I solved this by using a list of pre-defined internet browsers.
I check if there is any folder with the name of the browser package, if it exists it calls the browser. If it does not exist, call Google play to install the browser.
But if you want to see all the apps installed by the user can use the command:
os.listdir ()
https://www.tutorialspoint.com/python/os_listdir.htm
Android Apps installed:
'/data/data/'
or
'/storage/sdcard0/Android/data/'
A sample of my code:
Code:
import xbmc, xbmcplugin, xbmcgui, xbmc, xbmcaddon
import urllib, urllib2, re, HTMLParser, os
import webbrowser
addon_id = 'plugin.video.YOUR_ADDON_NAME'
selfAddon = xbmcaddon.Addon(id=addon_id)
addon_dir = xbmc.translatePath( selfAddon.getAddonInfo('path') )
G_header = 'YOUR_ADDON_Title'
def msg(text):
dialog = xbmcgui.Dialog()
ok = dialog.ok(G_header, text)
def dlgYN(text):
dialog = xbmcgui.Dialog()
return dialog.yesno(G_header, text)
def get_system_platform():
platform = "unknown"
if xbmc.getCondVisibility('system.platform.linux') and not xbmc.getCondVisibility('system.platform.android'):
platform = "linux"
elif xbmc.getCondVisibility('system.platform.linux') and xbmc.getCondVisibility('system.platform.android'):
platform = "android"
elif xbmc.getCondVisibility( "system.platform.xbox" ):
platform = "xbox"
elif xbmc.getCondVisibility( "system.platform.windows" ):
platform = "windows"
elif xbmc.getCondVisibility( "system.platform.osx" ):
platform = "osx"
elif xbmc.getCondVisibility( "system.platform.ios" ):
platform = "ios"
return platform
