/**
- * <b>TODO: Update to reflect DR changes, such as manifest shortcuts.</b><br>
+ * ShortcutManager manages "launcher shortcuts" (or simply "shortcuts"). Shortcuts provide user
+ * with quick
+ * ways to access activities other than the main activity from the launcher to users. For example,
+ * an email application may publish the "compose new email" action which will directly open the
+ * compose activity. The {@link ShortcutInfo} class represents shortcuts.
*
- * {@link ShortcutManager} manages shortcuts created by applications.
+ * <h3>Dynamic Shortcuts and Manifest Shortcuts</h3>
*
- * <h3>Dynamic shortcuts and pinned shortcuts</h3>
+ * There are two ways to publish shortcuts: manifest shortcuts and dynamic shortcuts.
*
- * An application can publish shortcuts with {@link #setDynamicShortcuts(List)} and
- * {@link #addDynamicShortcuts(List)}. There can be at most
- * {@link #getMaxShortcutCountPerActivity()} number of dynamic shortcuts at a time from the
- * same application.
- * A dynamic shortcut can be deleted with {@link #removeDynamicShortcuts(List)}, and apps
- * can also use {@link #removeAllDynamicShortcuts()} to delete all dynamic shortcuts.
+ * <ul>
+ * <li>Manifest shortcuts are declared in a resource XML which is referred to from
+ * AndroidManifest.xml. Manifest shortcuts are published when an application is installed,
+ * and are updated when an application is upgraded with an updated XML file.
+ * Manifest shortcuts are immutable and their
+ * definitions (e.g. icons and labels) can not be changed dynamically (without upgrading the
+ * publisher application).
+ *
+ * <li>Dynamic shortcuts are published at runtime with {@link ShortcutManager} APIs.
+ * Applications can publish, update and remove dynamic shortcuts at runtime with certain limitations
+ * described below.
+ * </ul>
+ *
+ * <p>Only "main" activities (i.e. activities that handle the {@code MAIN} action and the
+ * {@code LAUNCHER} category) can have shortcuts. If an application has multiple main activities,
+ * they will have different set of shortcuts.
+ *
+ * <p>Dynamic shortcuts and manifest shortcuts are shown by launcher applications when the user
+ * takes a certain action (e.g. long-press) on an application launcher icon.
+ *
+ * <p>Each launcher icon can have at most {@link #getMaxShortcutCountPerActivity()} number of
+ * dynamic and manifest shortcuts combined.
+ *
+ *
+ * <h3>Pinning Shortcuts</h3>
+ *
+ * Launcher applications allow users to "pin" shortcuts so they're easier to access. Both manifest
+ * and dynamic shortcuts can be pinned, to avoid user's confusion.
+ * Pinned shortcuts <b>cannot</b> be removed by publisher
+ * applications -- they are only removed when the publisher is uninstalled. (Or the user performs
+ * "clear data" on the publisher application on the Settings application.)
+ *
+ * <p>Publisher can however "disable" pinned shortcuts so they cannot be launched. See below
+ * for details.
+ *
+ *
+ * <h3>Updating and Disabling Shortcuts</h3>
+ *
+ * <p>When a dynamic shortcut is pinned, even when the publisher removes it as a dynamic shortcut,
+ * the pinned shortcut will still be available and launchable. This allows an application to have
+ * more than {@link #getMaxShortcutCountPerActivity()} number of shortcuts -- for example, suppose
+ * {@link #getMaxShortcutCountPerActivity()} is 5:
+ * <ul>
+ * <li>A chat application publishes 5 dynamic shortcuts for the 5 most recent
+ * conversations, "c1" - "c5".
+ *
+ * <li>The user pins all of the 5 shortcuts.
+ *
+ * <li>Later, the user has 3 newer conversations ("c6", "c7" and "c8"), so the application
+ * re-publishes dynamic shortcuts and now it has the dynamic shortcuts "c4", "c5", "c6", "c7"
+ * and "c8". The publisher has to remove "c1", "c2" and "c3" because it can't have more than
+ * 5 dynamic shortcuts.
