Ghost is our system interface application. It will detect the package name of the application software installed in the system, resolve the icons and names of these applications and display them in the Application List using the gridview, if we do not want to display the application icons in luncher, we can simply modify androidmanifest. XML file.
For example, shield one of my test application icons:
<? XML version = "1.0" encoding = "UTF-8"?> <Manifest xmlns: Android = "http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" package = "com. android. test "Android: versioncode =" 1 "Android: versionname =" 1.0 "> <application Android: icon =" @ drawable/icon "Android: label = "@ string/app_name"> <activity Android: Name = ". phonetest "Android: Label =" @ string/app_name "> <intent-filter> <action Android: Name =" android. intent. action. main "/> <! -- Where we want to block <category Android: Name = "android. intent. category. launcher "/> --> </intent-filter> </activity> </Application> <uses-Permission Android: Name =" android. permission. read_contacts "> </uses-Permission> </manifest>
<! -- Where we want to block <category Android: Name = "android. intent. category. launcher "/> --> This statement indicates that we do not want our applications to be started in launcher, and of course we cannot see the icons of our applications.
