Question

Pls i need android code to convert package name to application name (Assuming i already have the package name e.g. String name = "com.skgames.trafficrider")

Do you want "trafficrider" or is "com.skgames.trafficrider" the package in which the application is in — Ishnark, Apr 13 '17 at 20:12

put package name to this function and get AppName (App Label)

 public String appName(String pack){
        String Name = null;

        try{
            PackageManager packManager = context.getPackageManager();
            ApplicationInfo app = context.getPackageManager().getApplicationInfo(pack, 0);
            Name = packManager.getApplicationLabel(app).toString();
        }
        catch(Exception e){
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

        return Name;
    }

Try to use next code:

ApplicationInfo ai;
try {
    ai = pm.getApplicationInfo("com.skgames.trafficrider", 0);
} catch (final NameNotFoundException e) {
    ai = null;
}
final String applicationName = (String) (ai != null ? pm.getApplicationLabel(ai) : "(unknown)");
