A small Java library for Android that simplifies creating, checking, updating, and removing home screen shortcuts while handling OEM/ROM launcher quirks. It also supports toggling the visibility of the app's launcher entry.
Use cases
- add home screen shortcuts programmatically on android
- check if an app shortcut already exists on the launcher
- update a shortcut icon without duplicating shortcuts
- create shortcuts for other apps by package name
- hide or show the app launcher icon
- remove shortcuts from the home screen
When to choose
- you need to manage home screen shortcuts on Android with fewer ROM-specific headaches
- you want a simple static API for shortcut add/remove/update operations
- you need to toggle launcher entry visibility
When to avoid
- you target modern Android (8.0+) and should use the official ShortcutManager / shortcuts API instead
- you need guaranteed shortcut icon updates - many devices require system permissions
- you need an actively maintained library with a license
