Youbiquo Launcher

Introduction

Youbiquo Launcher is a custom launcher that can be used by the user to easily access to the applications installed on the device. The name and the icon to be displayed will be automatically obtained from the application.

Implementation

In order to have your Android application visible on the Youbiquo Launcher, implement the following line

<category android:name=“YOUBIQUO_LAUNCHER_SUPPORTED” />

inside the main activity in your Android Manifest.

<manifest >
         <application >
                <activity >
                        <intent-filter>
                               
                                <category android:name=“YOUBIQUO_LAUNCHER_SUPPORTED” />
                                ….
                        </intent-filter>
                </activity>
         </application>
</manifest>
