Description

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!

Questions & Answers

Q: What is an APK File?

A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.

Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?

A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.

Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?

A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.

Q: What are Android App permissions?

A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.

1 ★Doesn't work anymore? At least not on my device.
5 ★I love trains and I'm fascinated with this game!
1 ★you can only make 1 shortcut delete this stupid broken app
3 ★Great idea marred by a couple of crucial bugs. 1) If you put two tiles down of the same type, tapping either changes both. 2) I spent a few minutes creating a vast network on my Pixel C including 29 icons, but was sad to see that the train fades out after only 12 stops. Full marks for the idea though!
5 ★Great idea. Brainicon did it again!

1 ★Hated it.