+ *
+ * <li>However, even though "c1", "c2" and "c3" are no longer dynamic shortcuts, the pinned
+ * shortcuts for those conversations are still available and launchable.
+ *
+ * <li>At this point, the application has 8 shortcuts in total, including the 3 pinned
+ * shortcuts, even though it's allowed to have at most 5 dynamic shortcuts.
+ *
+ * <li>The application can use {@link #updateShortcuts(List)} to update any of the existing
+ * 8 shortcuts, when, for example, the chat peers' icons have changed.
+ * </ul>
+ * {@link #addDynamicShortcuts(List)} and {@link #setDynamicShortcuts(List)} can also be used
+ * to update existing shortcuts with the same IDs, but they <b>cannot</b> be used for
+ * non-dynamic pinned shortcuts because these two APIs will always try to make the passed
+ * shortcuts dynamic.
+ *
+ *
+ * <h4>Disabling Manifest Shortcuts</h4>
+ * Sometimes pinned shortcuts become obsolete and may not be usable. 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. The user may "pin" dynamic shortcuts
- * on Launcher to make "pinned" shortcuts. Pinned shortcuts <b>cannot</b> be removed by the creator
- * app. An application can obtain all pinned shortcuts from itself with
- * {@link #getPinnedShortcuts()}. Applications should keep the pinned shortcut information
- * up-to-date using {@link #updateShortcuts(List)}.
+ * shortcutManager.setDynamicShortcuts(Arrays.asList(shortcut));
+ * </pre>
*
- * <p>The number of pinned shortcuts does not affect the number of dynamic shortcuts that can be
- * published by an application at a time.
- * No matter how many pinned shortcuts that Launcher has for an application, the
- * application can still always publish {@link #getMaxShortcutCountPerActivity()} number of
- * dynamic
- * shortcuts.
*
- * <h3>Shortcut IDs</h3>
+ * <h3>Publishing Manifest Shortcuts</h3>
*
- * Each shortcut must have an ID, which must be unique within each application. When a shortcut is
- * published, existing shortcuts with the same ID will be updated. 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>
+ * &lt;manifest xmlns:android=&quot;http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android&quot;
+ * package=&quot;com.example.myapplication&quot;&gt;
+ * &lt;application . . .&gt;
+ * &lt;activity android:name=&quot;Main&quot;&gt;
+ * &lt;intent-filter&gt;
+ * &lt;action android:name=&quot;android.intent.action.MAIN&quot; /&gt;
+ * &lt;category android:name=&quot;android.intent.category.LAUNCHER&quot; /&gt;
+ * &lt;/intent-filter&gt;
+ * <b>&lt;meta-data android:name=&quot;android.app.shortcuts&quot; android:resource=&quot;@xml/shortcuts&quot;/&gt;</b>
+ * &lt;/activity&gt;
+ * &lt;/application&gt;
+ * &lt;/manifest&gt;
+ * </pre>
+ *
+ * Then define shortcuts in res/xml/shortcuts.xml.
+ * <pre>
+ * &lt;shortcuts xmlns:android=&quot;http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android&quot; &gt;
+ * &lt;shortcut
+ * android:shortcutId=&quot;compose&quot;
+ * android:enabled=&quot;true&quot;
+ * android:icon=&quot;@drawable/compose_icon&quot;
+ * android:shortcutShortLabel=&quot;@string/compose_shortcut_short_label1&quot;
+ * android:shortcutLongLabel=&quot;@string/compose_shortcut_short_label1&quot;
+ * android:shortcutDisabledMessage=&quot;@string/compose_disabled_message1&quot;
+ * &gt;
+ * &lt;intent
+ * android:action=&quot;android.intent.action.VIEW&quot;
+ * android:targetPackage=&quot;com.example.myapplication&quot;
+ * android:targetClass=&quot;com.example.myapplication.ComposeActivity&quot; /&gt;
+ * &lt;categories android:name=&quot;android.shortcut.conversation&quot; /&gt;
+ * &lt;/shortcut&gt;
+ * &lt;!-- more shortcut can go here --&gt;
+ * &lt;/shortcuts&gt;
+ * </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.
