Is there a way to find the home screen directory?


How can I get the path of a folder in the home screen?

My problem is that I can't think of away to get the path of a folder in the home screen. Let's say i have a folder with some applications in it that I see it on the home screen.I want to get the path of the folder.


Solution

  • Assuming you are talking about the default Android Launcher (which can be replaced) you are making on major mistake:

    You assume that Android home screen works like the Windows Desktop - which is wrong.

    In Android the is no such think like a desktop folder, therefore the "home screen directory" does not exist.

    The apps on the home screen are usually database entries managed by the launcher which is itself an app.
