Writing apps/programs for pine phone
#2
  • First you'll need a desktop file that gives the OS the information about your App.

Example of desktop file:

[Desktop Entry]
Name=Your Apps Name
Type=Application
Comment=Short Description of your App
Icon=/home/YOURUSER/MyApps/App/App.png
Exec=python3 /home/YOURUSER/MyApps/App/MyCoolApp.py
Categories=Games;
Terminal=false

  • Now save that as a desktop file: MyCoolApp.desktop
  • Next make a small icon for your App.
  • Once you have those 2 files and your App files in the same folder, put all of it somewhere like /home/YOURUSER/MyApps.
  • Finally move your MyCoolApp.desktop to /home/YOURUSER/.local/share/applications
