Figured out the sorting! Just needed to add the piece of code given below after the loop in loadInstalledApps(). Never knew how to use a comparator before the author suggested it: so I’m glad I listened. ^^ Anyways, here’s the code:-

Collections.sort(apps, new Comparator()
{
public int compare(App lhs, App rhs) {
return (lhs.getTitle()).compareToIgnoreCase(rhs.getTitle());
}
});
return apps;

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.

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;
}
