A few requests for Appstarters / .desktop entries

[boredsquirrel]

Really useful are

• an Appstarter starting the session
• one stopping the waydroid session (otherwise it runs in the background all the time right?)
• deleting waydroid
• Starting the gui
• maybe starting ADB
• an integration installing Android apps

These are partly really easy, but of course depend on the Distro. I will use Fedora as examples:

# Install apk
printf """[Desktop Entry]
Exec=waydroid app install
GenericName=Installs Apps to the Waydroid container
Icon=install
Name=Android app install
Type=Application""" > ~/.local/share/applications/waydroid-app-install.desktop

# Close Waydroid session
printf """[Desktop Entry]
Exec=waydroid session stop
GenericName=close running Waydroid instance
Icon=system-shutdown-symbolic
Name=Shutdown Waydroid
Type=Application""" > ~/.local/share/applications/close-waydroid.desktop

chmod +x ~/.local/share/applications/*

# start Waydroid
printf """[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Name=Waydroid start
Exec=waydroid session start && waydroid show-full-ui
X-Purism-FormFactor=Workstation;Mobile;
Icon=/usr/lib/waydroid/data/AppIcon.png""" > ~/.local/share/applications/waydroid-start.desktop

as far as I know only the start is implemented somehow, but requires Waydroid running in the background all the time.

Most of these functions are taken care of through the use of Waydroid-Settings
