the main question is that how can define a button that by pressing it we can uninstall an app by giving the package name or some other info.Just like the uninstall button on the image.

kotlin // This is for kotlin

 < uses-permission android:name="android.permission.REQUEST_DELETE_PACKAGES" />

Code

val intent = Intent(Intent.ACTION_DELETE)
intent.data = Uri.parse("package:"+app_package_name)
startActivity(intent)
// note app package name should be given properly.

try

Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_DELETE);
intent.setData(Uri.parse("package:app package name"));
startActivity(intent);

If this doesn't work then change intent to:

Intent.ACTION_UNINSTALL_PACKAGE);

and set datatype as:

intent.setDataAndType(Uri.parse("package:" + your app package name));

Try this:

Intent intent = null;
if (VERSION.SDK_INT >= VERSION_CODES.ICE_CREAM_SANDWICH) {
    intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_UNINSTALL_PACKAGE);
} else {
    intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_DELETE);
}

intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
intent.setData(Uri.fromParts("package", packageName, null));
if(intent.resolveActivity(getActivity( ).getPackageManager()) != null) {
    startActivity(intent);
}
