Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of software management technology, and in particular to a method, apparatus, device and computer-readable storage medium for uninstalling an application. Background Art

[0002] The current Android system comes with some system applications (Application, APP), and these APPs cannot be deleted. The reason why the Android system sets some APPs to be non-uninstallable is to avoid missing functions. For example, when a user downloads an MP3 music file, if the user has not downloaded a music APP and uninstalls the system's built-in music APP, then this type of file will not be able to play. Therefore, the system comes with some APPs that do not support uninstallation.

[0003] However, in actual device system usage, many apps that come with the system are almost never used by users. For example, users generally do not use the music app that comes with the system, but may use music apps such as QQ Music or NetEase Cloud Music. However, the system music app does not support uninstallation, resulting in a waste of storage space.

[0004] It can be seen that how to improve the utilization rate of storage space is a problem that technical personnel in this field need to solve. Summary of the invention

[0073] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0074] The terms "including" and "having" and any variations thereof in the specification and claims of this application and the above drawings are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions. For example, a process, method, system, product or device comprising a series of steps or units is not limited to the listed steps or units, but may include steps or units that are not listed.

[0075] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0076] Next, a method for uninstalling an application provided by an embodiment of the present application is described in detail. Figure 1 A flowchart of a method for uninstalling an application provided in an embodiment of the present application, the method comprising:

[0077] S101: When executing system application compilation, create a system directory that supports user operations.

[0078] Applications are mainly applicable to terminal devices, such as mobile phones, smart watches, personal computers, etc. For the sake of convenience, the application programs on mobile phones are used as an example for introduction.

[0079] Currently, Android system applications are compiled into the system default directory, such as / system / app / or / system / priv-app. Apps in the system default directory cannot be uninstalled, and users do not have the authority to adjust the apps recorded in the system default directory.

[0080] Therefore, in an embodiment of the present application, in order to adjust the system default non-uninstallable applications, a system directory that supports user operations, such as / system / preload / , can be recreated when executing system application compilation.

[0081] S102: Storing the system default non-uninstallable applications in the system directory, and recording the application package names and application types corresponding to the applications in a database list.

[0082] Among them, applications stored in the system directory can support uninstallation function.

[0083] In the initial state, the system default non-uninstallable applications can be stored in the system directory, and the application package names and application types corresponding to the system default non-uninstallable applications can be stored in the newly created system directory. Since the system directory supports user operations, users can uninstall the applications under the system directory according to actual needs.

[0084] The applications corresponding to the application package names included in the database list can be used to implement some basic functions commonly used by users, ensuring that users have a good user experience. In actual applications, the uninstall option may not be displayed for the applications corresponding to the application package names included in the database list, so that users cannot directly uninstall the applications corresponding to the application package names in the database list, thereby ensuring the implementation of basic functions of the device.

[0085] S103: When there is a target application of the same application type as that in the database list, based on the target application, the application package name in the database list is updated so that only one application package name of the same type of application is stored in the database list.

[0086] When there is a target application of the same application type as the one in the database list, it means that there are multiple applications of the same type. Applications of the same type implement similar functions, and users generally only use one application they are accustomed to when actually using it, thus leaving other applications of the same type idle.

[0087] In order to reduce the occupation of system storage space by these idle applications, in the embodiment of the present application, when there is a target application of the same application type as in the database list, the application package name in the database list can be updated based on the target application. In a specific implementation, the application package name of the target application can replace the application package name corresponding to the same application type in the database list; or, according to user needs, the application package name included in the database list can be retained, and the target application package name can be stored in other storage spaces outside the database list.

[0088] S104: When the application to be processed does not exist in the system directory, uninstall the application to be processed.

[0089] The purpose of updating the application package name in the database list is to ensure that only one application package name of the same type of application is stored in the database list, while other application package names of the same type are stored outside the database list. Users can uninstall the application corresponding to the application package name outside the database list.

[0090] The pending application refers to the application that the user currently needs to uninstall. As long as the pending application does not exist in the system directory, the pending application can be uninstalled.

[0091] In actual applications, when an application uninstallation instruction is received, it can be determined whether there is an application of the same type as the application to be uninstalled in the database list. If there is an application of the same type as the application to be uninstalled in the database list, it is determined whether the application package name of the application to be uninstalled exists in the database list. If the application package name of the application to be uninstalled does not exist in the database list, an uninstallation option of the application to be uninstalled can be displayed, and the user can uninstall the application to be uninstalled by clicking the uninstallation option of the application to be uninstalled.

