In my application I want to show a list of every available launcher (for homescreen) on that specific Android phone. Is it possible to get some kind of information from Android OS and how do I make this call?

Thanks!

Kind regards Daniel

Try the following:

  1. Obtain the list of installed applications:

    List pkgList = getPackageManager().getInstalledPackages(PackageManager.GET_ACTIVITIES);

  2. Iterate over this list and obtain launcher activity using:

    getPackageManager().getLaunchIntentForPackage(packageName);

For details read here: PackageManager. Hope this helps.
