Answer 1

to get list from database

add this method in your Database Handler

public ArrayList<String> getAllApps() {

    String selectQuery = "SELECT  * FROM table";
     ArrayList<String> apps = new ArrayList<String>();
    SQLiteDatabase db = this.getWritableDatabase();
    Cursor cursor = db.rawQuery(selectQuery, null);

    // looping through all rows and adding to list
    if (cursor.moveToFirst()) {
        do {
            apps.add(cursor.getString("your column name"));
        } while (cursor.moveToNext());
    }

    // return list
    return apps;
}

first Get the list from the database and add to the Arraylist
then compare your app name with them

arraylist = dbHelper.getAllApps();

in your if ( ((p.packageName).equals("db.list???"))
replace with

 if (arraylist.contains(p.packageName))
    {
       add();
    }
    else
    {
     donothing();
    }
