enable/disable packages programmatically

Question

How can I enable/disable a whole package programmatically from a Android System application?

In this post, a component is enabled/disabled programmatically, but not a whole package.

I want to achieve the same result that is achieved by the root command pm disable/enable package_name (from the adb shell -> su).

两种方法可以做到这一点：

1. 使用pm disable命令：

   Runtime runtime = Runtime.getRuntime();
   runtime.exec("pm disable "+packageName);
   

2. 使用PackageManager API：

   public abstract void setApplicationEnabledSetting (String packageName, 
                                                      int newState, int flags)
   

在newState参数中，您可以传递“ COMPONENT_ENABLED_STATE_DISABLED”以禁用该应用程序，并传递“ COMPONENT_ENABLED_STATE_ENABLED”以启用该应用程序。
