java - Alphabetize List of Installed Apps -

i have list of users installed applications , want come out alphabetized (not on dividers or alphabetized) looked around haven't found (it has been dividers). feel should simple thing haven't been able figure out. here code:

utilities.java:

package com.example.awesomefilebuilderwidget;  imports  public class utilities {  /*  * installed application on mobile , return list  * @param   c   context of application  * @return  list of installed applications  */ public static list<resolveinfo> getinstalledapplications(context c) {     intent intent = new intent(intent.action_main);     intent.addcategory(intent.category_launcher);     return c.getpackagemanager().queryintentactivities(intent, packagemanager.get_activities); } 

appinfoadapter.java:

package com.example.awesomefilebuilderwidget;   imports  public class appinfoadapter extends baseadapter implements filterable { private context mcontext; private list<resolveinfo> mlistappinfo; private packagemanager mpackmanager; private list<resolveinfo> originallistappinfo;  public appinfoadapter(context c, list<resolveinfo> listapp,         packagemanager pm) {     mcontext = c;     this.originallistappinfo = this.mlistappinfo = listapp;     mpackmanager = pm;     log.d("appinfoadapter", "top"); }  @override public int getcount() {     log.d("appinfoadapter", "getcount()");     return mlistappinfo.size(); }  @override public object getitem(int position) {     log.d("appinfoadapter", "getitem");     return mlistappinfo.get(position); }  @override public long getitemid(int position) {     log.d("appinfoadapter", "getitemid");     return position; }  @override public view getview(final int position, view convertview, viewgroup parent) {     // selected entry     final resolveinfo entry = (resolveinfo) mlistappinfo.get(position);      // reference convertview     view v = convertview;      // inflate new layout if null     if (v == null) {         layoutinflater inflater = layoutinflater.from(mcontext);         v = inflater.inflate(r.layout.layout_appinfo, null);         log.d("appinfoadapter", "new layout inflated");     }      // load controls layout resources     imageview ivappicon = (imageview) v.findviewbyid(r.id.ivicon);     textview tvappname = (textview) v.findviewbyid(r.id.tvname);     textview tvpkgname = (textview) v.findviewbyid(r.id.tvpack);     final checkbox addcheckbox = (checkbox) v             .findviewbyid(r.id.addcheckbox);     log.d("appinfoadapter", "controls layout resources loaded");      // set data display     ivappicon.setimagedrawable(entry.loadicon(mpackmanager));     tvappname.settext(entry.activityinfo.loadlabel(mpackmanager));     tvpkgname.settext(entry.activityinfo.packagename);  } 

drag_and_drop_app:

// create new adapter     adapter = new appinfoadapter(this, (list<resolveinfo>) utilities.getinstalledapplications(this), getpackagemanager());     // load list application    mlistappinfo = (listview)findviewbyid(r.id.lvapps);     // set adapter list view     mlistappinfo.setadapter(adapter); 

so best way alphabetize list?

final answer:

    public static arraylist<resolveinfo> getinstalledapplications(context c) {     intent intent = new intent(intent.action_main);     intent.addcategory(intent.category_launcher);     final packagemanager pm = c.getpackagemanager();     arraylist<resolveinfo> applist = (arraylist<resolveinfo>) c.getpackagemanager().queryintentactivities(intent, packagemanager.get_activities);     collections.sort(applist, new comparator<resolveinfo>(){           public int compare(resolveinfo emp1, resolveinfo emp2) {             return emp1.loadlabel(pm).tostring().comparetoignorecase(emp2.loadlabel(pm).tostring());           }         });     return applist; } 

not tested:

public static arraylist<resolveinfo> getinstalledapplications(context c) {     intent intent = new intent(intent.action_main);     intent.addcategory(intent.category_launcher);     arraylist<resolveinfo> applist = c.getpackagemanager().queryintentactivities(intent, packagemanager.get_activities);     collections.sort(applist, new comparator<resolveinfo>(){           public int compare(resolveinfo emp1, resolveinfo emp2) {             return emp1.loadlabel(pm).tostring().comparetoignorecase(emp2.loadlabel(pm).tostring());           }         });     return applist; 

}
