Android Experiments - Run a train on your homescreen using the App Shortcuts API

This is an Android Experiment - https://www.androidexperiments.com/experiment/shortrain

Let the fascinating, magnificent and marvelous magic train roll on your screen!

* Requires Android 7.1 for the App Shortcuts

* Tested with Pixel Launcher and Google Launcher

How does it work?

The app starts with 2 dynamic shortcuts (Rail and Starting point). Each time you add a new rail, the id of the Rail dynamic shortcut changes and the previous id is removed, allowing the pinned rail shortcut to become independent of the dynamic rail shortcut, and allowing you to add one more rail to the screen with a different direction.

Tested with Pixel Launcher and Google Launcher

Do you find trains enjoyable? how about Android? do you like the new App shortcuts of Android Nougat? If so - then this is the project for you!
