I need to hide or show my app’s icon in the launcher depending on some runtime information. I’d like to still be able to run the activity by an explicit intent, so disabling the activity isn’t a good option (I don’t even know for sure if it will work, I haven’t tried it yet, but I guess it will). So, can I disable an intent filter?
You can’t do this directly, but you can create an activity alias in your
AndroidManifest.xmlwith the intent filter in question, and then enable or disable the alias usingPackageManager#setComponentEnabledSetting(), leaving your other intent filters in the main copy of the Activity so they won’t be affected.
