Romain, I believe I'm doing something simple wrong, the code below can
install shortcut, but removal silently fails (no exceptions or errors in
logs except that I see a single line mentioning that ActivityManager
processed the call). Tested on Android 2.3.4 phone and on Android 4 tablet
with same result.
Can you see anything wrong?
TIA.
private void setupShortcut(boolean remove)
{
Intent shortcutIntent = new Intent(getBaseContext(), RuntimeActivity.class);
shortcutIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
shortcutIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);
shortcutIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_TASK_ON_HOME);
Intent addIntent = new Intent();
addIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SHORTCUT_INTENT, shortcutIntent);
addIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SHORTCUT_NAME,
_preferences.getString(PREF_APP_NAME, "My Shortcut"));
if (remove)
{
addIntent.setAction("com.android.launcher.action.UNINSTALL_SHORTCUT");
}
else
{
addIntent.setAction("com.android.launcher.action.INSTALL_SHORTCUT");
addIntent.putExtra("duplicate", false);
File iconFile = new File(getFilesDir(), "icon.png");
if (iconFile.exists())
{
Bitmap icon = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(iconFile.getPath());
addIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SHORTCUT_ICON, icon);
}
else
{
addIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SHORTCUT_ICON_RESOURCE,
Intent.ShortcutIconResource.fromContext(this, R.drawable.ic_launcher));
}
}
sendBroadcast(addIntent);
}
