Create Launcher Android app

For instance, I'll do with my app named MZA

Step 1: Copy MZA app to directory /mydroid/packages/apps/

Step 2: Create Android.mk file with content

LOCAL_PATH := $(call my-dir)

include $(CLEAR_VARS)



LOCAL_MODULE_TAGS := optional



LOCAL_STATIC_JAVA_LIBRARIES := libarity android-support-v4 guava \

                                                                     android-support-v13 \

                                                                     android-support-v4 



LOCAL_SRC_FILES := $(call all-java-files-under, src)



LOCAL_SDK_VERSION := current



LOCAL_PACKAGE_NAME := MZA



include $(BUILD_PACKAGE)

include $(call all-makefiles-under,$(LOCAL_PATH))

Step 3: Modify AndroidManifest.xml of Launcher2 application

             <intent-filter>

                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

+                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />

-              <category android:name="android.intent.category.HOME" />

-                <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />

-                <category android:name="android.intent.category.MONKEY"/> 

            </intent-filter>

Step 4: Modify AndroidManifest.xml of MZA application

            <intent-filter>

                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

- <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />

+

+                <category android:name="android.intent.category.HOME" />

+                <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />

            </intent-filter> 

Step 5: Rebuild Android.

Note: Need to ensure all the picture need for app is in /Mza/res/drawable-* directories.
