This is probably obvious to the rest of you, but. . .
Let's suppose I want to install an app that doesn't have a launcher
icon. Maybe it contains content providers, or maybe it is a license
key app that just needs to be present.
What is the proper way to do that?
If I don't have an <application> tag at all, that works, but I don't
think that is the proper way, since <provider> and <receiver> are also
inside <application>.
I've tried this after first run,
//Remove this app from the Launcher
pkgMgr.setComponentEnabledSetting(
new ComponentName(PACKAGE_NAME,
PACKAGE_NAME + ".LicenseActivity"),
PackageManager.COMPONENT_ENABLED_STATE_DISABLED,
PackageManager.DONT_KILL_APP);
But the user experience is *unacceptable*. Instead of being removed,
the icon sticks around and says 'Application not installed' until they
reboot their phone, or, more likely, go for the refund.
Thanks.
