  • How can we write homescreen application? Springboard layout is the one where we can see all the applications on Android device. I think its Iphone term. For example there is an application called sweeter home in Android market. Also, can you let me know how to develop our own homescreen application? – sunil Oct 01 '10 at 04:52
  • @sunil: "How can we write homescreen application?" -- there is a sample Home screen app in your SDK. Look in the `samples/` directory. It is mostly a matter of adding the `HOME` category to an activity's ``. "Springboard layout is the one where we can see all the applications on Android device." -- that's the "launcher". – CommonsWare Oct 01 '10 at 11:50
  • @CommonsWare The term "springboard" is Apple iOS terminology for the home screen. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/841640/iphone-what-is-springboard-do-i-need-to-care – gonzobrains Apr 30 '13 at 20:59
