2 weeks ago If anyone has the same problem, I couldn't find a solution, but I found a workaround. Unfortunately it requires root.
The command that needs to be run is su -c "am start --user 10 -n your.app.package.name/.your.app.acitivity".
Example for SwiftBackup app: su -c "am start --user 10 -n org.swiftapps.swiftbackup/.intro.IntroActivity".
There should be a way to do that without root, because Island itself does not require root to launch an app (but launching an app as another user does), but nothing I tried worked.
The command that should be working is:
am start -a com.oasisfeng.island.action.LAUNCH_APP -d "app://10@org.swiftapps.swiftbackup" -n com.oasisfeng.island/.shortcut.IslandAppShortcut$ShortcutLauncher
but the $ in the activity name gets stripped from the command for some reason.
If anyone has an idea how to make the non-root command work, please share.
Hi, I wanted to create a home screen shortcut to easy launch a particular app on an island, but for some reason the shortcut does not work with the launcher app I am using (Lightning Launcher). I'm getting the message 'shortcut disabled'. When I'm trying to add a shortcut manually from the launcher, the Island app is not among the shortcuts list. I tried to work this around by creating a macro to run the shortcut in Macrodroid, and then run that macro from the launcher icon, but I'm unable to create the macro either (same as before, the Island app is not on the shortcuts list). The launcher app can run a script by an icon, so I tried to create a script to run the app, but I failed too. I searched in the internet on how to run an app from a shell script, and I can run the Island app by calling "am start -n com.oasisfeng.island/.MainActivity", but I could not find a way to run specific app from an island this way. Can anyone help me please?
