I am developing an Android app. In that app, there is a button to go to another activity which contains a list of installed apps on the phone. When the user selects an app, its package name is saved and the user returns to the previous activity. But, how can I get the package name?
public class LoaderCustomSupport extends SherlockFragmentActivity {
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
FragmentManager fm = getSupportFragmentManager();
// Create the list fragment and add it as our sole content.
if (fm.findFragmentById(android.R.id.content) == null) {
AppListFragment list = new AppListFragment();
fm.beginTransaction().add(android.R.id.content, list).commit();
}
}

for (ApplicationInfo packageInfo : packages) {
Log.d(TAG, "Installed package :" + packageInfo.packageName);
Log.d(TAG, "Launch Activity :" + pm.getLaunchIntentForPackage(packageInfo.packageName));
}
the list of installed apps on the phone using PackageManager as show below.
final PackageManager pm = getPackageManager();
//get a list of installed apps.
List<ApplicationInfo> packages = pm.getInstalledApplications(PackageManager.GET_META_DATA);
for (ApplicationInfo packageInfo : packages) {
Log.d(TAG, "Installed package :" + packageInfo.packageName);
Log.d(TAG, "Launch Activity :" + pm.getLaunchIntentForPackage(packageInfo.packageName));
}
// the getLaunchIntentForPackage returns an intent that you can use with startActivity()
You will get all the necessary data in the ResolveInfo to start a application. link
