How can I find the data usage on a per-application basis on Android?

I am trying to find out the data usage on Android on a per-application basis. Something like Android Data Usage Apps and Quota / Cap Monitor Widgets: never get charged extra for data or get capped again!.

I looked at Stack Overflow question How to go about detecting data usage in the Android environment.

But it's not been of much help.

ActivityManager activityManager = (ActivityManager) this.getSystemService(ACTIVITY_SERVICE);
ActivityManager.MemoryInfo mInfo = new ActivityManager.MemoryInfo();
activityManager.getMemoryInfo( mInfo );
List<RunningAppProcessInfo> listOfRunningProcess = activityManager.getRunningAppProcesses();
Log.d(TAG, "XXSize: " + listOfRunningProcess.size());

for (RunningAppProcessInfo runningAppProcessInfo : listOfRunningProcess) {

    if (runningAppProcessInfo.uid > 1026)
    {
        Log.d(TAG, "ANS " + runningAppProcessInfo.processName +
                   " Id :" + runningAppProcessInfo.pid +
                   " UID: " + runningAppProcessInfo.uid);
    }
}

I tried the above code as suggested by Akos Cz. However all the UIDs are numbers, unlike app_79 as you have mentioned above. Is this all right?

To access an individual app stats you will need the uid of that app, which is an int value assigned by the system to each app at install time.

PackageManager packageManager = context.getPackageManager();

ApplicationInfo info = packageManager.getApplicationInfo("com.example.app", 0); 

int packageUid = info.uid;

To get all Rx and Tx bytes of Mobile for package :

NetworkStats.Bucket bucket = networkStatsManager.queryDetailsForUid(ConnectivityManager.TYPE_MOBILE, getSubscriberId(context, ConnectivityManager.TYPE_MOBILE), 0, System.currentTimeMillis(),packageUid);
            
            
    
long rxBytes = 0L;
           
long txBytes = 0L;
            
NetworkStats.Bucket bucket = new NetworkStats.Bucket();
           
while (networkStats.hasNextBucket()) {
            
     networkStats.getNextBucket(bucket);
     rxBytes += bucket.getRxBytes();
     txBytes += bucket.getTxBytes(); 
}
networkStats.close();

For more clarification about this, check: How do I programmatically show data usage of all applications?
