How can I find if a particular package exists on my Android device?
How can I find whether a particular package or application, say: com.android.abc
, exists on my Android device?
Call any of the below method with the package name.
import android.content.pm.PackageManager;
// ...
public boolean isPackageExisted(String targetPackage){
List<ApplicationInfo> packages;
PackageManager pm;
pm = getPackageManager();
packages = pm.getInstalledApplications(0);
for (ApplicationInfo packageInfo : packages) {
if(packageInfo.packageName.equals(targetPackage))
return true;
}
return false;
}
import android.content.pm.PackageManager;
public boolean isPackageExisted(String targetPackage){
PackageManager pm=getPackageManager();
try {
PackageInfo info=pm.getPackageInfo(targetPackage,PackageManager.GET_META_DATA);
} catch (PackageManager.NameNotFoundException e) {
return false;
}
return true;
}
Without using a try-catch block or iterating through a bunch of packages:
public static boolean isPackageInstalled(Context context, String packageName) {
final PackageManager packageManager = context.getPackageManager();
Intent intent = packageManager.getLaunchIntentForPackage(packageName);
if (intent == null) {
return false;
}
List<ResolveInfo> list = packageManager.queryIntentActivities(intent, PackageManager.MATCH_DEFAULT_ONLY);
return list.size() > 0;
}
Kotlin
fun isPackageExist(context: Context, target: String): Boolean {
return context.packageManager.getInstalledApplications(0).find { info -> info.packageName == target } != null
}
Intent intent = new Intent("com.google.zxing.client.android.SCAN");
PackageManager packageManager = getPackageManager();
List<ResolveInfo> activities = packageManager.queryIntentActivities(intent, 0);
boolean isIntentSafe = activities.size() > 0;
We can check like this:
if(getPackageManager().hasSystemFeature("android.software.webview") == true && isPackageExisted("com.google.android.webview")) {
if (Constant.isNetworkConnected(Activity.this)) {
//Your Intent
} else {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), resources.getString(R.string.internet_error), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
} else
{
Constant.showDialog(Activity.this,"Please install the webview");
}
}
