How to find out which packages are installed in a apex call?

I like to change my apex code behavior depending on what other packages are installed in a org. Can I query for that? I don't seem to see a object for that?

 

Thanks,

 

Matt

Only option is to run a dynamic describe call in apex (see dynamic apex) and look for the objects from the other packages.  The objects will be prefixed with their namespace.

We don't have a great way of doing this.  What is your use case?

I like to integrate with a 3rd party package if installed,

 

if (it is available) {do this} else {do that}

 

Thanks,

That will work as a workaround, thanks Matt
