C Chmava Member Licensed User Longtime User Oct 5, 2012 #1 Hi, i have search but could not find an answer. how do we get android application to also install a shortcut when installing application? Like B4A-Bridge, it auto install a shortcut when installing application. Any answer is appreciated! Thank You.

Erel B4X founder Staff member Licensed User Longtime User Oct 5, 2012 #4 Not sure which shortcut you are referring to. It is not possible to silently install an app unless you are connected with USB debugging. This is why you see the dialog when you use B4A-Bridge. Upvote 0

Sorry, i'm afraid that is not it, but it is good to know it can be done, lol. guess we just have to drag it out from app list to home screen for a few hundreds of them, lol. Upvote 0

I IsItPossible New Member Licensed User Longtime User Jun 18, 2014 #10 Not sure if I follow this correctly! Is it possible to install application shortcut once the user downloads the app from google play store on home screen! I did check other posts and it appears that we have to click on the app to create shortcut but is there a way to create shortcut during application install? Upvote 0

Erel B4X founder Staff member Licensed User Longtime User Jun 18, 2014 #11 No. You can only add a shortcut when your app first runs. Upvote 0
I IsItPossible New Member Licensed User Longtime User Jun 18, 2014 #12 Does it mean the functionality is not available from B4A as I have seen apps creating shortcut right after they get installed from the google store. Upvote 0

Erel B4X founder Staff member Licensed User Longtime User Jun 18, 2014 #13 It is not related to B4A. Google Play adds shortcuts automatically based on the user settings. Your app code doesn't run automatically after installation. So you will need to wait for the user to click on it once. Upvote 0
