory to keep as many background processes running as desired. You should never compare to exact values of the level, since new intermediate values may be added -- you will typically want to compare if the value is greater or equal to a level you are interested in.

To retrieve the processes current trim level at any point, you can use ActivityManager.getMyMemoryState(RunningAppProcessInfo). If you override this method you must call through to the superclass implementation.

Parameters

Parameters
`level`	`int`: The context of the trim, giving a hint of the amount of trimming the application may like to perform. Value is `ComponentCallbacks2.TRIM_MEMORY_COMPLETE`, `ComponentCallbacks2.TRIM_MEMORY_MODERATE`, `ComponentCallbacks2.TRIM_MEMORY_BACKGROUND`, `ComponentCallbacks2.TRIM_MEMORY_UI_HIDDEN`, `ComponentCallbacks2.TRIM_MEMORY_RUNNING_CRITICAL`, `ComponentCallbacks2.TRIM_MEMORY_RUNNING_LOW`, or `ComponentCallbacks2.TRIM_MEMORY_RUNNING_MODERATE`

level

int: The context of the trim, giving a hint of the amount of trimming the application may like to perform. Value is ComponentCallbacks2.TRIM_MEMORY_COMPLETE, ComponentCallbacks2.TRIM_MEMORY_MODERATE, ComponentCallbacks2.TRIM_MEMORY_BACKGROUND, ComponentCallbacks2.TRIM_MEMORY_UI_HIDDEN, ComponentCallbacks2.TRIM_MEMORY_RUNNING_CRITICAL, ComponentCallbacks2.TRIM_MEMORY_RUNNING_LOW, or ComponentCallbacks2.TRIM_MEMORY_RUNNING_MODERATE

registerActivityLifecycleCallbacks

Added in API level 14

public void registerActivityLifecycleCallbacks (Application.ActivityLifecycleCallbacks callback)

Parameters
`callback`	`Application.ActivityLifecycleCallbacks`

registerComponentCallbacks

Added in API level 14

public void registerComponentCallbacks (ComponentCallbacks callback)

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(ComponentCallbacks) when appropriate in the future; this will not be removed for you.

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

registerOnProvideAssistDataListener

Added in API level 18

public void registerOnProvideAssistDataListener (Application.OnProvideAssistDataListener callback)

Parameters
`callback`	`Application.OnProvideAssistDataListener`

unregisterActivityLifecycleCallbacks

Added in API level 14

public void unregisterActivityLifecycleCallbacks (Application.ActivityLifecycleCallbacks callback)

Parameters
`callback`	`Application.ActivityLifecycleCallbacks`

unregisterComponentCallbacks

Added in API level 14

public void unregisterComponentCallbacks (ComponentCallbacks callback)

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

Parameters
`callback`	`ComponentCallbacks`

unregisterOnProvideAssistDataListener

Added in API level 18

public void unregisterOnProvideAssistDataListener (Application.OnProvideAssistDataListener callback)

Parameters
`callback`	`Application.OnProvideAssistDataListener`
