[android-developers] Creating shortcuts to other Apps at a specified position on Home Screen

2011-12-19 Thread Eric
Hi all,

I'm developing an App that creates shortcuts to other Apps on Home
Screen, by using Intents and CREATE_SHORTCUT, etc etc. It works fine,
but I have no control over where the shortcuts are placed. Is there
any way to do that?

If specifying an exact position is impossible, how about specifying
the page number? (for example, on the 2nd page on a 5-page device)

Thanks.

Regards,
Eric

No. For all you know, the home screen does not even have a concept of
a shortcut, or one that would have a position.

 the page number? (for example, on the 2nd page on a 5-page device)

No.
