How to display the list of apps installed in the system with a good layout.

Have you tried anything at all? This is extremely easy and is covered in almost any examples of PackageManager anywhere.

you might need to learn about ListView:
http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/layout/listview.html



to get list of all installed app, you can follow this link: How to get a list of installed android applications and pick one to run



tried put all app list in your ListView,



to get app icon, after you get all the app list, you will also get their package name, follow this link:
How can i get the application's icon from the package name?



Use PackageManager to get all details of installed packages


PackageManager


packages


PackageManager packageManager = getPackageManager();
List apps = packageManager.getInstalledApplications(PackageManager.GET_META_DATA);

PHP contact form sending but not receiving emails

PHP contact form sending but not receiving emails I have created a contact form using PHP to send the data. The form seems to send fine as there are no errors and success message appears, however I am not receving the emails into the designated inbox. I am using PHPMailer as I originally tried just using the php 'mail' command which I now understand is a bit hit and miss.

Right now I'm using modern nvidia cards (10xx series) and nvidia inspector.but I'd prefer if there was any value that was also applicable to amd. I have programming and scripting knowledge. I am running Windows 10 1 Answer 1 This is a powershell example to pull information from video cards. The DeviceID is supposed to be unique but only if the manufacturer supports Windows Display Driver Model (WDDM). (I copied this directly from docs.microsoft.com) $strComputer = "." $colItems = get-wmiobject -class "Win32_VideoC...

iOS Top Alignment constraint based on screen (superview) height Let's say for example i want my view's top margin be 30 px for iPhone 6s and for the other screen i want to change this constants from 30 to X where X is proportional to total height of screen i.e. 36.5 for iPhone X, 33 for iPhone 6s plus, 25 for iPhone SE And so on .... I know i can take @IBOutlet of NSLayoutConstraint and change it programmatically but what i want is i want to set it like aspect ratio that we have for height width like subview's heigh width is proportional it's superview it changes with super view's height and width @IBOutlet NSLayoutConstraint 2 Answers 2 The constraint you need here is the superView's centerY set multiplier to 0.5 if you want the top anchor's constant to be 0.25 of screen height from the top , so adjust the multiplier according to this logic which is height_of_scre...
