Hi folks!
I'm trying to have my home-screen application register itself as the
default home-screen so the user is not prompted with the
IntentResolver's list of all the available home-activities.
this is my code:
private void makePreferred() {
PackageManager pm = getPackageManager();
IntentFilter f = new IntentFilter("android.intent.action.MAIN");
f.addCategory("android.intent.category.HOME");
f.addCategory("android.intent.category.DEFAULT");
ComponentName cn = new ComponentName("com.example.android.home",
"com.example.android.home.Home");
pm.addPreferredActivity(f, IntentFilter.MATCH_CATEGORY_EMPTY,
null,
cn);
I have the android.permission.SET_PREFERRED_APPLICATIONS set in the
manifest. After executing the code above, the logs claim things have
been added like expected (same logs as when I tick off "Make default"
from IntentResolver's list). However, when I proceed by clicking home,
the list still shows up and the logs say:
INFO/PackageManager(52): Result set changed, dropping preferred
activity for Intent { act=android.intent.action.MAIN cat=
[android.intent.category.HOME] flg=0x10200000 } type null
So it seems the resolver deletes the default entry. Am I doing
something wrong, or is this a security measure? What are the ideas
behind this?
Thanks folks!
Kris
