LiveCode Forums.

Good morning together,

I am relative new in LiveCode.
I wrote a few small Apps for Android to be a little bit confident in LiveCode, but now I would like to develope my own Android Launcher for my phone and I would like to know if this is possible in LiveCode as well or do I have to use Android Studio or Eclipse with Java for it?

If it is possible, the next question is, if someone has an example for a launcher that I can set as a permanent launcher on my phone.

I know, there are a lot of launchers out in google play but I would like to have my own one.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Cheers
Frank

Launchers require things that would be difficult to do in LiveCode. It might be partly doable but I think it would be easier in Android's native Java. Android apps are limited to their own sandbox and I'm not sure you can even get a list of all the user's installed apps. Normally I'd use shell calls for that but those are restricted too.

I'd like to be wrong though.

Hi Jacque,

that is what I was afraid of.
Ok, so I have to learn a little bit more Java

Thanks for the quick response.
