Can't create more than one shortcut to home screen

[ae3e]

I have multiple scripts in PHONK app.
I can create one shortcut from any script to home screen. If I try to create a new shortcut, nothing happens. If I delete the existing shortcut then I'm able to create a new one from any script.

Is it not possible to create multiple shortcuts from different scripts?

I didn't find anything in logs.
Using PHONK extended and Android 5.1.1

Hi @ae3e
It seems that with newer versions is possible. I tried with Android 10 and you can create more than 1 shortcut.
I will check an older version during the weekend and see why it does not work.

Thanks for reporting it!

Hi @ae3e,
I just tried this in an emulator with Android 5.1 and I can create as many shortcuts as wanted without issues
A couple of questions to investigate this

1. are you using a custom launcher?
2. do you use stock android?
3. can you try to add a script with a strange name? :)
4. What is your device model?

Thanks!

Hi,

Thanks for your answer. Sorry to see that is related to my device config...

1. No
2. No
3. Tried some strange names (ie $45-ed#fR56) : scripts are created and ran but still can't create multiple shortcuts
4. Wiko pulp fab 4G with factory defaults (Cheap and not common phone, I guess 😕 )

I never used Android Studio but I can try some debugging stuff with my phone if needed.

When trying to create shortcuts, I got this new log file :

java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to destroy activity {io.phonk.extended/io.phonk.MainActivity}: java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'android.content.ComponentName android.content.Intent.getComponent()' on a null object reference

So I finally moved to a more recent device.... with Android 10.
Now, mutliple shortcuts work perfectly fine...
