Android :: App - Home Taskbar Shortcut

Feb 11, 2010

My back and home keys don't work half the time, so I get stuck in an app unless i power off my phone.
Is there any app out that runs in the background/in the task bar that will let me jump to home on my phone?

Android :: Home Screen Picture Shortcut

Apr 14, 2010

I'm tired of carrying (and misplacing) my stupid drivers license just so I can show it to cashiers at Denny's or wherever they don't accept debit. But it takes too long to open up gallery and sort through all of my photos. If I could set it up as an icon on my home screen, or even the folder it is in as an icon so i could quickly pull it up, that would be perfect.

Android :: Programmatically Delete A Home-screen Shortcut

Apr 10, 2009

I have some questions related to Android's home-screen contents:

1) Is there a way to programmatically delete a home-screen shortcut on Android? I know that it can be done manually but I want to do it in code.

2) Is there a directory where all the contents of the home-screen are stored and, if there is, is there a way to update the contents of this directory?

Android :: Adding His Application To The Add To Home Screen - Shortcut Section

Jul 22, 2010

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.

Android :: Any Application For Placing Macro Shortcut On Home Screen?

Mar 13, 2010

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.

Android :: Strange Force Close On Acore When Adding A Home Screen Shortcut

Jan 2, 2010

I want to add home screen shortcuts to individual chat rooms, in my app.

Here's my code to do so:

CODE:.............

When I go to add the shortcut to my home screen, I get a Force Close, not on my own process, but on com.android.acore(!). I've run the debugger and verified that my code gets executed all the way to the call to finish().

If I do this instead for the EXTRA_SHORTCUT_ICON:

intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SHORTCUT_ICON, R.drawable.icon);

It works fine and places the shortcut, and the shortcut behaves correctly -- but of course the shortcut has the stock Android icon, not mine, since this isn't the proper way to specify the icon.

When I look at the source code of other apps that have done this, and at the one example of it in the official Android reference area, my code looks identical. My icon's a standard 48x48 png that I use for the app's main icon, without problems. I've verified this problem on an emulator running stock 1.6, haven't tested other versions.

General :: Run ADB Command From Home Screen Shortcut?

May 14, 2013

The backstory first:

I have a Nexus 10. I like to plug it into my TV via HDMI and watch videos or play games, or what have you. Since the aspect ratio doesn't match the TV I get black bars on the sides. In a command line, one can type

Code:
am display-size 2560x1440

to change the resolution of the screen and get rid of the black bars on the TV completely (at the cost of adding black bars on the top and bottom of the tablet.)

Code:
am display-size reset
Sets it back to normal.

Rather than typing this into a terminal /every time/ I want to do this, is there a simple widget or app that will let me set up a shortcut on the homescreen that I can just click on to toggle instead?

Samsung Epic 4G :: Application Shortcut Disappear From Home

Nov 29, 2010

I have had my Epic for 10 days now and have swapped it once for this problem. If I power off the phone to save battery life or change battery, when I power up again the app and contact shortcuts I had placed on the home/extended pages have disappeared (the widgets are still there). The apps and data are still there in the apps folder, but it is a pain having to pull my most commonly used ones back to the home pages each time I restart the phone. Sprint tech have remotely rebooted the phones and we have taken both phones back to factory settings several times but the problem always recurs. As I have now had 2 phones with the same problem I am presuming it is a software glitch. Sprint have been less than helpful to date, other than basic resets and changing the phone. Has anyone else had this issue?

Motorola CLIQ :: Putting A Document On A Home Page As A Shortcut

I did a search and when you type in .PDF the search doesn't find anything. I'm sure its because of it being a short word.

I have a .PDF I would like to put possibly on one of my home screens as a shortcut. I plugged my Cliq into my computer and put the document in the memory card, but can't navigate to it through the phone. The only way I can find this file is if I open up Beamreader.

Android :: Way To Make Phone "Home" Shortcut Bypass App?

Jun 10, 2009

I have an app that allows you to create Home "shortcuts" to a specific Activity. It turns out that some of my users will use the app, hit the home key to go do something else, then use one of the shortcuts to jump back to that Activity. Since the app is still in memory it just opens the new Activity on top of the others and the "Back" key will take them back through the whole history. What I'd like to have happen is if they use a shortcut then to effectively kill the history and have the back key just exit the app. Any suggestions?
