Android Question How to avoid placing app icon on home screen

Add both (or even just one of these) lines to manifesteditor

BUT the problem may persist! The point is, that the App MUST be started one time manually.

Thank you. I searched a lot before my post, but just now i found the post:
http://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/widget-without-activity-app-icon.46587/#post-287817

No icon is installed after that but in the widgetlist i see still the wrong android icon ... ? Any ideas?

If it has to be started one time, migt it be a solution, to start the app automatically after installation? Will find out, how to do that.

See attached zip´s res-folder... i use this to make a better preview-image of my widget
I dont know where i did found the info here in forum. But i found it somewhere here. Search forum

Sometimes it is not easy to find the right solution here. Tooo much information
Thank you. I will test this and reply the result here.

So, got it with your help.
The only change, i had to make for the right icon in the widgets listing was in the file : ... Objects\res\xml\mapmypos_info.xml
Here was at the end the icon info missing:
android:updatePeriodMillis="1800000" androidreviewImage="@drawable/icon" />
Unfortunately sometimes the designer overwrites this xml file and the icon info is missing again.
So i set the properties of the corrected xml file to read only and everything works fine.

The other change i had to do was in the manifest.xml to aviod showing the apps icon in the menu and to disable the ´open´ button after installation:
SetApplicationAttribute(android:icon, "@drawable/icon")
AddReplacement(<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />, )
AddReplacement(<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />, )

Now everything works fine.
Thank you for your help!
