I am developing a buissness-application that is essentially a Home-screen, and is supposed to be used as a Default Homescreen (being a "kiosk"-application).
Is there any way of checking if my Launcher is the default Launcher? Thanks!
Ps. Similar example, but for checking GPS-settings
LocationManager alm = (LocationManager) context.getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
if (alm.isProviderEnabled(android.location.LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER)) {
Stuffs&Actions;
}
You can get list of preferred activities from PackageManager
. Use getPreferredActivities()
method.
boolean isMyLauncherDefault() {
final IntentFilter filter = new IntentFilter(Intent.ACTION_MAIN);
filter.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_HOME);
List<IntentFilter> filters = new ArrayList<IntentFilter>();
filters.add(filter);
final String myPackageName = getPackageName();
List<ComponentName> activities = new ArrayList<ComponentName>();
final PackageManager packageManager = (PackageManager) getPackageManager();
// You can use name of your package here as third argument
packageManager.getPreferredActivities(filters, activities, null);
for (ComponentName activity : activities) {
if (myPackageName.equals(activity.getPackageName())) {
return true;
}
}
return false;
}
