Comment on Android: Adding desktop shortcut support to your app by Juan Elosua

Hello,

I’m trying to create a desktop shortcut from inside the execution of an activity of my own app, but I am having problems…

What I want to do is the same whatsup app does when you long click on a specific conversation…

This is the code I’m trying to use once the user long clicks and selects the create shortcut option:
AdapterContextMenuInfo info = (AdapterContextMenuInfo) item.getMenuInfo();
TextView tv = (TextView)info.targetView.findViewById(R.id.bstop_id);
String stopId = tv.getText().toString();

Intent shortcut = new Intent (Intent.ACTION_MAIN);
shortcut.setClassName(this, TimetableAct.class.getName());
shortcut.putExtra(BookmarksDbAdapter.KEY_STOPID, stopId);

Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SHORTCUT_INTENT, shortcut);
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SHORTCUT_NAME, stopId);
Parcelable iconResource = Intent.ShortcutIconResource.fromContext(BookmarkAct.this, R.drawable.ic_bstop);
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SHORTCUT_ICON_RESOURCE, iconResource);
intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_CREATE_SHORTCUT);
getApplicationContext().sendBroadcast(intent);

But it is not working….

Any help will be really appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Juan

Do you think it would be useful to check the pointer count (event.getPointerCount() > 1) in the ACTION_DOWN case so you won’t start the counter in multitouch
