I have decided to look at adding static shortcuts into an application, using this page as reference:
https://developer.android.com/preview/shortcuts.html
The XML for my shortcuts currently looks like so:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shortcuts xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<shortcut
android:shortcutId="id"
android:enabled="true"
android:icon="@drawable/icon"
android:shortcutShortLabel="@string/short_label"
android:shortcutLongLabel="@string/long_label"
android:shortcutDisabledMessage="@string/disabled_message">
<intent
android:action="android.intent.action.VIEW"
android:targetPackage="com.example"
android:targetClass="com.example.Activity" />
<categories android:name="android.shortcut.category" />
</shortcut>
</shortcuts>
The issue comes from the targetClass
variable as I cannot find a way to launch a Fragment
rather than an Activity
. Most of the main pages I would want to launch from the shortcuts are Fragments
displayed within an Activity
. How can I get the intent
to launch straight to a Fragment
instead?
