For example, a pinned shortcut + * to a group chat will be unusable when the group chat room is deleted. In cases like this, + * applications should use {@link #disableShortcuts(List)}, which will remove the specified dynamic + * shortcuts and also make the pinned shortcuts un-launchable, if any. + * {@link #disableShortcuts(List, CharSequence)} can also be used to disable shortcuts with + * a custom error message that will be shown when the user starts the shortcut. + * + * <h4>Disabling Manifest Shortcuts</h4> + * When an application is upgraded and the new version no longer has a manifest shortcut that + * the previous version had, this shortcut will no longer be published as a manifest shortcut. + * + * <p>If the shortcut is pinned, then the pinned shortcut will remain on the launcher, but will be + * disabled. Note in this case, the pinned shortcut is no longer a manifest shortcut, but is + * still <b>immutable</b> and cannot be updated with the {@link ShortcutManager} APIs. + * + * + * <h3>Publishing Dynamic Shortcuts</h3> + * + * Applications can publish dynamic shortcuts with {@link #setDynamicShortcuts(List)} + * or {@link #addDynamicShortcuts(List)}. {@link #updateShortcuts(List)} can also be used to + * update existing (mutable) shortcuts. + * Use {@link #removeDynamicShortcuts(List)} or {@link #removeAllDynamicShortcuts()} to remove + * dynamic shortcuts. + * + * <p>Example: + * <pre> + * ShortcutManager shortcutManager = getSystemService(ShortcutManager.class); + * + * ShortcutInfo shortcut = new ShortcutInfo.Builder(this, "id1") + * .setIntent(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("http://www.mysite.com/"))) + * .setShortLabel("Web site") + * .setLongLabel("Open the web site") + * .setIcon(Icon.createWithResource(context, R.drawable.icon_website)) + * .build(); * - * <p>The shortcuts that are currently published by the above APIs are called "dynamic", because - * they can be removed by the creator application at any time.

Note this may include a - * pinned shortcut. + * In order to add manifest shortcuts to your application, first add + * {@code <meta-data android:name="android.app.shortcuts" />} to your main activity in + * AndroidManifest.xml. + * <pre> + * <manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" + * package="com.example.myapplication"> + * <application . . .> + * <activity android:name="Main"> + * <intent-filter> + * <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" /> + * <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" /> + * </intent-filter> + * <b><meta-data android:name="android.app.shortcuts" android:resource="@xml/shortcuts"/></b> + * </activity> + * </application> + * </manifest> + * </pre> + * + * Then define shortcuts in res/xml/shortcuts.xml. + * <pre> + * <shortcuts xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" > + * <shortcut + * android:shortcutId="compose" + * android:enabled="true" + * android:icon="@drawable/compose_icon" + * android:shortcutShortLabel="@string/compose_shortcut_short_label1" + * android:shortcutLongLabel="@string/compose_shortcut_short_label1" + * android:shortcutDisabledMessage="@string/compose_disabled_message1" + * > + * <intent + * android:action="android.intent.action.VIEW" + * android:targetPackage="com.example.myapplication" + * android:targetClass="com.example.myapplication.ComposeActivity" /> + * <categories android:name="android.shortcut.conversation" /> + * </shortcut> + * <!-- more shortcut can go here --> + * </shortcuts> + * </pre> + * <ul> + * <li>{@code android:shortcutId} Mandatory shortcut ID + * + * <li>{@code android:enabled} Default is {@code true}. Can be set to {@code false} in order + * to disable a manifest shortcut that was published on a previous version with a custom + * disabled message. If a custom disabled message is not needed, then a manifest shortcut can + * be simply removed from the xml file rather than keeping it with {@code enabled="false"}. + * + * <li>{@code android:icon} Shortcut icon. + * + * <li>{@code android:shortcutShortLabel} Mandatory shortcut short label. + * See {@link ShortcutInfo.Builder#setShortLabel(CharSequence)} + * + * <li>{@code android:shortcutLongLabel} Shortcut long label. + * See {@link ShortcutInfo.Builder#setLongLabel(CharSequence)} + * + * <li>{@code android:shortcutDisabledMessage} When {@code android:enabled} is set to + * {@code false}, this can be used to set a custom disabled message. + * + * <li>{@code intent} Intent to launch. {@code android:action} is mandatory. + * See <a href="{@docRoot}guide/topics/ui/settings.html#Intents">Using intents</a> for the + * other supported tags. + * </ul> + * + * <h3>Updating Shortcuts v.s. Re-publishing New One with Different ID</h3> + * In order to avoid users' confusion, {@link #updateShortcuts(List)} should not be used to update + * a shortcut to something that is conceptually different. + * + * <p>For example, a phone application may publish the most frequently called contact as a dynamic + * shortcut. Over the time, this contact may change, but when it changes the application should + * publish a new contact with a different ID with either + * {@link #setDynamicShortcuts(List)} or {@link #addDynamicShortcuts(List)}, rather than updating + * the existing shortcut with {@link #updateShortcuts(List)}. + * + * This is because when the shortcut is pinned, changing it to a different contact + * will likely confuse the user. + * + * <p>On the other hand, when the contact's information (e.g. the name or picture) has changed, + * then the application should use {@link #updateShortcuts(List)} so that the pinned shortcut + * will be updated too. + * + * + * <h3>Shortcut Display Order</h3> + * When the launcher show the shortcuts for a launcher icon, the showing order should be the + * following: + * <ul> + * <li>First show manifest shortcuts + * ({@link ShortcutInfo#isDeclaredInManifest()} is {@code true}), + * and then dynamic shortcuts ({@link ShortcutInfo#isDynamic()} is {@code true}). + * <li>Within each category, sort by {@link ShortcutInfo#getRank()}. + * </ul> + * <p>Shortcut ranks are non-negative sequential integers for each target activity. Ranks of + * existing shortcuts can be updated with + * {@link #updateShortcuts(List)} ({@link #addDynamicShortcuts(List)} and + * {@link #setDynamicShortcuts(List)} may be used too). + * + * <p>Ranks will be auto-adjusted so that they're unique for each target activity for each category + * (dynamic or manifest). For example, if there are 3 dynamic shortcuts with ranks 0, 1 and 2, + * adding another dynamic shortcut with rank = 1 means to place this shortcut at the second + * position. The third and forth shortcuts (that were originally second and third) will be adjusted + * to 2 and 3 respectively. + * + * <h3>Rate Limiting</h3> + * + * Calls to {@link #setDynamicShortcuts(List)}, {@link #addDynamicShortcuts(List)} and + * {@link #updateShortcuts(List)} may be rate-limited when called by background applications (i.e. + * applications with no foreground activity or service). When rate-limited, these APIs will return + * {@code false}. + * + * <p>Applications with a foreground activity or service will not be rate-limited. + * + * <p>Rate-limiting will be reset upon certain events, so that even background applications + * will be able to call these APIs again (until they are rate-limited again). + * <ul> + * <li>When an application comes to foreground. + * <li>When the system locale changes. + * <li>When the user performs "inline reply" on a notification. + * </ul> + * + * <h4>Resetting rate-limiting for testing</h4> + * + * If your application is rate-limited during development or testing, you can use the + * "Reset ShortcutManager rate-limiting" development option, or the following adb command to reset + * it. + * <pre> + * adb shell cmd shortcut reset-throttling [ --user USER-ID ] + * </pre> + * + * <h3>Handling System Locale Change</h3> + * + * Applications should update dynamic and pinned shortcuts when the system locale changes + * using the {@link Intent#ACTION_LOCALE_CHANGED} broadcast. + * + * <p>When the system locale changes, rate-limiting will be reset, so even background applications + * what were previously rate-limited will be able to call {@link #updateShortcuts(List)}. * * * <h3>Backup and Restore</h3> * - * Pinned shortcuts will be backed up and restored across devices. This means all information - * within shortcuts, including IDs, must be meaningful on different devices. + * When an application has {@code android:allowBackup="true"} in its AndroidManifest.xml, pinned + * shortcuts will be backed up automatically and restored when the user sets up a new device. + * + * <h4>What will be backed up and what will not be backed up</h4> * - * <p>Note that: * <ul> - * <li>Dynamic shortcuts will not be backed up or restored. - * <li>Icons of pinned shortcuts will <b>not</b> be backed up for performance reasons, unless - * they refer to resources. Instead, launcher applications are supposed to back up and restore - * icons of pinned shortcuts by themselves, and thus from the user's point of view, pinned - * shortcuts will look to have icons restored. + * <li>Pinned shortcuts will be backed up. Bitmap icons will not be backed up by the system, + * but launcher applications should back them up and restore them, so the user will still get + * icons for pinned shortcuts on the launcher. Applications can always use + * {@link #updateShortcuts(List)} to re-publish icons. + * + * <li>Manifest shortcuts will not be backed up, but when an application is re-installed on a new + * device, they will be re-published from AndroidManifest.xml anyway. + * + * <li>Dynamic shortcuts will <b>not</b> be backed up. * </ul> * + * <p>Because dynamic shortcuts will not restored, it is recommended that applications check + * currently published dynamic shortcuts with {@link #getDynamicShortcuts()} when they start, + * and re-publish dynamic shortcuts when necessary. + * + * <pre> + * public class MainActivity extends Activity { + * public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { + * super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); + * + * ShortcutManager shortcutManager = getSystemService(ShortcutManager.class); + * + * if (shortcutManager.getDynamicShortcuts().size() == 0) { + * // Application restored; re-publish dynamic shortcuts. + * + * if (shortcutManager.getPinnedShortcuts().size() > 0) { + * // Pinned shortcuts have been restored. use updateShortcuts() to make sure + * // they have up-to-date information. + * } + * } + * } + * : + * + * } + * </pre> * - * <h3>APIs for launcher</h3> * - * Launcher applications should use {@link LauncherApps} to get shortcuts that are published from - * applications. Launcher applications can also pin shortcuts with - * {@link LauncherApps#pinShortcuts(String, List, UserHandle)}. + * <h4>Backup/restore and shortcut IDs</h4> + * + * Because pinned shortcuts will be backed up and restored on new devices, shortcut IDs should be + * meaningful across devices; that is, IDs should be either stable constant strings, or server-side + * identifiers, rather than identifiers generated locally that may not make sense on other devices. + * + * + * <h3>Report Shortcut Usage and Prediction</h3> + * + * Launcher applications may be capable of predicting which shortcuts will most likely be used at + * the moment with the shortcut usage history data. + * + * <p>In order to provide launchers with such data, publisher applications should report which + * shortcut is used with {@link #reportShortcutUsed(String)} when a shortcut is started, + * <b>or when an action equivalent to a shortcut is taken by the user even if it wasn't started + * with the shortcut</b>. + * + * <p>For example, suppose a GPS navigation application exposes "navigate to work" as a shortcut. + * Then it should report it when the user starts this shortcut, and also when the user navigates + * to work within the application without using the shortcut. This helps the launcher application + * learn that the user wants to navigate to work at a certain time every weekday, so that the + * launcher can show this shortcut in a suggestion list. + * + * <h3>Launcher API</h3> + * + * {@link LauncherApps} provides APIs for launcher applications to access shortcuts. */ public class ShortcutManager { private static final String TAG = "ShortcutManager"; @@ -110,14 +382,15 @@ public class ShortcutManager { /** * Publish a list of shortcuts.
