Android Question shortcut for activity ?

[bixmatech]

Hi ...
I've an app that contains many apps in it (timer , camera, sound player ....) every one a in separated activity, and the main activity contains the list of all the apps.

my question is :
can I make a shortcut on home screen to each one of these apps (activities)?

Example: shortcut for the "Timer app" ... so the user doesn't have to open the main app and press on the Timer app to open it ?

Thank you ...

Note that it needs a Device with Android 7.1+ (Api 25)

Thanks for the reply

Actually I tried this code (same I think)
https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/t...-directly-from-within-your-application.17559/

But its worked just on the main activity and just first time.
if I CLEAR DATA will make a shortcut again , but will work just if it the Main Activity, if any other, will ask me to chose an app to "Open With"

Are there any other solution to work on all android versions specially 6.0

This method should work with all versions of android.

is based on this Feature

It creates ONE Shortcut but with a popup to select.
