This property holds the model for installed apps on an Android device. The model is based on a QAbstractListModel and manages a list of elements containing the app name, package name and icon that are retrieved from the Android Drawable counterpart.

Below is a snippet for using this model:

ListView {
    id: listView
    clip: true
    flickableDirection: Flickable.VerticalFlick

    model: AndroidAppsUtils.installedAppsModel
    delegate: Rectangle {
        id: delegate
        height: window.height * 0.05
        width: ListView.view.width

        Row {
            Text {
                id: appName
                text: model.appName + " " + model.packageName
            }
        }
    }
}

To use an app's icon in an Image, use the following:

Image {
    id: appIcon
    source: model.AppIconString
}

Returns the UID for the package specified by packageName or -1 if specified package cannot be found.

Button {
    id: uidButton
    onClicked: {
        const uid = AndroidAppsUtils.appUid("org.qtproject.example.name")
        console.log("User ID:", uid)
    }
}

This method was introduced in QtAndroidAutomotive 6.5.

Checks whether the Notification Listener Service, notificationListenerServiceName has notification access. Returns true if the access is granted, false otherwise.

The notificationListenerServiceName needs to be the full name of your notification listener service class that you defined in the AndroidManifest file. For more information, see Android: NotificationListenerService.

The notification access needs to be granted by the user from the notification access settings view. To open that view, you can do the following:

Component.onCompleted: {
    if (!AndroidAppsUtils.hasNotificationAccess("com.example.mynotificationlistenerservice")) {
        AndroidAppsUtils.startActivityWithAction(
                            "android.settings.ACTION_NOTIFICATION_LISTENER_SETTINGS")
    }
}

See also AndroidAppsUtils::startActivityWithAction(string action).

Shows the info settings view for the app associated with the provided packageName. Returns true if the app Activity is found and stated, false if not found.

    Button {
        id: startButton
        onClicked: AndroidAppsUtils.showAppInfo("org.qtproject.example.name")
}

Starts the activity associated to a given action. For more information, see Android: Building an Intent. Returns true if the app Activity is found and started, false otherwise.

For example, to open the Bluetooth settings view, you can use the following code:

Button {

    text: qsTr("Open Bluetooth Settings")
    onClicked: AndroidAppsUtils.startActivityWithAction("android.settings.BLUETOOTH_SETTINGS")
}

Starts the app associated with the provided packageName. Returns true if the app Activity is found and stated, false if not found.

Button {
    id: startButton
    onClicked: AndroidAppsUtils.startApp("org.qtproject.example.name")
}

Starts the app associated with the provided packageName on screen identified with screenInfo.

Returns true if the application was started, false otherwise.

Button {
    id: startButton
    onClicked: AndroidAppsUtils.startAppOnScreen("org.qtproject.example.name",
                                                 Application.screens[0])
}

This method was introduced in QtAndroidAutomotive 6.5.

See also Application.screens.

Starts the app associated with the provided packageName on screen identified with displayId.

Returns true if the application was launched, false otherwise.

Button {
    id: startButton
    onClicked: AndroidAppsUtils.startAppOnScreenById("org.qtproject.example.name", 0)
}

This method was introduced in QtAndroidAutomotive 6.5.

Requests the uninstall dialog for the app associated with the provided packageName. Returns true if the app Activity is found and stated, false if not found.

    Button {
        id: startButton
        onClicked: AndroidAppsUtils.uninstallApp("org.qtproject.example.name")
}
