Does PackageManager#GET_META_DATA flag help to reduce the size in getInstalledApplications() method?
In my application I use the following method to get the list of apps installed in the system.
What is the exact meaning of ‘your own app’ in types of apps that are visible automatically in android?
From Android 11, package visibility is used to prototect user privacy.
Android PackageManager Permissions question
Hi I am trying to write an app to get a list of installed user apps. I’ve read that in 2023 Android blocked access to this feature. I cannot figure out if there is still a way to get a list of installed user apps. I am looking to get list of user apps that I have written and installed.
