Hi,

I'd like to test if an android application is installed from the command line, how can I do it ?

Here's one way, not elegant, but might help. If the app is installed, there should be an entry in 'applications', so try this; 

grep -r 'insert-app-name-here' /usr/share/applications

@fmotl Thanks :) Can you replace your command line by this one in your comment : 

grep -ri 'Exec=.*insert-app-name-here' /usr/share/applications/
