List navigation apps

[brelto85]

Hi,

Is possible to retrieve all navigation applications (eg Waze, Google Navigator, etc. ....) installed on your smartphone using the code?

I need to list all navigation app and allows the user to choose

thanks
Alberto

You can use PackageManager from the Phone library to get all the installed applications. You will need to do the filtering yourself (they are not tagged in any special way).

I thought about it when with "Google Now" say the address, he offers me only the two navigation applications installed to launch the browser

therefore believed that there was any way (intent, type, attribute, etc. ..) to determine only navigation applications

Download the updated phone library: http://www.b4x.com/forum/additional...s/27435-phone-library-v2-01-a.html#post159054

Dim pm As PackageManager
Dim Intent1 As Intent
Intent1.Initialize(Intent1.ACTION_VIEW, "geo://")
For Each cn As String In pm.QueryIntentActivities( Intent1)
   Log(cn)
Next
