As we established over in git-town, I don't know what I am talking about in the Android realm. But a really superficial scan through ShortcutInfo and PersistableBundle left me with the impression that it might be possible to have an app shortcut that wasn't just essentially an alternate entry point into the code but that it could possibly persist configuration data inside the shortcut which would be returned to or accessed by the app when the shortcut was invoked. So, assuming I am not way off base here, it would seem possible (some would say unwise, I know, but, humor me) to create a shortcut that included {I want to start a scan, [preselecting identity 'MeMyselfAndI'] [pre-filling Alt-Id 'sengsational said:I'm a bit baffled about how this would line-up with the way things currently work (app doesn't know what site it's scanning until after it scans). But this sounds like it could possibly be an interesting additional feature. It might be best to have a thread in the grc sqrl forum to flesh it out how you see this working, starting out with a detailed use case description, where the user's intentions and actions are listed out in detail.


If I have completely misconstrued the capabilities of a shortcut, I will invoke the great Emily Litella.
