Create Android App That Acts As A Shortcut To Our Mobile Site
This is possible and fairly easy.
Your application would be a single Activity. That activity would create a new intent based on the info here on the google intents. The intent would be of type VIEW_ACTION and you'd give it an url as a value. Then you'd simply do:
onCreate(Bundle bundle){
Intent myIntent = new Intent(Intent.VIEW_ACTION, Uri.parse("http://www.google.com"));
startActivity(myIntent);
}
The rest of the exercise is just wrapping that with the AndroidManifest.xml and putting it into the market.
The alternative would be to provide a webview, but, thats pretty pointless if your website is designed to function in a mobile browser already.
Uri uri = Uri.parse("http://www.example.com");
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, uri);
startActivity(intent);
Add to your androidManifest.xml file ..below line
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
