Maybe y’all can help.
Maybe y’all can help.
I’m wanting to set the ’long tap’ action of an icon to open a URL in my default browser.
It appears there is no plug & play option for this. Is it possible, via a simple script, and if so, might someone be generous enough to write it for me? (I’m completely JavaScript illiterate.)
Also, if I’m missing a built-in way to set a shortcut to a URL, please enlighten me. This would be even better than a script.
Thank you.

TrianguloY wrote a script for someone how it worked was 1 tap on the shortcut opened a certain website and 2 taps let you edit what website it opened. Might be worth a looksee

LL.startActivity(i);

alert(“No Activity found to handle intent”);

There is a plug&play way :
Just choose Launch a shortcut and then Web shortcut on any event😉

Is that a Chrome shortcut? I disabled Chrome and use Opera, and I don’t have that option under shortcuts.

Bruno-Isa LAMOUR-ARNOULD I don’t see”web shortcut” either, & I’m using chrome. Michael P. Jackson you can open a url with the app “more shortcuts” https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ss.moreshortcuts. I think it’s free. Just choose “launch a shortcut” but select more shortcuts, then select bookmark & type the title & url.

bahrta sai, this solution works!
Jay M, I appreciate the scripting help, but JavaScript is so foreign to me, I’ll stick to plug & play, whenever possible.
(I can’t even look at it and say, “Ah. I see what you did there. That’s clever.” I have basic knowledge of html, CSS, and a couple others…but Java & JavaScript might as well be Cyrillic or Hebrew, to me. SO LOST I’M NOT EVEN SURE IF I’M STILL IN MY OWN SKIN. LOL)

Michael P. Jackson I’m not good with JavaScript either, just html/css. That’s how I found more shortcuts.

I’m on Pro, but I think I left beta. So… that could be.

Hi I use opera, I can create a link to Url directly from browser. You should click on the menu (near to web address) and click add to home screen. It’s the only way I can help you, I know how to create simple scripts only in linux. 😉

Michele Borrini you can do that with chrome too. The OP wanted to set the long-tap of an existing icon to open a url, not simply add a new shortcut.

I tried setting the action for an item’s long tap, to “run a script” and designating the script you posted above.
It generates an error on line 2.
With a working script like that, even I could copy & paste, change the URL (in the script), and give each version its own title in the script editor.
I’m Java-stupid… not total-tech-stupid.
LOL
