Hi,
I am trying to find the *package name *of an application based on
'Application Name' by scanning through all installed applications on the
device. Using the below code, it works, but takes about 15~20 secs to find
the package name on a device loaded with applications.
public String findApplicationPackage( String sAppName ){
String sPackageName = null;
PackageManager pm = m_Context.getPackageManager();
//get a list of installed apps.
List<ApplicationInfo> packages =
pm.getInstalledApplications(PackageManager.GET_META_DATA);
ApplicationInfo ap = new ApplicationInfo();
ap.loadLabel(pm);
for (ApplicationInfo packageInfo : packages) {
String sApp = packageInfo.loadLabel( pm
).toString();
//Log.d(TAG, "Installed AppName = " + appName + " ,package :" +
packageInfo.packageName );
//Log.d(TAG, "Launch Activity :" +
pm.getLaunchIntentForPackage(packageInfo.packageName));
if( sApp.compareTo( sAppName ) == 0 ){
sPackageName = packageInfo.packageName;
break;
}
}// the getLaunchIntentForPackage
return sPackageName;
}
How do I optimize this and reduce the time?
Thanks,
DK
