Here it is described, how to get a list of all installed apps on Android by using the PackageManager.
I would like to get this complete list, filtered by all installed "Games". How can I filter all installed apps for category "Games"
You need to parse each app web page to get its genre then sperate games genres from apps genres.
you could use Jsoup Java HTML Parser and here is a sample code
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
public final static String GOOGLE_URL = "https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=";
public static final String ERROR = "error";
...
private class FetchCategoryTask extends AsyncTask<Void, Void, Void> {
private final String TAG = FetchCategoryTask.class.getSimpleName();
private PackageManager pm;
private ActivityUtil mActivityUtil;
#Override
protected Void doInBackground(Void... errors) {
String category;
pm = getPackageManager();
List<ApplicationInfo> packages = pm.getInstalledApplications(PackageManager.GET_META_DATA);
Iterator<ApplicationInfo> iterator = packages.iterator();
while (iterator.hasNext()) {
ApplicationInfo packageInfo = iterator.next();
String query_url = GOOGLE_URL + packageInfo.packageName;
Log.i(TAG, query_url);
category = getCategory(query_url);
// store category or do something else
}
return null;
}
private String getCategory(String query_url) {
boolean network = mActivityUtil.isNetworkAvailable();
if (!network) {
//manage connectivity lost
return ERROR;
} else {
try {
Document doc = Jsoup.connect(query_url).get();
Element link = doc.select("span[itemprop=genre]").first();
return link.text();
} catch (Exception e) {
return ERROR;
}
}
}
}
}
you will find something like
<a class="r2Osbf" href="/store/apps/category/GAME_RACING" title="Racing">Racing</a>
...
"applicationCategory":"GAME_RACING"
So if the category contains "Game" text then it is a game.

I have a Broadcast receiver in my app and get a url from server response from server response url I split package name and save in shared preference,now scenario is that when any app is added in device it will check that app package name from my saved package name if match then pass intent. problem is that when variable which I declared earlier was empty then how to match new package added with my saved packge.shows me null pointer exception.
here is code:-
public class CAppDownloadReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
String url, packageName, s_szDealCode;
CDealBuySharedPreference m_oSharedPreference;
/**
* Get Query String as Key-Value Pair.
*/
public static Map<String, String> getQueryMap(String query) {
Map<String, String> map = new HashMap<>();
String[] queryString = query.split("\\?");
if (queryString.length > 1) {
String[] params = queryString[1].split("&");
for (String param : params) {
String name = param.split("=")[0];
String value = param.split("=")[1];
map.put(name, value);
}
}
return map;
}
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
m_oSharedPreference = new CDealBuySharedPreference(context);
HashMap<String, String> user = m_oSharedPreference.getDealUrlDetails();
try {
if (intent.getAction().equals("android.intent.action.PACKAGE_ADDED")) {
String installAppPackgeName = intent.getData().getSchemeSpecificPart();
url = user.get(CDealBuySharedPreference.s_szDealUrl);// getting mobile from saved preferences..........
packageName = getQueryMap(url).get("id");
System.out.println("Previous package stored :" + packageName);
System.out.println("new Package added" + installAppPackgeName);
if (installAppPackgeName.equals(packageName)) {
// If install app package name is same as url package name then do some task.
// Your app is installed now.
s_szDealCode = user.get(CDealBuySharedPreference.s_szDealCode);
System.out.println("Match...");
System.out.println("Broadcast url..." + url);
System.out.println("Broadcast deal code:-" + s_szDealCode);
} else {
System.out.println("does not match ");
}
}
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
I am developing an Android chat app using Layer and Parse. I have reached a point where i have to indicate if a friend is online or not. I have read the documentations on their websites but i dont find anything related to online presence. Is there a document that i have not seen? Please share some insight on how to know if a user is online when using Layer/Parse.
You just create on column inside User table, isonline, and set that flag true and false base on app open and close.
public static final String CLASSNAME = "userclass";
public static final String USERID = "userid";
public static final String USERNAME = "username";
public static final String USERLASTNAME = "lastname";
public static final String USERONLINE = "isonline";
public static void setOnline(String userId, boolean isOnline)
{
ParseQuery<ParseObject> query = ParseQuery.getQuery(UserDao.CLASSNAME);
query.whereEqualTo(USERID, userId);
List<ParseObject> list = new ArrayList<ParseObject>();
try {
list = query.find();
} catch (ParseException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
if(list.size() == 1)
{
ParseObject object = list.get(0);
if (isOnline) object.put(USERONLINE,1);
else object.put(USERONLINE,0);
object.saveInBackground();
}
}
I am new to Android Studio and intelliJ.
I am trying to work with AmazonSNS - Push. I am unable to figure out how to add AwsCredentials.properties file to classpath of the module. I get a NPE at line 57 in the image below(at method getResourceAsStream()). I added the required keys in AwsCredentials.properties file.
Error:
In the questions that i have come across on StackOverflow regarding similar issues, some suggested that the file should be in the root folder, where, src is. I placed it in the same folder as that of src, but still getting the NPE. I also tried placing the file in com/test/ but with no use.
How do i solve this? Are there any other steps involved?
EDIT after starting a bounty - Adding java files
Here is what i did till now..
Create an Android Application called MyApplication. Imported all classes(AndroidMobilePushApp.java, ExternalReceiver.java, MessageReceivingService.java) from the demo application. Added required libs, and ran it and got the registationId as response from Amazon.
In the same application, i created a new module called snspush and imported SNSMobilePush.java file into it. Also imported the AwsCredentials.properties file to the same path as that of SNSMobilePush.java. Added the keys in AwsCredentials.properties file.
Followed the steps in documentation to uncomment necessary funtions.

