I have created app shortcut on home screen. but Its not working. it always
shows the toast app isn't installed
. I have tried 2 different codes but the result is always same.
Here is the first code
private void addShortcut() {
Intent shortcutIntent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), MainActivity.class);
shortcutIntent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_MAIN);
Intent addIntent = new Intent();
addIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SHORTCUT_INTENT, shortcutIntent);
addIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SHORTCUT_NAME, "AppName");
addIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SHORTCUT_ICON_RESOURCE,
Intent.ShortcutIconResource.fromContext(
getApplicationContext(), R.drawable.ic_launcher));
addIntent.setAction("com.android.launcher.action.INSTALL_SHORTCUT");
getApplicationContext().sendBroadcast(addIntent);
}
Second code
public static void addShortcut(Context context)
{
Intent shortcut = new Intent("com.android.launcher.action.INSTALL_SHORTCUT");
ApplicationInfo appInfo = context.getApplicationInfo();
shortcut.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SHORTCUT_NAME, "appInfo.name");
shortcut.putExtra("duplicate", false);
ComponentName component = new ComponentName(appInfo.packageName, "MainActivity.class");
shortcut.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SHORTCUT_INTENT, new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MAIN).setComponent(component));
ShortcutIconResource iconResource = Intent.ShortcutIconResource.fromContext(context, appInfo.icon);
shortcut.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SHORTCUT_ICON_RESOURCE, iconResource);
context.sendBroadcast(shortcut);
}
