[Q] Is there a way to hide apps from each other?

I'm no pro, so forgive anything stupid I may say in advance. I recently learned that any android application has permission to see any application installed on your device. I'm a bit of a privacy nut, and I have concerns with this for a plethora of reasons. I was hoping to learn of a method that would allow me to somehow prevent apps from being able to see what's installed, or at minimum, mask the actual application names so the data an app gets is useless for any purposes they may have for it.

Is there any way to achieve such a thing?
