#CREATE APP SHORTCUT FOR ANDROID#

Shortcut Utility is a Windows tool that quickly creates shortcuts for Enterprise Browser apps for Android and Windows Mobile/CE and can deploy them directly to devices. On devices running Android, EB shortcuts also can have separate icons. On Enterprise Browser, each shortcut can contain a separate start page for the app and also can link to a custom config.xml file with as many runtime settings as required. Depending on the app, some shortcuts can even invoke some of the app's functions, such as the phone dialer or sound recorder. Shortcuts on a mobile device are small files that launch an application with a set of specific settings contained in the shortcut file.
