[android-developers] Find action, category, mimeType, extras info of All installed Applications

I want to get the list of all installed application and all their
information (appName, package name,class name, action,
categoty,mimetype and extras corresponding to the launch Activity of
all installed applications)

I am building a widget platform(not using Android native widget
platform) which can launch installed applications. When the widget
starts, I want to parse through the list of all insatlled
applications, and get all their infomation.

Sam & Paul, I saw your "finding the name of installed application"
posts on Android Developers discussion,

"
PackageManager pm = this.getPackageManager();
Intent mainIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MAIN, null);
mainIntent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_LAUNCHER);
List<ResolveInfo> list = pm.queryIntentActivities(mainIntent, 0);
for(ResolveInfo info: list)
{
Log.w("App browser",
info.activityInfo.applicationInfo.loadLabel( pm ).toString));
}
"

The question is that I want ALL info of ALL installed applications.
Including action, categoty,mimetype and extras corresponding to the
launch Activity of all installed applications.

Searched for quite long time, I cannot seem to figure out how to
obtain those info about installed applications.

Thanks,
Kangli
