Most of us know how to add a home screen shortcut to an application already on your phone-just open the application drawer, press and hold the application icon until you grab it, then click on the home screen of your choice and drag it.
But maybe you want to create shortcuts to similar applications for specific folders,? If this is the case, you need to study. You should now have an Android home screen filled with shortcuts to everything you want.
Create Homescreen Shortcuts to Files and Folders
If you have important PDF documents that you want to access directly from your home screen or certain folders that you want to keep on your home screen Windows-style, then you can do that too.
- Each smartphone manufacturer has its own file-manager app with slightly different functionality, so widely used ES File Explorer.
- Once you have ES File Explorer, open it, navigate to the file or folder you want on your home screen, tap and hold on the icon, and then in the menu that pops up select “Add to desktop.”
Use Apex Launcher
If you want to add more delicate shortcuts like direct call, direct message, or even to various phone Activities, you can switch to Apex Launcher. Apex Launcher comes with this “Add Shortcuts” feature and is available when you long-press on the home screen.
