How to install icon pack on custom launcher?

Question

I'm trying to install icon pack on my custom launcher, I've read this note How to install icon pack but I'm not able to understand how to use that class, here's what I done:

IconPackManager ic = new IconPackManager();
HashMap<String, IconPackManager.IconPack> map = new HashMap<String, IconPackManager.IconPack>(ic.getAvailableIconPacks(false));
Iterator it = map.entrySet().iterator();
Drawable d = null;
String packName = null;
IconPackManager.IconPack packIcon = null;
    while (it.hasNext()) {
       Map.Entry pair = (Map.Entry)it.next();
       packName = (String)pair.getKey();
       packIcon = (IconPackManager.IconPack)pair.getValue();
       d = packIcon.getDrawableIconForPackage(packName, iconDrawable);
       setIcon(d);
    }

An IconPackManager is not a standard Android class. Where is the source/library information for where this class is coming from? — Reuben Tanner, Mar 17 '17 at 21:02

Solved with this:

String packName = null;
IconPackManager.IconPack packIcon = null;

IconPackManager ic = new IconPackManager();
HashMap<String, IconPackManager.IconPack> map = ic.getAvailableIconPacks(true);
Iterator it = map.entrySet().iterator();


        while (it.hasNext()) {
            Map.Entry pair = (Map.Entry)it.next();
            packName = (String)pair.getKey(); //Get icon pack name (app package)

            packIcon = (IconPackManager.IconPack)pair.getValue(); //Get icons

            if(packIcon.getDrawableIconForPackage("YourTargetPackageName", yourStandardIcon) != null) {

            //Your own method for set icon   
            setIcon(packIcon.getDrawableIconForPackage("YourTargetPackageName", yourStandardIcon));

            }else{
                //Your own method for set icon   
                setIcon(yourStandardIcon);
            }
        }

This works only if any of below packages are installed ,

1) Is it installed ?

org.adw.launcher.THEMES
com.gau.go.launcherex.theme

getAvailableIconPacks should return HashMap size >0

2) is below returning valid drawable or null?

 d = packIcon.getDrawableIconForPackage(packName, iconDrawable);

Usage is wrong in your case.

Your are iterating throw icon providers package names.SO in below case your are asking for

d = packIcon.getDrawableIconForPackage(packName, iconDrawable);
//means 
//d = packIcon.getDrawableIconForPackage("org.adw.launcher.THEMES",conDrawable)

so without above themes installation from google play it returns the default drawables only.

method had check if (!mLoaded) load(); before get drawable...so it doesn't work – Michele Lacorte Mar 15 '17 at 12:50
I want to install icon pack (downloaded from google play) on my custom launcher, no ADW or GO, it's my launcher! getDrawableIconForPackage return icon of "Pack Icon App" – Michele Lacorte Mar 15 '17 at 13:15
but the IconPackManager willnot work without org.adw.launcher.THEMES com.gau.go.launcherex.theme – Rajesh Gopu Mar 15 '17 at 13:26
maybe we're not understanding...what they need those packages?? If I download an Icon Pack from Google Play, can I install it on Launcher3 (stock launcher) through code? – Michele Lacorte Mar 15 '17 at 15:05
packName variable of HashMap return website.leifs.delta (I have installed random icon pack) so code works.. – Michele Lacorte Mar 15 '17 at 15:13
