Android Question clickable list to launch another app [Solved]

[trepdas]

Hello good people,
I have this Erel's example to list installed app.

Get List Of Installed Apps and their icons

Hi all. This function logs a list of installed apps and can also get their icons. I have had this for a few years and it could be modernized to the new b4a features but it works so... Right now it just logs the output but there is also remarked out code to add everything to a ListView This is...

www.b4x.com

Private Sub ShowInstalledApps
   Dim pm As PackageManager  'phone library
   For Each pck As String In pm.GetInstalledPackages
     Dim name As String = pm.GetApplicationLabel(pck)
     Log(name)
   Next
End Sub

can this list be clickable to launch the apps ?
if so, how ?

?

Add the items to xCLV and implement the ItemClick event.

You need to use pm.GetApplicationIntent to get the intent that starts the app.

No Problem

Thank you

I don't think the code that Saif posted is correct. But then again who am I to argue with the powerhouse Saif (The Sword). The value returned by the item click in the listview should be the package name, then the intent code in the item click should be quite different from what you have.
This line:

lst.AddSingleLine2(pm.GetApplicationLabel(pck),pm.GetApplicationIntent(pck))

should be:

lst.AddSingleLine2(pm.GetApplicationLabel(pck),pck)

the Sub lst_ItemClick (Position As Int, Value As Object) code you have needs to change also.
It is also preferable to use an xCLV instead of Listview

it's an honor and pleasure to be considered that

Did you try to run your code though. I tried it and it crashed for me. If it works for you, I am good with that.

The correct code should be :

Now you are cooking Saif. And your item click event code is correct the way you had in post #4

Thank you very much Mahares and sfsameer.
right after I tested it and it crashed I see here that the answer is already there !
