How to Get the File *.Apk Location in Android Device

How to find the apk path on android?

check in data/data/com.myappnamefoler.net

How do I get the APK of an installed app without root access?

Accessing /data/app is possible without root permission; the permissions on that directory are rwxrwx--x. Execute permission on a directory means you can access it, however lack of read permission means you cannot obtain a listing of its contents -- so in order to access it you must know the name of the file that you will be accessing. Android's package manager will tell you the name of the stored apk for a given package.

To do this from the command line, use adb shell pm list packages to get the list of installed packages and find the desired package.

With the package name, we can get the actual file name and location of the APK using adb shell pm path your-package-name.

And knowing the full directory, we can finally pull the adb using adb pull full/directory/of/the.apk. The APK file gets stored to the directory from which you run your console.

Credit to @tarn for pointing out that under Lollipop, the apk path will be /data/app/your-package-name-1/base.apk

how to find my android application's storing path of apk file

finally i'd found the right answer that works in this purpose, thanks to @Kanak for her help :)

PackageManager pm = getPackageManager();
    String uri = null;
    for (ApplicationInfo app : pm.getInstalledApplications(0)) {
        if(!((app.flags & ApplicationInfo.FLAG_UPDATED_SYSTEM_APP) == 1))
            if(!((app.flags & ApplicationInfo.FLAG_SYSTEM) == 1)){
                uri=app.sourceDir;
                  if(uri.contains("com.example.test"))
                  break;
            }
    }

    Intent intent = new Intent();  
    intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND);  
    intent.setType("image/*");
    intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.fromFile(new File(uri)));
    startActivity(intent);

what about getPackageResourcePath()
and
getPackageArchiveInfo(archiveFilePath, flags)
