How to make a launcher

[samwoodsywoods]

Hi guys,

I am interesting in making a launcher.

http://www.b4x.com/android/forum/th...p-into-a-home-screen-launcher-with-b4a.26001/
I have seen this page which demonstrates how to classify your application as a launcher.

Does anyone have any ideas on the best way to create a launcher?

More specifically, what is the best way to create the app drawer (i.e. getting all the package names and icons)?

Additionally, I would greatly appreciate if someone could point me in the direction of a launcher created with B4A (if there has been).

Thanks

For the app drawer you can use package manager to get all the information you need.
Though make sure you dont compromise speed

Thanks, would this also allow me to retrieve the apps icons?

Yes. As a drawable.
