PREAMBLE
This probably doss not rank as a tutorial but then it is not a question either - so tutorial it is.
The following is the result of my attempt to get my head around the Android Chrome and iOS Safari browsers "Add to Home Screen" capability - i.e. the ability to save a website's bookmark as an icon on the host smartphone's home screen.
In the exercise I test what icons actually get used - with results somewhat different to what I was led to believe would happen - see BROWSER TESTING TO DATE.
The exercise basically adds the "Add to Home Screen" capability to Alain's introductory ABM template:
https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/t...-absolute-beginners-update-2024-05-02.117237/
And uses Alain's suggestion as a starting point:
www.b4x.com

ABMaterial - can not get "add to home screen" to work with my icon
On your Android or iPhone, if you launch Chrome or Safari then search for "www.b4x.com" then find "Add to Home Screen" and follow the breadcrumbs you end up with the websites bookmark as a nice little icon on the home screen with the B4X logo in it. Tap it and you are immediately at the website...
