Bookmarks


Web Apps

A web app turns a web page into an Android app, making it easier to find and simpler to use on mobile devices. A web app looks like a native app in a device's launcher. When opened, the web page is rendered in the user's default browser (Settings>Apps>Default apps>Browser app) and displayed according to the browser's capabilities.


Create a Web App 

  1. Navigate to the Bookmarks page under the Content dropdown.
  2. Click the + icon at the upper right corner 
    • Title: this will be the name of the application that will display on the launcher. It must be fewer than 30 characters, but this might be truncated depending on the size of the device. We therefore recommend using a short title.
    • URL: this is the URL the web app will open to. The URL must be HTTPS.
    • Display Mode: how the browser will display the website
      • Minimal: the URL bar is shown at the top. The system status bar and navigation buttons are visible.
      • Standalone: the URL bar is not shown. The system status bar and navigation buttons are visible.
      • Full screen: the URL bar is not shown. The system status bar and navigation buttons are hidden.


Web Clips


Web clips provide fast access to favorite webpages.


Create a Web Clip 

  1. Navigate to the Bookmarks tab under the Content tab, then choose Web Clips, and click the + button to begin creating the web clip.


  • Label: is how the Web Clip will be named on the device(s)

  • Icon: The PNG icon to show on the Home screen. If not set, the system displays a white square. For best results, provide a square image that’s no larger than 400 x 400 pixels and less than 1 MB when uncompressed. The graphics file is automatically scaled and cropped to fit, if necessary, and converted to PNG format. Web clip icons are 144 x 144 pixels for iPad devices with a Retina display, and 114 x 114 pixels for iPhone devices. 
  • Launch as a full-screen web app: If true, the system launches the web clip as a full-screen web app. 
  • Allow navigate to an external web site without showing Safari UI: Otherwise, Safari UI appears when navigating away from the web clip’s URL. This key has no effect when FullScreen is false. 
  • Allow web clip removal: If true, the system enables removing the web clip.
  • Prevent adding shine to the icon: If true, the system prevents SpringBoard from adding shine to the icon.
  • Application to open the URL: The application bundle identifier of the application that opens the URL.
