I am trying to implement the Oreo Static Icon Shortcuts in my project.The following is my shortcuts.xml file present in my project's xml directory. I have added the proper strings in the strings.xml resorce file. There are 2 shortcuts, one that takes the user to AboutActivity and another that takes the users to the ShareActivity.



<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shortcuts xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<shortcut
android:shortcutId="About"
android:enabled="true"
android:icon="@drawable/about_icon"
android:shortcutShortLabel="@string/shortcut_short_label"
android:shortcutLongLabel="@string/shortcut_long_label">
<intent
android:action="android.intent.action.VIEW"
android:targetPackage="com.example.shortcuts"
android:targetClass="com.example.shortcuts.ui.activity.AboutActivity" />
</shortcut>
<shortcut
android:shortcutId="Pi Power Share"
android:enabled="true"
android:icon="@drawable/power_share_icon"
android:shortcutShortLabel="@string/shortcut_short_label1"
android:shortcutLongLabel="@string/shortcut_long_label1">
<intent
android:action="android.intent.action.VIEW"
android:targetPackage="com.example.shortcuts"
android:targetClass="com.example.shortcuts.ui.activity.ShareActivity" />
</shortcut>
</shortcuts>


I have also added the required metadata info in my apps LAUNCHER and MAIN activity in the Manifest.xml file. The following is the snippet of the Manifest file.



<activity
android:name=".ui.activity.SplashActivity"
android:label="@string/app_name"
android:theme="@style/AppBaseTheme.NoActionBar.TranslucentStatus">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
<intent-filter>
<data android:scheme="myapp" />

<action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />

<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
</intent-filter>
<meta-data android:name="android.app.shortcuts"
android:resource="@xml/shortcuts" />
</activity>


The app builds without any errors. I am able to install the app and the shortcuts appear as expected. However, clicking on the shortcuts doesn't launch the desired activity . What am I missing?
