public boolean isAppInstalled(String appName){
        PackageManager pkgMan = getPackageManager();
        List<PackageInfo> pkgList= pkgMan.getInstalledPackages(0);
        for(int a=0;a<pkgList.size();a++){
            if(appName.equals(pkgMan.getApplicationLabel(pkgList.get(a).applicationInfo))){
                return true;
            }//if app name match needed name
        }//for loop
        return false;
    }
