This can easily be achieved. Simply store the entries inside the loadInstalledApps() method in a TreeSet which is instantiated with a custom Comparator. This Comparator class has to override the compare method in which the name of the entries are compared to each other.

Would be helpful if they were loaded alphabetically how could that be done?

Thanks for the great tutorial really helped a lot

I am aware of the fact that the list still takes a long time to be loaded. A future update of this tutorial will show you how to display a loading indicator whilst the list is getting populated.

Thank you for this hint! I’ve corrected the code samples to use your method of determing whether or not an installed app is a system app or not.

Hi again.

I just noticed something. I’m running Cyanogenmod 7.1 and the versionName for system apps is not null, so even if includeSysApps is set to false, it lists all apps.

I did the following instead:

for(int i=0; i < packs.size(); i++) {
PackageInfo p = packs.get(i);
ApplicationInfo a = p.applicationInfo;
// skip system apps if they shall not be included
if ((!includeSysApps) && ((a.flags & ApplicationInfo.FLAG_SYSTEM) == 1)) {
continue;
}

It’s very slow to populate the list. How do I make it display a ProgressDialog? Do I do it inside the ListAdapter?

Comment on Splash screen on startup by mschwarz

Thank you for your comment. Your solution is correct if the splash screen shall simply be shown for a specified amount of time.

My solution, however, also allows the user to skip the splash screen by tapping on the screen. This is why I check every 100ms if the mActive flag is still set.

In your run method you could simply sleep for mSplashTime, that is:

public void run() {
try {
sleep(mSplashTime);
} catch(InterruptedException e) {}

Intent i = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), MainActivity.class);
startActivity(i);
finish();
}

It’s a little bit neater.
