Comment
1 / 1
To list all installed apps on your Kivy app, you can utilize platform-specific APIs or libraries that provide access to the installed applications. Here's an example of how you can achieve this on Android and iOS platforms:
Android:
- Import the
jnius
package in your Kivy app:pythonfrom jnius import autoclass
- Use the Android
PackageManager
andApplicationInfo
classes to retrieve the list of installed applications:pythonPythonActivity = autoclass('org.kivy.android.PythonActivity')
PackageManager = autoclass('android.content.pm.PackageManager')
ApplicationInfo = autoclass('android.content.pm.ApplicationInfo')
package_manager = PythonActivity.mActivity.getPackageManager()
app_list = package_manager.getInstalledApplications(PackageManager.GET_META_DATA)
installed_apps = []
for app_info in app_list:
app_name = app_info.loadLabel(package_manager).toString()
installed_apps.append(app_name)
print(installed_apps)
- Import the
iOS:
- Import the
objc_util
package in your Kivy app:pythonfrom objc_util import *
- Use the
LSApplicationWorkspace
class to retrieve the list of installed applications:pythonLSApplicationWorkspace = ObjCClass('LSApplicationWorkspace')
workspace = LSApplicationWorkspace.defaultWorkspace()
installed_apps = []
for app in workspace.allApplications():
app_name = str(app.localizedName())
installed_apps.append(app_name)
print(installed_apps)
- Import the
Note that the code snippets above are provided as a starting point and may require additional adjustments or error handling to fit your specific requirements. Additionally, ensure that the necessary dependencies (jnius
for Android or objc_util
for iOS) are installed in your Kivy environment.
Keep in mind that accessing the list of installed apps might have platform-specific limitations or security considerations. Always adhere to platform guidelines and privacy policies when accessing such information.
