A small Kotlin DSL for dynamic and pinned Android app shortcuts, built on `ShortcutManagerCompat`.

**[API documentation](https://mehdikhalifeh.github.io/Shortcut/)** ·
[Changelog](CHANGELOG.md) · [Contributing](CONTRIBUTING.md)

## Requirements

- **minSdk 23** (Android 6.0, required by current AndroidX). Dynamic shortcuts appear on API 25+, pinned shortcuts on API 26+ with a
  legacy-launcher fallback below that — the library handles the version checks internally via
  `ShortcutManagerCompat`, so no `Build.VERSION` checks are needed in your code.
- **AndroidX.** The library depends on `androidx.core`; apps still on the legacy support libraries must
  [migrate to AndroidX](https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/migrate) first.
- **Kotlin.** The 2.0 API is a Kotlin DSL designed for Kotlin callers.

## Building from source

The project builds with the Gradle wrapper (Gradle 9.6, AGP 9.3, built-in Kotlin) and needs JDK 17+
and an Android SDK with platform 36:

```
./gradlew build
```

## Add the dependency

The library is published on **Maven Central** as `io.github.mehdikhalifeh:shortcut-core`
(no extra repository configuration needed):

```kotlin
dependencies {
    implementation("io.github.mehdikhalifeh:shortcut-core:2.0.0")

// Optional Jetpack Compose bindings:
    implementation("io.github.mehdikhalifeh:shortcut-compose:2.0.0")
}
```

## Quick start

Everything happens inside `context.shortcuts { }`:

```kotlin
context.shortcuts {
    dynamic("compose_email") {
        shortLabel = "Compose"
        longLabel = "Compose a new email"
        icon = R.drawable.ic_compose
        rank = 1
        intent {
            action = Intent.ACTION_VIEW
            data = "myapp://compose".toUri()
            putExtra("source", "shortcut")
        }
    }
}
```

`dynamic` publishes the shortcut, or updates it in place when the id already exists
(`pushDynamicShortcut` under the hood, so the lowest-ranked shortcut is evicted automatically
when the launcher limit is reached).

### Intents

Each `intent { }` block supports the full `Intent` surface: `action` (defaults to
`Intent.ACTION_VIEW` — the system requires shortcut intents to carry an action), `data`, `type`,
`flags`/`addFlags`, extras of every `Bundle` type, and an explicit target activity —
prefer `target<MyActivity>()` over implicit resolution so the shortcut cannot be intercepted:

```kotlin
intent {
    target<ComposeActivity>()
    putExtra("draftId", 42L)
    addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TASK)
}
```

Repeat `intent { }` to build a **back stack** — the last intent is launched, the earlier ones are
what the back button walks through:

```kotlin
dynamic("deep_link") {
    shortLabel = "Order #7"
    intent { target<HomeActivity>() }
    intent { target<OrdersActivity>() }
    intent {
        target<OrderDetailActivity>()
        putExtra("orderId", 7)
    }
}
```

### Icons

```kotlin
icon = R.drawable.ic_compose            // resource id
icon(IconCompat.createWithBitmap(bmp))  // any IconCompat
adaptiveIcon(fullBleedBitmap)           // adaptive bitmap
```

### Pinned shortcuts

```kotlin
context.shortcuts {
    val requested = pinned("call_mom") {
        shortLabel = "Call mom"
        icon = R.drawable.ic_phone
        intent {
            target<CallActivity>()
            putExtra("contact", "mom")
        }
        resultCallback = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(
            context, 0,
            Intent(ACTION_PINNED).setPackage(context.packageName),
            PendingIntent.FLAG_IMMUTABLE,
        )
    }
    if (!requested) { /* launcher doesn't support pinning */ }
}
```

On API 26+ the system shows its pin-confirmation dialog and fires `resultCallback` when the user
confirms; below API 26 the legacy launcher broadcast is used. Check `isPinShortcutSupported`
up front if you want to hide the UI entirely.

### Managing shortcuts

```kotlin
context.shortcuts {
    update("compose_email") { /* new content, never publishes a new id */ }
    remove("old_promo", "older_promo")
    removeAll()
    disable("compose_email", message = "Come back later")
    enable("compose_email")
    reportUsed("compose_email")   // feed the launcher's prediction ranking

val limit = maxShortcutCountPerActivity
    val throttled = isRateLimitingActive
}
```

### Reading extras in the target activity

There is no callback interface in 2.0 — shortcut launches are plain intent deliveries. Read the
extras where they arrive:

```kotlin
class ComposeActivity : AppCompatActivity() {
    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
        when (intent.getStringExtra("source")) {
            "shortcut" -> shortcuts { reportUsed("compose_email") }
        }
    }

// If the activity uses launchMode="singleTop", also handle onNewIntent:
    override fun onNewIntent(intent: Intent) {
        super.onNewIntent(intent)
        setIntent(intent)
        // re-read extras here
    }
}
```

Treat shortcut extras like any external input: they survive on the launcher across app updates,
so validate values instead of assuming they match the current app version.

## Jetpack Compose (`shortcut-compose`)

A second artifact provides lifecycle-aware Compose bindings on top of `shortcut-core`
(the core module itself stays Compose-free):

`DynamicShortcutEffect` publishes a dynamic shortcut while it is in composition, re-publishes when
its keys change, and (by default) removes it when it leaves composition:

```kotlin
@Composable
fun ComposeScreen(draftCount: Int) {
    DynamicShortcutEffect("compose_email", draftCount) {
        shortLabel = "Compose ($draftCount drafts)"
        icon = R.drawable.ic_compose
        intent { target<ComposeActivity>() }
    }
}
```

Pass `removeOnDispose = false` for shortcuts that should outlive the screen.

`rememberPinShortcutRequester` handles pin requests with result delivery scoped to composition:

```kotlin
val pinRequester = rememberPinShortcutRequester { pinnedId ->
    // user confirmed the pin
}
Button(onClick = {
    pinRequester.request("call_mom") {
        shortLabel = "Call mom"
        intent { target<CallActivity>() }
    }
}) { Text("Pin it") }
```

### Static shortcuts and capabilities (`shortcuts.xml`)

Static (manifest) shortcuts and App Actions capabilities are declared in XML, not through this
library. Add `res/xml/shortcuts.xml` and reference it from your main activity:

```xml

<activity android:name=".MainActivity" android:exported="true">
    <meta-data android:name="android.app.shortcuts"
        android:resource="@xml/shortcuts" />
</activity>
```

```xml

<shortcuts xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <shortcut
        android:shortcutId="compose_static"
        android:enabled="true"
        android:icon="@drawable/ic_compose"
        android:shortcutShortLabel="@string/compose_short_label">
        <intent
            android:action="android.intent.action.VIEW"
            android:targetPackage="com.example.app"
            android:targetClass="com.example.app.ComposeActivity" />
        <capability android:name="actions.intent.CREATE_MESSAGE" />
    </shortcut>
</shortcuts>
```

Dynamic shortcuts published with this library can participate in Google Assistant App Actions by
matching a `<capability>` declared there; binding dynamic shortcuts to capabilities at runtime
additionally requires Google's
[Shortcuts Integration Library](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/shortcuts/creating-shortcuts#dynamic),
which this library deliberately does not depend on.
