how to get a list of installed app names on phone and display them in a ListView

Question

I am trying to create an activity where a ListView shows all the installed apps names with a check box for each name, but I'm not quite sure how to do this since i am new to android development and do not know how to pass data like this to a ListView. Would appreciate any help possible.

Answer 1

 Intent intent= new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MAIN, null);
intent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_LAUNCHER);
List<ResolveInfo> applist= context.getPackageManager().queryIntentActivities( intent, 0);

you can get it with this code
