Is there a way to programmatically access Android's Manage apps?
Andorid has a Manage apps button, that allows you to manage apps. For each app, you can have the option of moving to sd card or uninstall. You can individually access each app. I want to be able to provide a single button that moves all apps to SD card. Is there a way of programmatically accessing the Manage apps? Does android has any interface/API that allows one to do that.

Hi,

You cannot unless the device is rooted sir, so thus it would be useless unless the person were to be using it on a rooted device and installing your application by hand, either via a terminal on Android or via an APK installer app.
This is a security feature! I know it seems like a good idea to move everything to SD but it usually isn't. We want to convince manufacturers to build in more memory, not users to have to manage the location of their apps.
