B4X:

Sub PMsetComponentEnabledSetting (enable As Boolean)

   Dim r As Reflector
 
   Dim cn As Object = r.CreateObject2("android.content.ComponentName",  _
      Array As Object("cb56.testtwoicons", "cb56.testtwoicons.activity2"), Array As String("java.lang.String", "java.lang.String"))
 
   r.Target = r.GetContext
   r.Target = r.RunMethod("getPackageManager")
 
   'COMPONENT_ENABLED_STATE_ENABLED = 1
   'COMPONENT_ENABLED_STATE_DISABLED = 2
 
   Dim e As Int

   If enable = True Then
      e = 1
   Else
      e = 2
   End If
 
   r.Target = r.RunMethod4("setComponentEnabledSetting", Array As Object(cn, e, 0), _
      Array As String("android.content.ComponentName", "java.lang.int", "java.lang.int"))

End Sub

If all you want to do is prevent the app icon to appear in the app drawer, then you can use this

B4X:

AddReplacement(android.intent.action.MAIN, unused_action)

However the app will still appear in the applications manager list.

Hope this helps,
Walter
