High-grade shortcuts with icons

I am trying to create a desktop shortcut programmatically on Android. So far I have managed to add a shortcut with the following code:

Intent shortcutIntent = new Intent(); shortcutIntent.setClassName(mContext, mContext.getClass().getName()); shortcutIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK); shortcutIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP); shortcutIntent.putExtra("someParameter", "HelloWorld 123"); Intent addIntent = new Intent(); addIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SHORTCUT_INTENT, shortcutIntent); addIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SHORTCUT_NAME, "Shortcut Name 123"); addIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SHORTCUT_ICON_RESOURCE, R.drawable.icon); addIntent.setAction("com.android.launcher.action.INSTALL_SHORTCUT"); mContext.sendBroadcast(addIntent);

But the shortcut is set using the default icon in my resources. However, I would like to receive icons from my site and add the icon to the shortcut. First, I need to download this shortcut. Under the assumption that I did this and the icon on the SD card, for example, I was unable to set the shortcut.

The following code:

 try { Uri contentURI = Uri.parse("http://mnt/sdcard/mytest/test.png"); ContentResolver cr = mContext.getContentResolver(); InputStream in; in = cr.openInputStream(contentURI); BitmapFactory.Options options = new BitmapFactory.Options(); options.inSampleSize=8; Bitmap thumb = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(in,null,options); Intent shortcutIntent = new Intent(); shortcutIntent.setClassName(mContext, mContext.getClass().getName()); shortcutIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK); shortcutIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP); shortcutIntent.putExtra("someParameter", "HelloWorld 123"); Intent addIntent = new Intent(); addIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SHORTCUT_INTENT, shortcutIntent); addIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SHORTCUT_NAME, "Shortcut Name 123"); addIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SHORTCUT_ICON_RESOURCE, thumb); addIntent.setAction("com.android.launcher.action.INSTALL_SHORTCUT"); mContext.sendBroadcast(addIntent); } catch (FileNotFoundException e) { e.printStackTrace(); }

The file definitely exists, and I checked that using the adb shell ... This piece of code shows the following error:

 10-13 16:11:31.184: WARN/System.err(23273): java.io.FileNotFoundException: No content provider: /mnt/sdcard/mytest/test.png

What am I doing wrong?

thanks

You are trying to get a bitmap from local resources (using a content provider).

To download Bitmap from the server, you must follow this:

Why is this bitmap not loading on Android?

It looks like your application cannot access test.png. Make sure it exists. Perhaps you can start with local storage and not with an SD card.
