Is there a way (maybe a workaround) to open the Android installed applications screen programmatically? More than that I want to open the widgets page, but not sure if is possible. I’ve tried in this way:

Intent pickIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_ALL_APPS);
pickIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NO_HISTORY);
pickIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
startActivity(pickIntent);

but Intent.ACTION_ALL_APPS actually lists all available applications and using this is closing my app.

  • Thanks, but what I really want is the screen, not to list myself the applications installed. Going deeper I want actually to create a widget shortcut programatically, but because that is not possible I want to be able at least to go to the screen with installed apps.. – Paul Jan 08 '13 at 13:44
