there's is something specific i want to make...

i want to create an app that will list(checkbox) all the installed user apps...

and i want each app will appear with the logo on the left side of the app name... and the checkbox will be on right and the list will extend vertically...

so the User can check any app on the list...

First read about PackageManager.

This will give you a list of installed android apps.
