Ok.. But I have seen applications that do not appear with their package name in the list created by intent (dont know what to call this dialog box ) That means there is a way to atleast hide package name. Package name looks bit ugly, I only want to show a meaningful string (eg. app name ) that makes sense even to a layman.
Is there a way just to show app name or a single string text ?
