Shortcut

You can add your shortcut for the Home application. The Tizen Shortcut API requires the http://tizen.org/privilege/shortcut privilege.

This feature is supported in mobile applications only.

To add a shortcut, use the shortcut_add_to_home() function, which requests the Home application to add a new shortcut.

Figure: Shortcuts

There are two types of shortcuts:

• LAUNCH_BY_APP: Creates a shortcut to launch an application by a given application ID.
• LAUNCH_BY_URI: Creates a shortcut to launch an application by a given URI. The URI is passed to app_control_set_uri. For example, if you want to create a shortcut to open an image file, set the uri with file:///home/myhome/Photos/1_photo.jpg.
