PlayStore shortcut not working

Post by AtharKhan » Thu Nov 28, 2024 1:51 am

The main reason why I'm using this lightning launcher for close to 10 years is that it has a Go to Playstore feature like when I long press example Gmail app icon, it gives a pop up menu which includes PlayStore. If I tap on PlayStore, it directly takes me to PlayStore page of the appImage. Now this feature is not working. I'm on 14.3 Stable version. I tried previous versions still not working. My Phone is Redmi Note 9 Pro Max running Android 11 with MiUi 12.5.5.

That option opens a market intent, similar to this one:

market://details?id=com.google.android.gm

In fact internally the code that is being executed can be replicated with this script:

Code: Select all

getHomeScreen().getContext().startActivity(Intent.createChooser(Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("market://details?id=com.google.android.gm")),""))
It does work for me, maybe miui is not compatible?
Just to confirm the obvious: do you have play store installed?

I can confirm that, on HyperOS 1.0.12.0 (that is a kind of MIUI OS, a crippled Android 14 version) it is working neither.
The intent, if I run it directly (with Fast Run Tool), it works neither.
So I guess too, that MIUI is just not compatible, too much changes from pure Android.

I found it: with the LL patch community version it does not work but with the patch version it works.
I read (I think in GitHub) that scripts are not all working with the community version and the patch version is the preferred version.

Unfortunately I have the community version and to change that it is a lot of work (Tasker > LL vars, Shortcuts not working anymore, Widgets etc.)
But I will switch someday :)
