Is possible to create shortcuts withing apps?

by Super_Govedo

Hello,

I've been using Nova Launcher and Button Mapper for years and it comes with one handy feature which is Activity launcher. I am able to create shortcuts to any hidden app/settings and sometimes I can even make shortcut within app depending on which activities that app has.

Does anyone knows is it possible to create custom shortcut activities on Android 9 and Android TV 9?

Let's make few examples if you don't understand what I mean: Shortcut that directly opens YouTube subscriptions/watch later, Shortcut that directly opens HBO GO favorites, Shortcut that directly opens "Downloads" in any file manager etc.

Some apps already have those activities and it's pretty cool to make shortcuts with them on my Android TV Box remote control, while some apps don't have those activities at all except main one.

There is one more example, I use one app called EON TV and in order to go to "Favorites" I need to click over 8 times through UI to see Favorites list. Can I just somehow make custom activity that leads to favorites and map it with Button Mapper on my remote?

Thanks!

No the stock TV launcher doesn't have this functionality

I have heard of people using alternative launchers for Android TV but doubt any TV apps would support this since the stock launcher doesn't
