How do I run a function on press?

[templatetuners]

I don't really understand the intent, can you add a description or a demo for how can I run a js function when I press on a shortcut?

Also setDynamic must run each time when you open the app, or 1 is enought, than when you want to update/change the shortcuts you have to run it again?

Thanks

Any way to do this?

I hope my experience with the plugin is useful to you.

I don't really understand the intent, can you add a description or a demo for how can I run a js function when I press on a shortcut?

This is an example code to set the shortcuts, I use a similar one in my App.

async function setShortcuts() { // Async function is optional

	if(window.cordova.platformId == 'android')
	{
		window.plugins.Shortcuts.supportsDynamic(function(supported) { 

			if(supported)
			{
				var shortcuts = [];
				
				shortcuts.push({
					id: 'search',
					shortLabel: 'Search something',
					longLabel: 'Search something',
					//iconBitmap: '<Bitmap for the shortcut icon, base64 encoded>',
					//iconAdaptiveBitmap: '<Bitmap for the shortcut icon, base64 encoded>',
					//iconFromResource: 'module', //filename w/o extension of an icon that resides on res/drawable-* (hdpi,mdpi..)
					intent: {
						action: 'search',
					}
				});

				shortcuts.push({
					id: 'news',
					shortLabel: 'News with Id 9999',
					longLabel: 'News with Id 9999',
					//iconBitmap: '<Bitmap for the shortcut icon, base64 encoded>',
					//iconAdaptiveBitmap: '<Bitmap for the shortcut icon, base64 encoded>',
					//iconFromResource: 'module', //filename w/o extension of an icon that resides on res/drawable-* (hdpi,mdpi..)
					intent: {
						action: 'news',
						extras: {
							newsId: 9999, // Custom extras are also supported (boolean, number and string only)
						}
					}
				});

				window.plugins.Shortcuts.setDynamic(shortcuts, function(){}, function(err){});
			}

		}, function(err){});
	}
}

And this one to get the events when opening the shortcut.

function processShortcutstIntents(intent) {

	if(intent.action == 'app.package.name.search')
	{
		// Open search page 
	}
	else if(intent.action == 'app.package.name.news')
	{
		if(intent.extras && intent.extras['app.package.name.newsId'])
		{
			var newsId = intent.extras['app.package.name.newsId'];
			// Open news page
		}
	}
}

if(window.cordova.platformId == 'android')
{
	window.plugins.Shortcuts.getIntent(processShortcutstIntents); // When the App is opened for the first time using the shortcut
	window.plugins.Shortcuts.onNewIntent(processShortcutstIntents); // If you open a shortcut once the App is already open
}

Also setDynamic must run each time when you open the app, or 1 is enought, than when you want to update/change the shortcuts you have to run it again?

Currently I generate the shortcuts every time the App is opened (With a delay and an asynchronous function), so I cannot help you with this.
