[FEATURE REQUEST] Work Apps

[0xlne]

I have a work profile on my device & at this moment, Hex doesn't display the work apps.

[triallax]

Copying over my issue body from #9, in case it's useful:

I use Shelter to isolate some "Big Brother" apps from the other apps, and I can't seem to find apps in the work profile in Hex Launcher. Neither can I find them in Settings > Show All Apps, if that helps matters. I use Android 11 with a Samsung A51. Some links I found that might be useful: https://github.com/Neamar/KISS/issues/542 https://github.com/Neamar/KISS/pull/609

I'm not familiar with work profiles at all, and Hex Launcher is a full re-implementation (e.g. not using the common library that most launchers use). If this is a "must have" feature for you, then you should look elsewhere for now. Sorry!

I will be looking at this as a long term task.

[0xlne]

Thanks for your response; for what it's worth,it's been done in some of the other FOSS apps (Posidon, Kvaesitso, Lawnchair) so a look at their source might help on how to access the list of apps within that work profile.

[MrMannWood]

This should be supported as as 1.4.4. I don't have access to a device with a work profile, so it would be great it someone could confirm that this actually works properly.

Unfortunately, on my device, the app crashes on launch with the following exception:

android.content.pm.PackageManager$NameNotFoundException: org.thoughtcrime.securesms
    at android.app.ApplicationPackageManager.getPackageInfoAsUser(ApplicationPackageManager.java:292)
    at android.app.ApplicationPackageManager.getPackageInfo(ApplicationPackageManager.java:264)

    at android.os.Looper.loop(Looper.java:313)
    at android.os.HandlerThread.run(HandlerThread.java:67)

org.thoughtcrime.securesms is the application ID of Signal, which I have installed in my work profile but not in my main one.

I've upgraded from Android 11 to Android 12 since I last commented, but Hex Launcher crashed before I upgraded too.

[MrMannWood]

Thanks for the bug report! I'll try to push a fix this weekend.

[MrMannWood]

It looks like this is caused because you have Signal set as one of your shortcuts. The way I'm reading and setting up the shortcuts is causing signal to crash, likely because it's in your work profile.

As a quick fix, you could clear the app's data. This will reset all of your settings (sorry!) but will solve the crashing problem. You would also need to not set another work profile app as a shortcut until I've implemented a proper fix.

[triallax]

Sorry, but I have no idea what you mean by setting Signal as one of my shortcuts. Also, clearing Hex Launcher's data (assuming that is what you mean by "app") doesn't fix the crash.

Sorry if I misunderstood something here.

[MrMannWood]

Nope, you've provided extremely valuable information.

[0xlne]

I tried updating from 1.4.3 to 1.4.5 (f-droid) & it kept crashing on launching. I also tried clearing app data, as well as uninstalling & installing from scratch - all with the same effect. 2 devices were tested: Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ on Android 11, & RedMagic 6 on Android 11.

Here's a logcat from the latter:

Should be fixed in 1.4.6. I don't have a work profile and can't confirm, but fingers are crossed. Reopen if crash continues.
