I am working on an Android app and want to display a menu with some data about the app on a similar menu when you do a long click on the app logo in the main menu of the phone, like the one the YouTube app has, or other Android apps when pressed down.

I am working on Android Studio, and I've searched different sites for info on how to get to the menu, by default the android apps show a menu when long clicked, in which you can choose whether you want to delete the app or something else. I want to know how to access that menu.

At least I want to know the name of the menu so I can do more research, but if anyone knows how to interact with it, it would be great.

  • If I'm understanding you correctly, I think you mean [app shortcuts](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/shortcuts.html). – Mike M. Aug 18 '19 at 02:37

they're called Android App Shortcuts, this could help you answer your question How to create shortcut within app in Android?

Good luck! :)
