I would like to bring the user to the list of installed applications using an intent. You can launch the application settings screen by using the following:

startActivity(new Intent(Settings.ACTION_APPLICATION_SETTINGS));

as defined in Settings class by:

@SdkConstant(SdkConstantType.ACTIVITY_INTENT_ACTION)
public static final String ACTION_APPLICATION_SETTINGS =
        "android.settings.APPLICATION_SETTINGS";

What is the constant to launch the Applications screen?

Thanks

No sorry, I'm looking for the `Activity`, not a way to get the list of all installed packages. – tyler Oct 06 '11 at 19:01
like a way to acutally open up the "My Apps" page? – Kevin Qiu Oct 06 '11 at 19:01
The same thing as pressing the "Applications" icon on the home screen, only programatically. – tyler Oct 06 '11 at 19:03
