How to Make Shortcuts of App Widgets
Android smartphone users have the ability to create shortcut widgets to applications on their phone's home screens. These shortcut widgets, when tapped, open the application as though the user had opened it from the application drawer. You can add these shortcut widgets for applications you use on a frequent basis, giving you fast access to these applications when you wake your phone's screen.