[0092] For the processing system, the user clicking the uninstall option of the application to be uninstalled is equivalent to inputting a confirmation instruction for the uninstall option, and the processing system can uninstall the application to be uninstalled.

[0093] In actual applications, for applications corresponding to application package names outside the database list, the Android system can automatically decide whether to provide an uninstall option based on whether the application can be uninstalled.

[0094] It can be seen from the above technical solution that when executing system application compilation, a system directory that supports user operations is created; the system default non-uninstallable applications are stored in the system directory, and the application package name and application type corresponding to the application are recorded in the database list; the applications stored in the system directory can support the uninstall function, so that the subsequent update of the application type and application package name contained in the database list can be supported. The uninstall function may not be displayed for the applications corresponding to each application package name in the database list. When there is a target application with the same application type as the application in the database list, in order to avoid the occupation of system storage resources by multiple applications of the same type, the application package name in the database list can be updated based on the target application, so that only one application package name of the same type of application is stored in the database list, and the application package names of the remaining applications can be stored outside the database list. When the application package name of the application to be processed does not exist in the database list, the application to be processed can be uninstalled. In this technical solution, for multiple applications of the same type, only the application package name of one application required by the user can be retained in the database list, and the remaining applications of the same type can all perform the uninstall operation, which effectively improves the utilization of storage space.

[0095] Considering that in actual applications, the applications actively downloaded by users are generally the applications that users are accustomed to using. When there is an application of the same type as the application in the database list, it will cause duplication of applications in terms of functionality. In order to uninstall the duplicated applications, the application package name of the application actively downloaded by the user can be directly replaced with the application package name of the same application type as the application in the database list. At this time, the replaced application package name will be stored in the storage space outside the database list. Since the replaced application package name is stored outside the database list, the replaced application can be uninstalled.

[0096] In a specific implementation, when a download instruction for a target application is received, it can be determined whether there is an application type identical to the target application in the database list; if there is an application type identical to the target application in the database list, the application package name of the target application replaces the application package name corresponding to the same application type in the database list.

[0097] In an embodiment of the present application, when there is an application of the same type as the target application actively downloaded by the user in the database list, the application package name of the target application actively downloaded by the user is directly replaced with the application package name corresponding to the same application type in the database list, so that the application package name of the application of the same type as the target application is removed from the database list, thereby realizing the uninstallation operation of the application of the same type as the target application, reducing the occupation of system storage space by multiple applications of the same type.

[0098] Considering that in actual applications, users may not know what types of applications exist in the system directory, and thus download a target application of the same type as the application in the database list in the application market, compared to the target application, the user may be more inclined to use the application corresponding to the application package name of the same type as the target application in the database list.

[0099] Therefore, in actual applications, when a download instruction for a target application is received, it can be determined whether there is an application type that is the same as the target application in the database list; if there is an application type that is the same as the target application in the database list, an option including the application package name of the target application and the application package name corresponding to the application type that is the same as the target application is displayed.

[0100] The user can select an application that he or she needs based on the application package name that includes the target application and the application package names of applications of the same type as the target application in the options.

[0101] Taking a mobile phone as an example, in actual applications, the icons of applications can be directly displayed on the mobile phone interface, and a confirmation option can be set next to each application icon. If the user needs to use the application, he can click the confirmation option next to the application icon. For the processing system of the mobile phone, the confirmation option clicked by the user is the confirmation instruction, and the application package name corresponding to the confirmation option is recorded in the database list, so that the uninstallation of the application is not supported.

[0102] When the system receives a confirmation instruction carrying a non-uninstallable application package name, it completes the update of the application package name in the database list based on the non-uninstallable application package name; wherein, the non-uninstallable application package name can be the application package name of the target application or the application package name of an application of the same type as the target application.

[0103] For example, when the default non-uninstallable applications on a mobile phone include music software A, and the user downloads music software B, the icons of music software A and music software B can be displayed on the mobile phone interface at the same time, and a confirmation option can be set next to each icon. Assuming that the user selects music software B, the user can click the confirmation option of the music software B icon. Correspondingly, the mobile phone processing system will replace the application package name of music software A in the database list with the application package name of music software B. At this time, the application package name of music software A will be removed to the storage space outside the database list, so that music software A can be uninstalled.

