Shortbread
Android library that generates app shortcuts for activities and methods annotated with @Shortcut
.
No need to touch the manifest, create XML files or use the shortcut manager. Just annotate the code that
you want the shortcut to call.
[Sample](sample.png)
The four shortcuts above are produced by the following code:
@Shortcut(id = "movies", icon = R.drawable.ic_shortcut_movies, shortLabel = "Movies")
public class MoviesActivity extends Activity {
// ...
@Shortcut(id = "add_movie", icon = R.drawable.ic_shortcut_add, shortLabel = "Add movie")
public void addMovie() {
// code to add movie, could show an AddMovieDialogFragment for example
}
}
@Shortcut(id = "books", icon = R.drawable.ic_shortcut_books, shortLabel = "Books")
public class BooksActivity extends Activity {
// ...
@Shortcut(id = "favorite_books", icon = R.drawable.ic_shortcut_favorite, shortLabel = "Favorite books")
public void showFavoriteBooks() {
// code to display favorite books, could show a FavoriteBooksFragment for example
}
}
To display the shortcuts, call Shortbread.create(Context context)
as early as possible in the app, for
example in onCreate
of a custom Application
.
public class App extends Application {
@Override
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
Shortbread.create(this);
}
}
Shortcuts can be customized with attributes, just like using the framework API.
@Shortcut(
id = "books",
icon = R.drawable.ic_shortcut_books,
shortLabel = "Books",
shortLabelRes = R.string.shortcut_books_short_label,
longLabel = "List of books",
longLabelRes = R.string.shortcut_books_long_label,
rank = 2, // order in list, relative to other shortcuts
disabledMessage = "No books are available",
disabledMessageRes = R.string.shortcut_books_disabled_message,
enabled = true, // default
backStack = {MainActivity.class, LibraryActivity.class},
activity = MainActivity.class, // the launcher activity to which the shortcut should be attached
action = "shortcut_books" // intent action to identify the shortcut from the launched activity
)
public class BooksActivity extends Activity { /*...*/ }
