Android: Get App-Name from Intent

I'm currently working on a multi image picker control. I'm using this Allow user to select camera or gallery for image solution for generating a list of possible intents from which the user picks one.

As seen here:

List<ResolveInfo> listGall = packageManager.queryIntentActivities(gallIntent, 0);
for (ResolveInfo res : listGall) {
    final Intent finalIntent = new Intent(gallIntent);
    finalIntent.setComponent(new ComponentName(res.activityInfo.packageName,     res.activityInfo.name));
yourIntentsList.add(finalIntent);
}

But all names I can resolve by ResolveInfo and its properties are not user friendly labels. So I'm looking for way to get the launcher name for the given activities.

Use loadLabel() on the ResolveInfo to get a "user friendly label". Here is a sample app that demonstrates this.
