How to put the icon on the home screen when installing

Post by Peacfulrvr »

I have managed to create and install an apk for my game but am wondering how to have it install the icon on the home screen. I would like to be able to click the icon without searching through the pages of my launcher screen ... save some time and annoyance.

Thanks in advance for any help

I don't know of any apps that can do that except for launcher apps and Google Play store, where it's a user preference. If you will be releasing your app in the Play Store then Google will do it for you.

It was here when I logged in this morning. But no problem, seems to be gone now.
