Question

I am doing some experiments on my device – I want to be able to remove any application from an Android device using my application.

Given the package name of an app, how can I force the user to go to that package’s uninstaller page in the Manage Applications widget?

Thanks.

This may be helpful to you:

Uri packageURI = Uri.parse("package:com.android.myapp");
Intent uninstallIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_DELETE, packageURI);
startActivity(uninstallIntent);
