apk - How to check programmatically if an application is installed or not in Android?

Question

We have installed applications programmatically.

1. If the application is already installed in the device the application is open automatically.
2. Otherwise install the particular application.

Guide Me. I have no idea. Thanks.

Try with this:

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

        // Add respective layout
        setContentView(R.layout.main_activity);

        // Use package name which we want to check
        boolean isAppInstalled = appInstalledOrNot("com.check.application");  
        
        if(isAppInstalled) {
            //This intent will help you to launch if the package is already installed
            Intent LaunchIntent = getPackageManager()
                .getLaunchIntentForPackage("com.check.application");
            startActivity(LaunchIntent);
                    
            Log.i("SampleLog", "Application is already installed.");          
        } else {
            // Do whatever we want to do if application not installed
            // For example, Redirect to play store

            Log.i("SampleLog", "Application is not currently installed.");
        }
    }

    private boolean appInstalledOrNot(String uri) {
        PackageManager pm = getPackageManager();
        try {
            pm.getPackageInfo(uri, PackageManager.GET_ACTIVITIES);
            return true;
        } catch (PackageManager.NameNotFoundException e) {
        }

        return false;
    }

}
