Using UNINSTALL_SHORTCUT Intent

Question

I am trying to use the following intent action, but i get an ActivityNotFoundException in the fisrt case. And nothing at all in the second case.

"com.android.launcher.action.UNINSTALL_SHORTCUT"

I try to use it with the following code:

Intent i = new Intent
("com.android.launcher.action.UNINSTALL_SHORTCUT");
startActivity(i);

Also with the following:

Intent i = new Intent
("com.android.launcher.action.UNINSTALL_SHORTCUT");
sendBroadCast(i);

Hi Lucas,

could you please share some code snippet for uninstalling a shortcut from the Android home screen?

I've been trying to figure this one out but i'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

Thanks!

Alex
