Here is what I use to list all the applications installed. I am trying to
find a more efficient way.
PackageManager packageManager = getPackageManager();
List<PackageInfo> packs =
packageManager.getInstalledPackages(0);
size = packs.size();
for (int i = 0; i < size; i++)
{
PackageInfo p = packs.get(i);
appname =
p.applicationInfo.loadLabel(packageManager).toString();
pname = p.packageName;
}