NotifPreferencesHelper is just something to store the EndpointARN. You have to use this class in a background thread
In association you have to implements GcmListenerService etc.. SNS is just for subscribe, not receive.

With respect to the Properties Credentials
A. Are you sure you are exporting the file in the build? Have you made sure you can access the file using regular file I/O outside of the credentials provider? Are you sure the file is formatted correctly (see https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-android/blob/master/aws-android-sdk-core/src/main/java/com/amazonaws/auth/PropertiesCredentials.java)
accessKey=KEY
secretKey=SECRET
Also looking at the source you should be able to load this file yourself using http://developer.android.com/reference/java/util/Properties.html.
However, I highly recommend not using this credentials provider. It is extremely unsafe in a mobile applications. Anyone could decompile your app and steal your credentials. A much safer approach is to use Amazon Cognito, which there is a plethora of examples. (Bottom of https://docs.aws.amazon.com/mobile/sdkforandroid/developerguide/setup.html , any of the examples here: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/mobile/sdkforandroid/developerguide/getting-started-android.html as well as samples in the GitHub repo https://github.com/awslabs/aws-sdk-android-samples
Cognito requires a little bit of set-up but the guides are tested, and it really doesn't take much more than a few minutes to be much more secure.
Don't think you should import 'SNSMobilePush' to a module of your android application
In the same application, i created a new module called snspush and
imported SNSMobilePush.java file into it. Also imported the
AwsCredentials.properties file to the same path as that of
SNSMobilePush.java. Added the keys in AwsCredentials.properties file.
SNSMobilePush is just a Java app provided by AWS to do tasks like
upload (bulkupload package) several tokens (device tokens or registration IDs) to Amazon SNS or
send a push notification.
You need to register your mobile app with AWS (using AndroidMobilePushApp android app). You should obtain below information (refer this link)
Client ID and client secret
API key
Device token or Registration ID (per device)
Then you can use SNSMobilePush java app or even a AWS SNS console as described here to send push notification to your registered device.
I would suggest you to try out sending push notification from the console instead of java app. You can register tokens from devices that will install your app in the future as described in the one of the options (preferably the last option) as described here
In Android is it possible for a background service to access the url of the web page a user is currently looking at in their Chrome browser? From what ive read so far this is not possible without root access. Im just asking to see if anyone knows if maybe there is some other standard way of doing it?
No, it is not possible if you're not a Chrome developer.
yes you can.
you can use accessibility service
note: if you're not an accessibility app, Google Play will not allow you on the app store if you use this API. If you're writing a personal app its fine.
example:
How to get url from browser using accessibility service
The implementation:
public class UrlInterceptorService extends AccessibilityService {
private HashMap<String, Long> previousUrlDetections = new HashMap<>();
#Override
protected void onServiceConnected() {
AccessibilityServiceInfo info = getServiceInfo();
info.eventTypes = AccessibilityEvent.TYPE_WINDOW_CONTENT_CHANGED;

info.feedbackType = AccessibilityServiceInfo.FEEDBACK_VISUAL;
//throttling of accessibility event notification
info.notificationTimeout = 300;
//support ids interception
info.flags = AccessibilityServiceInfo.FLAG_REPORT_VIEW_IDS |
AccessibilityServiceInfo.FLAG_RETRIEVE_INTERACTIVE_WINDOWS;
this.setServiceInfo(info);
}
private String captureUrl(AccessibilityNodeInfo info, SupportedBrowserConfig config) {

if (nodes == null || nodes.size() <= 0) {
return null;
}

}
#Override

//this is not supported browser, so exit

return;
}

//some kind of redirect throttling
if (eventTime - lastRecordedTime > 2000) {
previousUrlDetections.put(detectionId, eventTime);
analyzeCapturedUrl(capturedUrl, browserConfig.packageName);
}
}
private void analyzeCapturedUrl(#NonNull String capturedUrl, #NonNull String browserPackage) {
