[maemo-developers] HOWTO: Query installed application

[From: Aldon Hynes]

For Icons Check:
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/hildon
or
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/hildon

Also, when you do a dpkg -l you can find the files for the package in
/var/lib/dpkg/info
For each package, you can check the <pkg>.list file to see what files it has

For applications on the desktop, I believe you should look for
/usr/share/applications/hildon/...
In that file you should find the name of the icon being used.

Hope this helps.

Aldon

  Thanks for the answer. But I need to query the applications not from shell
but out of an application...

Hi everybody,
how can I obtain information about the installed applications


The command 'dpkg -l' will show you all installed packages on your device.


and access
their icons?


Icons are kept in specific directories on the device, I'll look that up.
