I am trying to develop an android custom launcher like ADW launcher.

So, have been searching for some good information.

Most of the questions/answers found in google and Stackoverflow are about how to make an application work as a launcher. But I want to know how I should actually start developing a Custom launcher.

Can anyone please guide me the fundamental steps and resources to develop a Custom launcher.

  • Questions not _directly_ relating to code are off-topic on Stack Overflow. I think Google would be the best place to find an answer. – The Guy with The Hat Jan 06 '14 at 19:05
  • Try learning from already existing Launcher code like ADW (which is open source). – JoxTraex Jan 07 '14 at 04:53
  • Thanks, JoxTraex, am working on it. – Sam Moir Jan 07 '14 at 05:13

  • @Sam I really have no clue how that question survived. Personally, I think this question is far better than that one. – The Guy with The Hat Jan 07 '14 at 13:03
