ok there's one app who is a big offender here - I think anyone who
uses it will know which one I mean - its in the top paid apps - all
the skins appear in the app drawer.
And yet I can sort of understand why he's done it - because you have a
choice of either including these lines in AndroidManifest.xml or not :
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category
android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
If you do, app can be launched and is in app drawer.
If you don't, app can't be launched and is not in app drawer.
What would be most useful is the inbetween, i.e. app can be launched
and is not in app drawer. I've played around with all variations in
xml file and nothing achieves this behavior.
Publishers want skin packs to be launchable, so that when people
download them wondering what they are, they can include some info
directing you to a website or better still, straight to the main
product in the market.
But its inconsiderate to customers to fill up their app drawers with
stuff that is just skin packs / themes.
I don't think there is a solution to this, but I think its an issue
that Android need to address.
