              for (int i = 0; i < pakageInstall.size(); i++) {

                     PackageInfo packInfo = pakageInstall.get(i);

                     appStructure = new AppStructure();

                     appStructure.appName = packInfo.applicationInfo.loadLabel(getPackageManager()).toString();

                     appStructure.appIcons = packInfo.applicationInfo.loadIcon(getPackageManager());

                     appStructurelist.add(appStructure);
