Add Android app as favorite by default

[llaske]

It's possible to add an Android app as favorite so it could appear in the Sugarizer home view activity circle. But it's possible only when the user is connected by clicking on favorite icon in the Sugarizer activity list view.

Is there a way to define an Android app as favorite by default (in activities.json file)? So it could appear by default in the Sugarizer home view for all users.

It's possible starting in Sugarizer commit https://github.com/llaske/sugarizer/commit/a7f4dbd18733c6c2bff6acf500ff3f39d5cd7e62.

To do that, add a new line in activities.json like explain here. But because it's not a Sugarizer activities, you should:

• Set the id property to the internal id of the Android app,
• Set the name property to the name you want to display for the activity (could be different from the real one),
• Set the version property to the app version (not a prerequisite but better to identify the app version),
• Set the icon property to value /data/user/0/org.olpc_france.sugarizeros/cache/<id>.png where <id> is the value of id property
• Remove directory property.

At end, you should have something like that:

{"id": "com.android.chrome", "name": "Chrome", "version": "83.0.4103.106", "type":"native", "icon": "/data/user/0/org.olpc_france.sugarizeros/cache/com.android.chrome.png", "favorite": true, "activityId": null},
