How to get the list of all apps on android device using terminal
there is a command line to get package name:-
adb shell pm list packages
But how to get the list of all applications on the device
Previously the command for listing installed packages used to be pm list packages
. But as of Android nougat, the command has been removed. The new command to do the same is cmd package list packages
.
Your question already contains the answer in itself: Running a terminal, you enter the shell. So simply omit that part (adb shell
) from your command, and run the pm
command directly:
pm list packages
should produce the very same output. pm
isn't part of ADB (or the adb shell
) command, but rather an executable shipping with Android: The package manager. So you can use its full potential:
pm list packages [options] options: -f: See their associated file. -d: Filter to only show disabled packages. -e: Filter to only show enabled packages. -s: Filter to only show system packages. -3: Filter to only show third party packages. -i: See the installer for the packages. -u: Also include uninstalled packages. --user : The user space to query.
Enjoy!
