Android 10(Q) 以上普通 APP 隐藏应用图标问题探究及解决方案

1、实验环境

aosp 版本 10.0 系统

aosp 版本 13.0 系统

2、验证结果

2.1 方式一

APP AndroidManifest.xml 中通过 activity-alias 配置带 LAUNCHER 属性 category，并且 android:enabled="true"

10.0 系统中可安装后正常显示 icon，通过 setComponentEnabledSetting 隐藏 icon 成功，桌面上不留下 app 相关任何图标

13.0 系统中可安装后正常显示 icon，通过 setComponentEnabledSetting 隐藏 icon 不成功，桌面上会留下透明占位 alias 图标

2.2 方式二

APP AndroidManifest.xml 中通过 activity-alias 配置带 LAUNCHER 属性 category，并且 android:enabled="false"

10.0 系统中首次安装后直接不显示 icon，但通过 setComponentEnabledSetting 可控制隐藏 icon 成功，桌面上不留下 app 相关任何图标

13.0 系统中首次安装后直接不显示 icon，但通过 setComponentEnabledSetting 可控制隐藏 icon 成功，桌面上不留下 app 相关任何图标

3、展开讲讲

目前隐藏图标的思路几乎都是这样的，在 AndroidManifest.xml 中配置一些 activity-alias，然后通过

getPackageManager().setComponentEnabledSetting(new ComponentName(con,activityAliasName,PackageManager.COMPONENT_ENABLED_STATE_DISABLED,PackageManager.DONT_KILL_APP);

禁用(隐藏) activity-alias 组件

启用(显示) activity-alias 组件

在 10.0 以上高版本，谷歌加了补丁更新，导致此种方式不再适用。由这个值 show_hidden_icon_apps_enabled 控制

Settings.Global.putInt(getContentResolver(), "show_hidden_icon_apps_enabled", 0);

经过验证，将 show_hidden_icon_apps_enabled 改为 0，高版本上即可延用之前方式隐藏图标。

但普通app是肯定改不了这个值的，没有权限 Permission denial: writing to settings requires:android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS
