I believe that you can do something like this. Intent i = new Intent(); i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SHORTCUT_INTENT, intent_to_execute_when_clicked); i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SHORTCUT_NAME, title); i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SHORTCUT_ICON, Bitmap_object copy); i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SHORTCUT_ICON_RESOURCE, resource file); i.setAction(INSTALL_SHORTCUT); sendBroadcast(i);
This will create a shortcut so that when the icon is clicked, the intent_to_execute_when_clicked will be launched. -Tope On Wed, Feb 10, 2010 at 11:48 AM, Jason Proctor <[email protected]> wrote: > perhaps i'm not being clear :-) > > supposing my app was an audio player, and i wanted to save out a playlist > shortcut to the "desktop" so that the user could go directly to that > playlist with one tap. is this possible? > > thanks > > >> On the home screen, click Menu -> Add >> >> Then select whatever options you want to add. >> I am not sure about your other question. >> >> On Wed, Feb 10, 2010 at 11:27 AM, Jason Proctor >> <[email protected]> wrote: >>> >>> i was asked today whether it's possible to save out "shortcuts" to the >>> desktop, the way the iPhone can save bookmarks and contacts.
