  1.Stroage the info in a file and save as external storage. Get the file in your app.

  2.Use Intent to pass data between apps.

  Thanks Jarvan...basically I am trying to retrieve information from the Company Portal app that is part of the Work-profile. Will the above links also work for this retrieval?

  Basically the information is dynamic in company portal app...so I cannot hard-code data to external file. e.g. the user id might be different for different users for the same device, hence I would need to retrieve the updated info.
