How to get the list of all installed shortcuts found in the homescreen Launcher in android

Question

I wanted to get the list of all installed shortcuts in the homescreen launcher programmatically. I have found lots of snippets online but none of them provides the right output<

Answer 1

My answer may be late, but it might be useful for others.

Check my code:

if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT <8) 
{ 
url = "content://com.android.launcher.settings/favorites?Notify=true"; 
} 
else 
{ 
url = "content://com.android.launcher2.settings/favorites?Notify=true"; 
} 

ContentResolver resolver = getContentResolver(); 
Cursor cursor = resolver.query (Uri.parse(url), null, null, null, null);
