Android - How to get application name? (Not package name)

Question

In my manifest I have:

Answer 1

If not mentioned in the strings.xml/hardcoded in AndroidManifest.xml for whatever reason like android:label="MyApp"

public String getAppLable(Context context) {
    PackageManager packageManager = context.getPackageManager();
    ApplicationInfo applicationInfo = null;
    try {
        applicationInfo = packageManager.getApplicationInfo(context.getApplicationInfo().packageName, 0);
    } catch (final NameNotFoundException e) {
    }
    return (String) (applicationInfo != null ? packageManager.getApplicationLabel(applicationInfo) : "Unknown");
}

Or if you know the String resource ID then you can directly get it via

getString(R.string.appNameID);

Answer 2

In Kotlin its simple:

val appLabel = context.applicationInfo.nonLocalizedLabel

Answer 3

public static String getApplicationName(Context context) {
    return context.getApplicationInfo().loadLabel(context.getPackageManager());
}

Answer 4

In Kotlin, use the following codes to get Application Name:

        // Get App Name
        var appName: String = ""
        val applicationInfo = this.getApplicationInfo()
        val stringId = applicationInfo.labelRes
        if (stringId == 0) {
            appName = applicationInfo.nonLocalizedLabel.toString()
        }
        else {
            appName = this.getString(stringId)
        }

Answer 5

Okay guys another sleek option is

Application.Context.ApplicationInfo.NonLocalizedLabel

verified for hard coded android label on application element.

<application android:label="Big App"></application>

Answer 6

Have you tried using the PackageManager#getActivityInfo() method? There will be a field that should contain the name of the application.
