Postconditions
The example displays an alphabetically ordered list of installed applications and their UIDs on an HTML page.
Supplementary material
- You can test the application listing features in action in a simple, executable application into which this code snippet has been patched. The application is available for download at: Media:WRTStub CS001160.zip
- You can examine all the changes that are required to implement the above mentioned features in an application. The changes are provided in unified diff and color-coded diff formats: Media:CS001160 Listing installed applications.diff.zip
- For general information on applying the patch, see Using Diffs.
- For unpatched stub applications, see Example app stubs with logging framework.
