Capturing shortcuts on Galaxy S10

Post by Redtetrahedron » 20 Jul 2019 13:34

I am no longer able to capture shortcuts in the Launch Shortcut action on the Galaxy S10. If I try to save a shortcut from Evernote, for example, Automagic no longer pops up and says that it has captured the shortcut. I was able to do this on my old S7.

It is limitation since Oreo 8.0. viewtopic.php?f=5&t=6943
Automagic action Shortcut can not intercept shortcuts built in other apps anymore since this part of Android has been changed and only the default Launcher receives the created shortcuts. You either have to use the button Build Shortcut when the other app supports this or you could try to build a shortcut by using action Launch App or Start Activity by manually defining the required fields.
Use Start Activity with the data uri appropriate to the app.
