[Q] How to create shortcuts to any Android app? - General Questions and Answers

Hello,
1. Can we launch Android apps with a command line like in the MsDOS terminal Windows: "notepad.exe" ?
1.a If yes, can we use parameters like: "notepad.exe memo.txt" ?
2. What is the language to use in a terminal emulator Android apps, is it Linux?
My goal is to create shortcuts (icon on a screen) launching a direct-call for apps like: Viber, MobileVOIP.
An icon shortcut like: "viber.apk -call +41791234567" to call this number with Viber.
How to do this? Is there an app that can create those kind of shortcut?
3. Is .APK the extention of executable file in Android SmartPhone?
3.a Can we launch a standalone executable app on Android , without installing it?
Thanks in advance and regards.

Android is a Linux operating system. If you are unaware of this search through Google. There are lot of things you need to know before coming into your other questions. Also emulator in android is just the same as Linux command prompt and uses Shell Scripting. You can have scripts that can be run through Script manager apps. I am not that familiar with scripting. Search through Google or forum. you will find your answer.
Also if you find any solution to your problem. Please share.. Myself and others can make use of that. All the best. :good::good:

[Q] android sdk noobie question

Hi folks,
First time poster.
Just have some basic questions.
1. After running adb shell and closing the terminal, adb.exe is left running in task manager in windows. Is it best practice to kill it before closing the terminal?
2. I ran sdk setup.exe and it installed/updated some stuff but I don't see any
entries in add/remove programs. What is the best way to uninstall the sdk?
3. Does the updates install only inside the sdk folder contents since I don't see any traces of the sdk anywhere else?
Thanks for your help.

1) It shouldn't matter. If you start adb again, it will start the service.
2) As far as I can tell, the sdk is all contained in one folder. Just delete the whole thing to 'uninstall' it.
3) Yes. Unless I'm missing something.
Thanks for the tip.

[Q] What is the built-in scripting language in Android SmartPhone ?

Hello,
For Android OS, what is the equivalent of MsDOS script for MS Windows?
In other words, what is the built-in scripting language on Android ?
I'm looking for a script language working on any Android (4.x) not rooted smartphone, without any extra apps (Busybox, Ruboto, ...). If possible a script language that I can launch from the pre-installed file manager on the smartphone, like the one in TouchWiz.
I'd like to write a script to:
- copy/duplicate some files to a folder
- zip/archive this entire folder
- send this archive to a FTP server
I want to launch this script on Android SmartPhone (no rooted) of my friends to backup some app's settings
Thanks in advance and regards.

[Completed] Integrate Android emulator to App for .exe

Hello!
I wanted to ask if it is possible to integrate an Emulator in an apk file or an App to make a .exe file.
Like Bluestacks for example. I don't want to run the app through the emulator, i want that the Emulator is build in the EXE file.
It must be possible, but how? If BlueStacks can almost emulate any App, it must be possible to build the emulator directly into the .exe file.
Hi
It is not possible . Bluestacks is a runtime which enables you to run android apps. Similar to JVM.
Please post in General Section if you want to engage in a discussion with others

Good day !
