I asked a similar question to this earlier this week but I'm still not understanding how to get a list of all installed applications and then pick one to run.
I've tried:
Intent intent = new Intent(ACTION_MAIN);
intent.addCategory(CATEGORY_LAUNCHER);
and this only shows application that are preinstalled or can run the ACTION_MAIN Intent type.
I also know I can use PackageManager to get all the installed applications, but how do I use this to run a specific application?
Thanks
