Oh looks like this will work:
List<ResolveInfo> activityList = pm.queryIntentActivities
(sendIntent, 0);
for (int i = 0; i < activityList.size(); i++) {
ResolveInfo app = activityList.get(i);
Drawable d = app.icon;
Log.e("###", "Name: " + app.activityInfo.name);
}
I'll put together a picker dialog to handle this and post it
afterwards, if someone could spot-check it that would be great,
Thanks
