Hide the Application in Application Manager in Android

I want 开发者_JAVA技巧to hide my Application in Android's Application Manager.

Is it possible ?

How I can achieve this ?

Thanks.

If you mean Settings->Applications->Manage Application, then you can't hide your application from there. Even pre-installed application are listed there (though use cannot do some operation on them, like uninstall or move to sdcard). Ability to hide 3rd party apps from user in this place would be considered as security flow. Somebody could install some malicious app and user couldn't even see it.

If you want to hide your application from Application Launcher, then just do not include android.intent.category.LAUNCHER in any of your activities. For more read Intents and intents-filters and Intent.CATEGORY_LAUNCHER documentation.
