Hide an application from Android application list

Question

Is there any way to hide an application icon from Android applications list ? The application should be downloaded from Market and opened some GUI for configuring my application. I don't want to see any icon of my application in applications list. User should not be able to run it.

By the way I know some way: remove this line from manifest category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER"

But it is not worked for me, because the GUI is not shown.

Thanks very much !

Answer 1

Removing the launcher category is correct.

Try adding android.intent.category.DEFAULT to the intent filter to be able to call the activity.
