Question:
In code, how can I get a full list of available apps on a device ?

Answer:
Use this code to find out information about available applications:

RApaLsSession ls;
if(ls.Connect() == KErrNone)
{
if(ls.GetAllApps() != KErrNone)
return;
TApaAppInfo info;
while(ls.GetNextApp(info) == KErrNone)
{
TApaAppInfo info1;
ls.GetAppInfo(info1,info.iUid); // Gets the Uid of the application
TFileName fileName = info1.iFullName; // Gets full path for application
}
}
