Android Question Add pinned shortcut usage?

[tsteward]

I found the Add Pin Shortcut code
I have added this code to my app.
in Activity_Create if first time I call RequestPinShortcut and it works great.

How do I only call this if shortcut does not exist?
What's the update parametre used for?

Thanks probs obvious to some, looked for examples of usage but couldn't find

You can use this (untested) code to get the current pinned shortcuts:

Dim CurrentShortcuts As List = ShortcutManagerCompat.RunMethod("getShortcuts", Array(ctxt,  0x00000004))

What's the update parametre used for?

Doesn't work gives this error:
java.lang.RuntimeException: Method: getShortcuts not found in: androidx.core.content.pm.ShortcutManagerCompat

Seems like this method is new and isn't yet available in AndroidX stable version.

You can use this code to get this information on Android 7.1+:

Dim p As Phone
If p.SdkVersion >= 25 Then
    Dim ShortcutManager As JavaObject = ctxt.RunMethod("getSystemService", Array("shortcut"))
    Dim pinned As List = ShortcutManager.RunMethod("getPinnedShortcuts", Null)
    Log(pinned.Size)
End If
