Android Version

Hi, I would like to know if it possible to work for this script also on Android 
devices.

We've talked about adding Android support in the past, but the reason we've 
decided against it so far is that it requires several more steps to create a 
home screen bookmark on current versions of Android -- more than we could 
reasonably fit into a small pop-up bubble. We'll consider adding Android 
support if the browser changes to make creating home screen bookmarks easier. 
Alternately, if you'd like to write up some text that we could put in the 
bubble for Android, we'll consider patching that in. :)

thanks for the reply, but I'm not able to write this code. If I could help you 
I'll do it.

Oh, sorry, I didn't mean you would need to write the code. You would just need 
to decide what it should say inside the bubble. Updating the code is easy once 
we've decided what text to put in there.

the text may be this "Save this app on your phone" or something like this.

We need to provide instructions to the user on _how_ to create the home screen 
bookmark, though, just as we currently do for iOS.

I guess you should add this as a text:

English :
-------------------------------------
A shortcut on your home?
- Create a bookmark
- Long press the bookmark
- Select "Add shortcut to home"
-------------------------------------

French :
-------------------------------------
Un raccourci sur l'accueil ?
- Créez un favoris
- Cliquez dessus longuement
- Cliquez sur "Raccourci (page d'accueil)"

It's a webkit, like Safari mobile : should be pretty similar to the current 
code. You can try it on google chrome(quick but can't be 100% of the result) or 
on an android emulator (better, but slower) if you don't have an Android device

Here's some instructions:

On an Android device (like a HTC phone, or Samsung Galaxy, Dell Streak tablet, 
etc), it’s a two-step process:

    • Bookmark the book in the browser by tapping the ✩ icon to the right of the address bar, then tapping ‘Add…’
    • After adding the bookmark, long-press it and tap ‘Add shortcut to Home’ on the menu that shortly appears.

See attached. You can edit the text it will display to Androids by editing the 
text on lines 571/572

This is interesting. This is my first time to use this code repository system 
(Google code?) so forgive my ignorance about basic things.

First, it did work. Both on my iPhone 4 and Android. But a few questions if it 
is ok (is this the right place to ask?)

1. On the iPhone, the first time it ran, the size of everything was blown up to 
about twice the normal size. It's hard to test a "first time" again, so I was 
wondering if this is normal behavior.

2 Next to the instruction (e.g. Install this web all on your phone) there is a 
white rounded-edge square with nothing in it. Is there supposed to be something 
in it? If so, what? The apple-touch-icon itself is there and gets correctly 
saved as the icon on the screen, but doesn't appear in that white square. Is it 
supposed to?

3. On the Android it also works, but the same rounded-edge white square is 
there. Plus, the quote bubble quote tail seems to inappropriately be at the 
bottom of the mobile browser screen. It seems on the Android maybe the quote 
tail isn't needed?

4. I can't get it to work again on the Android, even after deleting the home 
screen icon and all the bookmarks. Any ideas about that?

I'm using this with Jquery Mobile by the way.

Thanks,

doug

How to dynamically show the android native menu items("Add shortcut to home") 
while displaying the bookmark bubble.
