I for one need it. i am trying to get a list of all applications and
derivations (such as camcorder) While I can use
Intent mainIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MAIN,
null);
mainIntent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_LAUNCHER);
Intent pickIntent = new
Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK_ACTIVITY);
pickIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_INTENT, mainIntent);
startActivityForResult(pickIntent, RESULT_APP);
That doesnt allow me to manipulate the way people can select the app,
such as multiple selection etc. It would be great if you could point
me at another way to accomplish that in code.
