    <p>If you long press on your homescreen and pick to add an application shortcut, you will be greeted with a listview showing all of your instal applications. I needed this same functionality in my application so I copied the intent from the launcher source:</p> <pre><code> Intent mainIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MAIN, null); mainIntent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_LAUNCHER); Intent pickIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK_ACTIVITY); pickIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_INTENT, mainIntent); this.startActivityForResult(pickIntent, MoreIconsConstants.REQUEST_PICK_APPLICATION) </code></pre> <p>When this executes on the launcher it is pretty speedy. When I execute this in my activity it takes maybe 15 seconds instead of 3. It seems like the launcher must be caching this data for some amount of time? Is there any way I can cache the data too?</p> <p>Thanks!</p>

    1. COIf you've already taken that code from the launcher source, then you should be able to check relatively easily whether there's any caching going on! :)

    2. COI didn't see anything that jumped out at me for caching, but it doesn't change the fact that one is fast and one is slow :) I also was not able to locate the code that goes on inside of that intent which pops up the listview. Maybe the caching is going on in there but for some reason only works with the launcher. Very frustrating.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
