Android Camera : Does it have a unique package name?
I am building an app that auto sorts installed apps and allows the user to launch those apps. I just ran into a small issue with the camera app. When I scan through the installed apps with 'queryIntentActivities' for 'ResolveInfo' I get the gallery ResolveInfo twice and both objects are identical. I am wondering if I am missing something obvious or the camera is simply not launch-able from a package name.
If the camera and the gallery share the same package would I still be able to use the package manager to pull the icons and labels for each? I want to avoid using my own drawable as different OEMs make different icons.
I am aware that I can simply launch the camera with a capture image intent but I do not care for the results and I want to launch the camera as a stand alone activity plus using this intent doesn't really solve my issue.
Update:
So the ResolveInfo's I am receiving for the camera and gallery aren't exactly the same. They share the same package name but I can pull their respective icons through the ResolveInfo.loadLabel and ResolveInfo.loadIcon (rather then what I was doing with ResolveInfo.ApplicationInfo.loadLabel ... which returned identical labels and icons). However I am still unable to find any way to launch the activities for the camera and gallery separately.
Update 2.0
Problem solved. I found the unique activity string in the ResolveInfo.ActivityInfo.name. Now rather then launching the app with the package name I just launch it with the activity that was listed in that variable.
Answer
No, the package manager for camera and gallery are different.
for camera - com.android.camera. for gallery - com.android.gallery.
this is the way in which you would differentiate the gallery and camera.