[0104] In an embodiment of the present application, when there is an application of the same type as the target application actively downloaded by the user in the database list, by displaying the application package names of the applications of the same type, the user can intuitively understand which applications of the same type are, and thus can select the required application according to his or her own usage habits. The application package names of the applications selected by the user are stored in the database list, and the application package names of the applications not selected by the user are set outside the database list, so that the applications not selected by the user can be uninstalled, thereby avoiding the unselected applications from occupying system storage space.

[0105] In the embodiment of the present application, in order to improve the efficiency of the system in identifying applications, a type identifier can be set for the application during the application listing stage. In the embodiment of the present application, the main purpose is to identify whether there is an application package name that is the same as the application type included in the database list. Therefore, during the application listing stage, a type identifier can be set only for applications that are the same as the application type included in the database list.

[0106] In a specific implementation, when the application to be listed is transmitted to the server, if the application to be listed matches the application type included in the database list, a type identifier is set for the application to be listed.

[0107] Accordingly, when receiving the download instruction of the target application, it is determined whether the target application has a type identifier; if the target application has a type identifier, it means that the application currently to be downloaded may be repeated with the application corresponding to the application package name included in the database list, and at this time, the step of determining whether there is an application type of the same as the target application in the database list can be performed. If the target application does not have a type identifier, it means that the application currently to be downloaded is not repeated with the application corresponding to the application package name included in the database list, and at this time, the download of the target application can be directly executed.

[0108] By setting a type identifier for applications of the same type as those included in the database list during the application listing phase, when subsequently downloading applications, it can be directly based on whether the application has a type identifier to quickly determine whether the currently downloaded application has duplicate functions with the application corresponding to the application type in the database list, thereby achieving the uninstallation of applications with duplicate functions and improving application processing efficiency.

[0109] In actual applications, there may be multiple applications of the same type in the system. In order to facilitate users to adjust non-uninstallable applications according to their own needs, the system can select an application that matches the file type of the file when receiving a file open instruction; when the number of matching applications is at least two and the application package name of one of the matching applications is recorded in the database list, the adjustment options of the matching application are displayed.

[0110] The displayed adjustment options may include which application currently belongs to the application under the system directory. When the user needs to adjust the application under the system directory, the user selects which application to adjust to the system directory, and then clicks the adjustment option corresponding to the application.

[0111] For the processing system, the user clicking the adjustment option corresponding to the application is equivalent to inputting an adjustment instruction. Each application has its corresponding application package name. The processing system can complete the update of the application package name in the database list based on the application package name carried in the adjustment instruction.

[0112] In addition to displaying adjustment options for an application upon receiving a file open instruction, the system may also, after completing the update of the application package name in the database list based on the target application, proactively determine whether there are multiple applications of the same application type as in the database list; if there are multiple applications of the same application type as in the database list, display the application package names of multiple applications; and complete the update of the application package name in the database list based on a non-uninstallable application selected from multiple applications.

[0113] By displaying multiple applications of the same type, it is convenient for users to select an application as a non-uninstallable application according to their own habits, thereby achieving flexible change of application package names in the database list.

[0141] Figure 2 The description of the features in the corresponding embodiments can be found in Figure 1 The relevant descriptions of the corresponding embodiments will not be repeated here one by one.

[0142] It can be seen from the above technical solution that when executing system application compilation, a system directory that supports user operations is created; the system default non-uninstallable applications are stored in the system directory, and the application package name and application type corresponding to the application are recorded in the database list; the applications stored in the system directory can support the uninstall function, so that the subsequent update of the application type and application package name contained in the database list can be supported. The uninstall function may not be displayed for the applications corresponding to each application package name in the database list. When there is a target application with the same application type as the application in the database list, in order to avoid the occupation of system storage resources by multiple applications of the same type, the application package name in the database list can be updated based on the target application, so that only one application package name of the same type of application is stored in the database list, and the application package names of the remaining applications can be stored outside the database list. When the application package name of the application to be processed does not exist in the database list, the application to be processed can be uninstalled. In this technical solution, for multiple applications of the same type, only the application package name of one application required by the user can be retained in the database list, and the remaining applications of the same type can all perform the uninstall operation, which effectively improves the utilization of storage space.
