Environment
- Device: Android phone / Launcher with circular icon mask
- App Version: Latest release
Problem Statement
When creating an activity shortcut on the launcher, the icon does not scale fully to fill circular or squircle icon masks. Instead, it renders as a smaller bitmap inside a safe zone with padding around it. In contrast, shortcuts created by other shortcut manager applications fill the full canvas space properly.
Root Cause / Technical Context
The app appears to export shortcuts using static bitmaps or legacy intent APIs (Icon.createWithBitmap()) without separating background and foreground layers. Modern Android launchers expect Adaptive Icons (Icon.createWithAdaptiveBitmap() or ShortcutInfoCompat with separate foreground and background layers) to render edge-to-edge drawables properly.
Suggested Solution / Feature Request
Update the shortcut generation logic to extract layered vector drawables or build adaptive icons (Icon.createWithAdaptiveBitmap) so created shortcuts comply with modern launcher masking and safe-zone standards.
