@jameszahary very cool, be sure to place this on github and we’ll gladly shout out your work.
I looked at that a while ago, but the Shortcut manipulation library arrived in Android with API 25 (Nougat 7.1), but my phone is still API 24 (Noughat 7.0), and my phone company has not released the Noughat 7.1 or Oreo 8.0 yet. So waiting for updates, or taking the plunge on a new phone.
Why don’t you test it with simulation in android Studio ?
