Re: to get process id of an application running on android device

[Christopher Tate]

Are you doing this programmatically?  You want to do what the 'ps' shell program does: look in /proc to see the PIDs of all running processes.  Each directory entry that corresponds to a process (e.g. /proc/1037 for PID 1037) is owned by the UID under which the process is running.

Note that knowing the UID might not uniquely identify a single process that is hosting the application, because an application can spread its components across multiple processes, all of which run under the same UID.

Hi All,

Here process id should be of the process which linux kernel will provide for execution of application .
