1. Introduction to favorites on the desktop

The launcher desktop has four elements in the middle, which are the window widgets of a clock. The following lines are respectively a camera, an Amazon bookmarks, and a folder (the folder contains settings and clock ).

In the code, they are all favorites: appwidget, application, shortcut, and folder.

Favorites is stored in the database.

4. Add the default favorites to the desktop

The default favorite on launcher is defined in launcher2 \ res \ XML \ default_workspace.xml. (Launcher2 \ res \ xml-sw600dp \ default_workspace.xml, launcher2 \ res \ xml-sw720dp \ default_workspace.xml)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><favorites xmlns:launcher="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/com.android.launcher" >    <appwidget        launcher:className="com.android.alarmclock.AnalogAppWidgetProvider"        launcher:packageName="com.android.deskclock"        launcher:screen="4"        launcher:spanX="2"        launcher:spanY="2"        launcher:x="2"        launcher:y="0" />    <favorite        launcher:className="com.android.camera.CameraLauncher"        launcher:packageName="com.android.gallery3d"        launcher:screen="4"        launcher:x="1"        launcher:y="3" />    <shortcut        launcher:icon="@drawable/ic_home_voice_search_holo"        launcher:screen="4"        launcher:title="@string/application_name"        launcher:uri="https://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html?ie=UTF8&amp;docId=1000626391"        launcher:x="2"        launcher:y="3" />    <folder        launcher:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher_home"        launcher:screen="4"        launcher:title="@string/folder_name_format"        launcher:x="3"        launcher:y="3" >        <favorite            launcher:className="com.android.settings.Settings"            launcher:packageName="com.android.settings" />        <favorite            launcher:className="com.android.deskclock.DeskClock"            launcher:packageName="com.android.deskclock" />    </folder>    <!-- Hotseat (We use the screen as the position of the item in the hotseat) -->    <favorite        launcher:className="com.android.browser.BrowserActivity"        launcher:container="-101"        launcher:packageName="com.android.browser"        launcher:screen="4"        launcher:x="4"        launcher:y="0" /></favorites>

5. Tool attachment and introduction

I wrote a program to help generate default_workspace.xml. Unfortunately, the program does not support shortcut and folder.

Replace packages \ apps \ launcher2 \ res \ xml-sw720dp \ default_workspace.xml.
