Advanced tools
This Cordova plugin provides functionality to retrieve information about installed applications on the device, launch applications, and potentially extract APK files. It can be utilized in Cordova-based applications to enhance app management capabilities.
To install the plugin, use the Cordova CLI:
cordova plugin add community-cordova-plugin-apps
Replace community-cordova-plugin-apps
with the URL of the repository hosting the plugin.
getAppList
Retrieve a list of installed applications on the device.
cordova.plugins.AppsPlugin.getAppList(successCallback, errorCallback);
successCallback
: Function to handle the retrieved list of applications.errorCallback
: Function to handle errors.The success callback will receive an array of objects, where each object represents information about an installed application.
getAppByPackageId
Retrieve information about a specific application using its package ID.
cordova.plugins.AppsPlugin.getAppByPackageId(packageId, successCallback, errorCallback);
packageId
: Package ID (e.g., com.example.myapp).successCallback
: Function to handle the retrieved application information.errorCallback
: Function to handle errors.The success callback will receive an object representing information about the specified application.
launchApp
Launch an application using its package ID.
cordova.plugins.AppsPlugin.launchApp(packageId, successCallback, errorCallback);
packageId
: Package ID (e.g., com.example.myapp).successCallback
: Function to handle successful app launch.errorCallback
: Function to handle errors.extractApp
Extract the APK file of an application (requires root access).
cordova.plugins.AppsPlugin.extractApp(packageId, successCallback, errorCallback);
packageId
: Package ID (e.g., com.example.myapp).successCallback
: Function to handle successful APK extraction.errorCallback
: Function to handle errors.Note: Extracting APKs may require root access and is more complex than what is provided in this example. Additional libraries or tools may be necessary.
The AppInfo
object structure returned by the plugin includes the following fields:
name
: Application name.packageName
: Package ID.version
: Application version.icon
: Base64-encoded PNG representation of the application icon.minSdkVersion
: Minimum SDK version required.targetSdkVersion
: Target SDK version.installedDate
: Date of initial installation.lastUpdatedDate
: Date of the last update.installerPackageName
: Package ID of the installer.isSystemApp
: Boolean indicating whether the application is a system app.cordova.plugins.AppsPlugin.getAppList(
function (appList) {
console.log('Installed Applications:', appList);
},
function (error) {
console.error('Error retrieving app list:', error);
}
);
