Here is a nice tutorial about getting information (Name, Package name, icon, etc) about Installed Applications on your Android Device, emulator.
This helper util/class retrieves all installed apps with the application name, package name, version-number and code as well as the icons. The method getPackages() returns an ArrayList with all the apps.
class PInfo {
private String appname = "";
private String pname = "";
private String versionName = "";
private int versionCode = 0;
private Drawable icon;
private void prettyPrint() {
Log.v(appname + "\t" + pname + "\t" + versionName + "\t" + versionCode);
}
}
class PackageInfoUtil {
public static ArrayList<PInfo> getPackages() {
ArrayList<PInfo> apps = getInstalledApps(false); /* false = no system packages */
final int max = apps.size();
for (int i=0; i<max; i++) {
apps.get(i).prettyPrint();
}
return apps;
}
public static ArrayList<PInfo> getInstalledApps(boolean getSysPackages) {
ArrayList<PInfo> res = new ArrayList<PInfo>();
List<PackageInfo> packs = getPackageManager().getInstalledPackages(0);
for(int i=0;i<packs.size();i++) {
PackageInfo p = packs.get(i);
if ((!getSysPackages) && (p.versionName == null)) {
continue ;
}
PInfo newInfo = new PInfo();
newInfo.appname = p.applicationInfo.loadLabel(getPackageManager()).toString();
newInfo.pname = p.packageName;
newInfo.versionName = p.versionName;
newInfo.versionCode = p.versionCode;
newInfo.icon = p.applicationInfo.loadIcon(getPackageManager());
res.add(newInfo);
}
return res;
}
}
After determining the Application's Package name, just delete/uninstall the application using adb.
