Phone app missing from app drawer

[thefzsalam]

The stock phone dialler app is not shown in any tabs of app drawer on my Samsung Galaxy J5 (2016). Contacts and Messages app are shown.

Same. It happens because the app considers only the package name but not the fact that it might have several activities (the case with this application in particular). Fix: use package and activity name for that.

Thanks for the insight. I might have time to look into that next week. 👍

@Lonami, confirmed. That's the issue. Working on a fix. :)

Awesome, thank you :D

I have edited the dbmodels and SQLiteHelper to store activityName in addition to packageName in the SQLite database.

How to launch a specific activity of a package from here?

                Intent i = mPackageManager.getLaunchIntentForPackage(app.packageName.toString());
                if (i != null) {
                    // Sanity check (application may have been uninstalled)
                    // TODO Remove it from the database
                    mActivity.startActivity(i);
                }

I had also tried this:

                    mActivity.startActivity(new Intent(app.activityName.toString()));

But results in the following error:

Uhm did you try looking up online or experimenting on different places? See https://ddg.gg/android%20launch%20package%20specific%20activity

I did try googling. I think I gave up too early. Thanks @Lonami :+1: Just learned that DuckDuckGo can do awesome stuffs like that.

I'll try reviewing #71 once I have some time :)
