"Android R" getPackageInfo("mypackage",0) is throwing PackageManager.NameNotFoundException

I have tried the following source code in the 'Android R' emulator, and it is throwing PackageManager.NameNotFoundException.

getPackageInfo("com.mycompany.mypackage",0);

Is anybody facing the same issue ? Any idea if this API will be deprecated, if some extra permissions are required starting from 'Android R', or if it is a simple issue in the emulator ?

Solution

  • Based on CommonsWare answer, I have added

    <queries>
   <package android:name="com.mycompany.mypackage" />
</queries>

    To the Android manifest file, and the issue has gone.
