(1)      Launcher的定义:Android系统启动后,加载的第一个程序,是其他应用程序的入口。

(2)      Launcher的构成:HomeScreen(1.workspace(AppWidget,Wallpaper,Livefolder,ShortCut),2.HotSeats,3.AllApps/allApplist:GridView)

Android Launcher 详解-LMLPHP

(3)      针对Launcher的开发类型:

1.      开发自定义的Launcher

2.      与Workspace相关的开发(AppWidget,Wallpaper,Livefolder,ShortCut)

(4)      解读Launcher源代码(以ShortCut为例),Launcher为系统级应用,位于Applications层。源代码位于MyAndroid\packages\apps\Launcher2中,可讲它导入eclipse中。

(5)      看Manifest文件可知,Launcher的主Activity为:com.android.launcher2.Launcher。下面是它的部分配置信息:

<activity
android:name="com.android.launcher2.Launcher"
android:launchMode="singleTask">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.HOME" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.MONKEY"/>
</intent-filter>
</activity>

(6)      关于Activity的四种加载模式(android:launchMode):在多Activity开发中,有可能是自己应用之间的Activity跳转,或者夹带其他应用的可复用Activity。有可能会希望跳转到原来某个Activity实例,而不是产生大量重复的Activity。这就需要为Activity配置特定的加载模式,而不是默认的加载模式。

(7)      当用户按菜单键中的添加按钮或者长按workspace中的空白区域,会弹出一个对话框(如下图所示):

(8)      如何让你的应用支持创建Shortcut,即你的应用能够出现在快捷方式列表中。

//  单独创建一个Activity,例如ShortCut.java
// 配置此Activity
<activity
android:name=".ShortCut">
<intent-filter>
<actionandroid:name="android.intent.action.CREATE_SHORTCUT"/>
</intent-filter>
</activity>
// 以下是它的代码,这个startActivityForResultSafely(intent, //REQUEST_CREATE_SHORTCUT)方法会跳到这个Activity
publicclassShortCutextends Activity { @Override
protectedvoidonCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
if(getIntent().getAction().equals(Intent.ACTION_CREATE_SHORTCUT)) {
Intent returnIntent = new Intent();
returnIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SHORTCUT_NAME, "应用管理器");
returnIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SHORTCUT_INTENT, new Intent(this, ShowAppActivity.class));
/* returnIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SHORTCUT_ICON_RESOURCE,
Intent.ShortcutIconResource.fromContext(this, R.drawable.icon)); */
returnIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SHORTCUT_ICON, R.drawable.icon);
setResult(RESULT_OK, returnIntent);
finish();
}
} }

(9)      如何在用户第一次启动应用后,提示用户是否要创建Shortcut:现在Manifest文件中添加一个权限(<permission android:name="com.android.launcher.permission.INSTALL_SHORTCUT"></permission>)只要向Launcher发送一个广播,数据为一个Intent。此Intent与上面代码中的returnIntent类似,只要这个Intent添加一个Action(

intent.setAction("com.android.launcher.action.INSTALL_SHORTCUT"))。然后sendBroadcast(intent)。在Launcher中有个InstallShortcutReceiver.java,接受这个广播。
