Android Quick Shortcuts [passing Intent Extra(or Some Data) In Shortcuts.xml ]

While implementing the static Shortcuts using shortcut.xml, i would like to pass few bundle extras with my intent. need the passed extras to decide on few functionality in the targ

Solution 1:

I'm not sure if there is another way, but I use this:

<intentandroid:action="android.intent.action.VIEW"android:targetPackage="target.package"android:targetClass="activity.with.package"><extraandroid:name="extraID"android:value="extravalue" /></intent>

Then you can access extras as usual.

Solution 2:

Than why don't you create dynamic shortcuts?

ShortcutManagershortcutManager= getSystemService(ShortcutManager.class);

IntentthirdIntent=newIntent(this,ThirdActivity.class);
thirdIntent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);

ShortcutInfothirdScreenShortcut=newShortcutInfo.Builder(this, "shortcut_third")
        .setShortLabel("Third Activity")
        .setLongLabel("This is long description for Third Activity")
        .setIcon(Icon.createWithResource(this, R.mipmap.ic_launcher))
        .setIntent(thirdIntent)
        .build();
shortcutManager.setDynamicShortcuts(Collections.singletonList(thirdScreenShortcut));

You can pass whatever you want to send in Intent and access it to receiver activity.
