What it is AI-extracted, prompt v1, taxonomy v1, 2026-08-30, confidence not recorded
A legacy Android library that enumerated running processes by parsing the /proc filesystem without special permissions. It worked only up to Android 6.0 and is no longer maintained, as Android 7.0+ blocks the required /proc access for third-party apps.
Use cases
- list running processes on old Android devices
- get PID and memory usage of Android app processes
- process monitoring for legacy Android research
- forensic analysis of Android 6.0 and earlier devices
- academic study of Android process enumeration
- malware detection research on legacy Android
When to choose
- you target Android 6.0 (Marshmallow) or older devices
- you do historical, forensic, or academic Android research
- you need zero-permission process enumeration on legacy Android
When to avoid
- you target Android 7.0 (Nougat) or newer - the library returns nothing
- you need a supported, maintained solution for modern Android
- you want usage statistics - use UsageStatsManager instead
