How to get the icon of other applications (Android)
android, java
Solution
Ok, I figured out how to do it. In case your curious this is what I did.
private PackageManager pk;
pk = getPackageManager();
....
pk.getApplicationIcon(process.get(i).processName)
Thanks.
Problem
What I'm doing is getting a list of all the current running processes on the phone. Which I have done by, ``` private List<RunningAppProcessInfo> process; private ActivityManager activityMan; ... activityMan = (ActivityManager)getSystemService(Context.ACTIVITY_SERVICE); process = activityMan.getRunningAppProcesses(); ``` this works fine. When I call the processName field like ``` process.get(i).processName; ``` I get a name like com.android.mail for example. what I'm trying to do is use this to get access to that application so I can display its icon to the user, but I cant find anything that lets me do this. Is there something that can help me? I'm testing this app on my hero so the api level is 3 (android 1.5). Thanks.
