Android :: Add Application Launch Shortcut In Eclipse?
Aug 7, 2010
I've been programming Android in Eclipse for about a year now and I have always launched my app by right clicking on my project name in the project explorer, followed by "run as", then "Android Application". There has to be a better way...
Is there a way to change this (three mouse clicks): "Right click on project" -> "run as" -> "Android Application"
To this (one hotkey press): <My favorite hotkey>
So I can just press one button to launch my app?

Is it possible to define a shortcut key to launch the app I'm developing for android? Can a service running in the background get hardware button events like the camera or send button for example.

Does anyone know of a shortcut or a way to make a shortcut to launch the video camera app? I hate having to open the camera and try to operate the slider to change the mode to video. The Youtube app works but takes up too much space on the screen. I have BetterCut but have no idea how to make a shortcut to this function

I've come across a very annoying problem, which only seems to happen when I launch my app from eclipse for testing. If I launch it normally, it doesn't seem to have this problem.
This is how I can reproduce it: - Launch app via Eclipse - Press Home - Relaunch app via icon - Click menu->exit which tells the Service to clean up and calls finish () when the Service finishes cleaning up
For some reason, there seem to be two instances of the activity, one exits normally and the other one gains focus. Clicking exit does nothing since the Service has stopped but the Service variable is not null. Attempting to use the app launches errors since the resource it uses have been closed. I can force a close via the crash and relaunch the app, and it exits normally this time.
As I said, it only happens when launching the app via Eclipse. Anyone know what could cause this? My launchMode is set to singleTask, however, that shouldn't cause an issue, I used that mode before. I tried calling finish() regardless of the state of the Service, but it doesn't seem to help.

Does anyone know how to DEBUG build an APK and launch it directly with Eclipse?
in my case, no matter whether i use Run> or Debug> menu command in Eclipse, my apk always logs Config.DEBUG as "false", although obviously the apk is signed with the key in factory debug.store.

Do we need to launch the virtual device from eclipse every time we want to test our code? If yes, then is there any other method to make it a bit faster?

While playing with my phone the other day I realised a way of adding application shortcuts a faster way to the home screen then holding a blank space, choosing shortcuts, applications then selecting. Open your apps list and just tap and hold an app, it then pops to the homescreen so you can add the shortcut. Found this much quicker than waiting for the apps list to load everytime.

When you click the app drawer it pulls up all the apps installed in abc order. What I want is a shortcut on my desk top to do the same thing. Just an icon on the desktop that once click will open all my apps. Its needs to be a shortcut and not a widget as I'd like to be able to change the icon when i want.(As far as I know you can not change the icon on a widget)

I tried Button Shortcut to remap the search soft key for use with VLingo, and no dice. I got the option to set VLingo as my default on that long press once, and I did, but it just goes to the standard Google Voice search still. No option offered anymore at all. Tried clearing Voice Search "defaults" under application settings and still nothing.

In my android application, I create shortcuts by code to some activities within my application. I do this feature by using the broadcast:
intent.setAction("com.android.launcher.action.INSTALL_SHORTCUT");sendBroadcast(intent);
And that's cool, that really work!
Now I would like to do something different: I have seen that some actions can "register" somewhere to be added in the Android menu, when you long press on the Home like this one:
http://www.androidtapp.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/UltimateFaves-Add-Home-Screen-Shortcut.jpg
So my main question is the next one:
How is that possible to register for this menu. I guess there is some line to add in the manifest, but cannot see where to do that!
There is a secondary question: once i will have succeed doing that, may I add a different number of shortcuts in my menu ( imagine That I would like to do that for a multi-account twitter client, I would like to see a different for each twitter account in this list.) So the number of shortcut is programmaticaly computed.

Does anyone know of any application that allows placing a shortcut on the home screen to a sequence of actions? That one shortcut would, for instance:
Set WiFi Off
Set the Car Mode app on
Set the Disable Car Screen app on
Toggle from 3G to 2G
or another macro shortcut could:
Turn the LockRinger app off
Switch to Silent mode
Turn WiFi on
I've been searching the app market but, so far, I haven't discovered anything offering that sort of handy functionality.

I added to the manifest file for the activity to be launched:
<intent-filter> <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW">
</action> <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT">
</category> <category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE">
</category> <data android:scheme="my_scheme"/> </intent-filter>
I load the link in WebView:
mWebView.loadData("<a href="my_scheme://launch_my_app/refresh_all ">Launch App</a>", "text/html", "utf-8");
When I click on the link I get the error -10 "The protocol is not supported" in My WebViewClient.OnReceivedError override.

I created an app with one activity, and it works just fine. Having though more about the app, I decided to add another activity which be the welcome screen of the app, with a nice logo and some buttons. This app should direct the user to the activity I mentioned before. The only trouble is - I can't find out where and how can I determine which activity should launch first, the moment the app loads. Do I need to create the entire app from scratch, but this time programing the home activity first?

I'm developing an application that should add it's shortcut to home screen after installation and remove it after the application is being uninstalled. The application will be preinstalled on the end user device, but still should have an option for uninstall). The task looks very simple but I've faced lots of troubles implementing it. What I have done:
Add shortcut to the home screen using
com.android.launcher.action.INSTALL_SHORTCUT
on app first launch or on newt device
reboot.
MANUALY remove shortcut using
com.android.launcher.action.UNINSTALL_SHORTCUT................

I've run this on a device and on the emulator. The app stops unexpectedly on both. I have not a clue what is wrong currently. It uses Google API Maps I compiled with Google Api 7. I followed this tutorial:
http://developer.android.com/guide/tutorials/views/hello-mapview.html
I did use the correct API Key That the final apk is signed with. This is the source(If you compile it shouldn't work as it is unsigned). This is the compiled signed apk

I have an application with two activities and I'd like to be able to have two icons appear in the launcher, each launching the respective activity within the app.Specifically, I want one icon to launch my main app, and another icon to launch my settings activity. Is this possible?This creates two launcher icons, but they both run my main app instead of the second icon running my settings app. I've tried just having the launcher category but then I don't get an icon so it looks like I need the main action as well.Is this the right approach or should I be declaring two applications in the manifest instead?

I have a G1 Android that's been rooted. My problem is that Market and Gmail crashes on launch. I also cannot get to the Data Synchronization page. It displays the page for a split second and then instantly closes out. Is there a way to reset the apps? I've tried factory reset and upgrading to a newer version of Cyanogen mod without success.

I am facing a problem with a clock widget i made. I want the user to touch the clock and launch the clock app on the phone. this is the code...
I made the above so the when i touch the clock opens the alarm settings. But is not universal.
I found out that on droids with 2.2 does not work. There must be a better solution than creating an if statement for every android phone flavor i the world. Plus i don not know the package names for all.
