How could I get all applications that were installed by user?

Question

I want to develop an app that can present all applications that were installed by user, but

I don't understand how to get them.

use getExternalStorageDirectory()?

or is there have other method?

I assume this is Android, by that function name? Please tag it. What you're asking is very much different on a Windows machine, or on a Mac box, or on a Symbian phone. — Amadan, Jul 27 '12 at 04:54

Try This:

 final Intent intent= new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MAIN, null);
 intent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_LAUNCHER);
 final List mylist= context.getPackageManager().queryIntentActivities(intent, 0);
