    <p>How in the world does Nova manage this? I'm literally trying to do exactly the same thing: provide users with a button to press to clear and pick their new default launcher. </p> <p>I'm able to get the default app name and display it: </p> <pre><code> private String getPrefered(Intent i) { PackageManager pm = this.getActivity().getPackageManager(); final ResolveInfo mInfo = pm.resolveActivity(i, 0); return (String) pm.getApplicationLabel(mInfo.activityInfo.applicationInfo); } </code></pre> <p>where <code>Intent i</code> is</p> <pre><code>Intent home = new Intent("android.intent.action.MAIN"); home.addCategory("android.intent.category.HOME"); </code></pre> <p>Then I call up the system ResolveActivity,</p> <pre><code>private void makePrefered() { Intent selector = new Intent("android.intent.action.MAIN"); selector.addCategory("android.intent.category.HOME"); selector.setComponent(new ComponentName("android", "com.android.internal.app.ResolverActivity")); startActivity(selector); } </code></pre> <p>The picker comes up and functions correctly, but it doesn't actually set or clear any values. While debugging it, it seems as if I'm missing some extras? When I call the <code>makePrefered</code> method, I get the following log message,</p> <pre><code>I/ActivityManager( 602): START {act=android.intent.action.MAIN cat=[android.intent.category.HOME] cmp=android/com.android.internal.app.ResolverActivity u=0} from pid 22641 </code></pre> <p>When I use the Nova implementation I see all of this however, </p> <pre><code> I/PackageManager( 602): Result set changed, dropping preferred activity for Intent { act=android.intent.action.MAIN cat=[android.intent.category.HOME] flg=0x10200000 (has extras) } type null I/ActivityManager( 602): START {act=android.intent.action.MAIN cat=[android.intent.category.HOME] flg=0x10200000 cmp=android/com.android.internal.app.ResolverActivity (has extras) u=0} from pid 22905 I/ActivityManager( 602): START {act=android.intent.action.MAIN cat=[android.intent.category.HOME] flg=0x10200000 cmp=com.mycolorscreen.canvas/.Launcher (has extras) u=0} from pid 22905 </code></pre> <ol> <li>How can I get in there and see what's being sent along with that bundle?</li> <li>How can I just clear the preferred app? Don't tell me you can't, I've seen enough of those answers. Nova does it and does it exactly the way that I would like to.</li> </ol>
