Open two Apps with one Shortcut? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey I needed to open two apps that work in conjunction but I was curious if there was an app that could create a single shortcut that could open them both simultaneously?

Did you find a solution? I'm looking for the same. Also both of the apps should be exited at the same time.

You can use Tasker app.
With Tasker you will create a task.
Then you will create two "Run App" command in this task and select app you want.
And then you will create shortcut of task you created from widgets menu.

There's no native way of doing that. What you're actually after is an application in itself, that can be configured to run 2 apps for you. You then run that.
one of the possible options is to use MortScript, simple script could look like this:
Code:
RunWait(PATH_TO__APP1, APP1_PARAMETERS)
...

autostarts tips

I just bought autostarts... and I'd like some tips on how to use it. If anyone is kind enough to guide me, it'd be great.
I put this in the sticky.
Open it, let it run it's course.
Press menu and hide the system apps and expand all.
Go through each event and tap/disable the apps that you do not want to open on either boot/a particular event. Obviously some apps need to open (ie if you use handcent, you would not disable it for sms items)

[Q] Adding app shortcut to home screen

So I am new to Android and the Thunderbolt, but am an old hat with Windows Mobile. I figured out how to add icons (either widgets, apps etc) to the home screen. However there is one app, or function of an app that I would like to add that I can't figure out. I use Exchange for work, and at this time I am manually syncing it, because of VPN issues. I noticed that there is an app listed in the recent app list called "Exchange ActiveSync" I would like to add that directly to the screen, but I can't find it listed anywhere under either apps or widgets, or as a shortcut to a specific feature. Can anyone tell me how to find and add that to a screen as a shortcut? Thanks.

[Q] Problem with Module Tap on icon

Hi!
I want to create my own Zoooper widget, but i have problem with tap action.
I create (for example) a rectangle and set module ontap to specific app. But it won't open this app. It opens the widget configuration.
After setting ontap action for the whole widget to Disabled(Locked), it does nothing.
I have tried it many times, but without succes. I watched many tutorials on mycolorscreen channel on youtube and i think, i'm doing it the right way.
But why it's not working?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Make sure that the rectangle is on top of all other items. Then it should work.

How is your widget configured? Is it just the rectangle? If not, try removing all other modules, leaving just the rectangle. What app are you trying to open? If you set the entire widget to open the app, does it work then? It might be something that's blocking the module, or it could be the app.
Tks!

How to create shortcuts within apps?

Hello,
I've been using Nova Launcher and Button Mapper for years and it comes with one handy feature which is Activity launcher. I am able to create shortcuts to any hidden app/settings and sometimes I can even make shortcut within app depending on which activities that app has.
Does anyone knows is it possible to create custom shortcut activities on Android 9 and Android TV 9?
Let's make few examples if you don't understand what I mean: Shortcut that directly opens YouTube subscriptions/watch later, Shortcut that directly opens HBO GO favorites, Shortcut that directly opens "Downloads" in any file manager etc.
Some apps already have those activities and it's pretty cool to make shortcuts with them on my Android TV Box remote control, while some apps don't have those activities at all except main one.
There is one more example, I use one app called EON TV and in order to go to "Favorites" I need to click over 8 times through UI to see Favorites list. Can I just somehow make custom activity that leads to favorites and map it with Button Mapper on my remote?
Thanks!
