Question

Answer 1

by using this you can get installed app package names and app names

List<PackageInfo> packageInfos=getPackageManager().getInstalledPackages(0);
for (PackageInfo packageInfo:packageInfos)
{
        Log.d(TAG,"packageName "+packageInfo.packageName);
        Log.d(TAG,"appname "+getPackageManager().getApplicationLabel(packageInfo.applicationInfo));
}

Answer 2

My guess is your code is throwing a NullPointerException because the name field is null. In any event, what you probably want is:

String appname = packageManager.getApplicationLabel(pk).toString()
