   How to create a one-tap shortcut directl

   From: mariond@facts.com   
      
   How to create a one-tap shortcut directly to the Google Maps   
   "Use precise location" toggle?   
      
   I already put into my homescreen shortcuts folder, one-tap shortcuts to:   
    Settings > Location > Location services   
   and to the one-level-deeper toggle for...   
    Settings > Location > Location services > Google Location Accuracy=on/off   
      
   But now I want a shortcut to the far more difficult deeply-ensconced   
    Settings > Apps > Maps > Permissions > Location > Use precise location=on/off   
    adb shell pm revoke com.google.android.apps.maps android.permis   
   ion.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION   
    adb shell pm grant com.google.android.apps.maps android.permiss   
   on.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION   
      
   1. I'm on a USA Samsung Galaxy A32-5G which is not known to be rootable.   
   2. I have Developer Options & USB debugging enabled.   
   3. I have adb installed on Windows & set up for the phone.   
   4. I have Llamalab's Automate & Jens' Automation (but not Tasker)   
   5. I have Shizuku enabled (over USB Debugging).   
   6. I have Muntashirakon App Manager (which creates shortcuts to activities)   
   7. I have  Shortcut Widgets & Inspector &  Intents   
   8. I have  Instant Intent &  Intent Launcher   
   9. I have  Intent Viewer &  IntentTask   
   10. I have  QuickShortcutMaker &  Quikshort   
   11. I have  App Shortcuts &  App Shortcut Maker   
   12. I have  Shortcut Master Lite &  Shortcuts   
   13. I have  Shortcut To URL &  Website Shortcut   
   14. I have  Activity Launcher &  Activities   
   15. I have  Shortcut Creator &  ShortcutExecutors   
   16. I have  Shortcut Maker &  Pinned Shortcuts   
   17. I have  Activity Manager &  Shortcutter   
   18. And a few other debugging tools (e.g.,  local adb ladb)   
      
   I found the activity that I needed to make a one-tap shortcut to.   
   A. I turned on the  Shortcut Widgets & Inspector   
   B. I toggled Settings > Apps > Maps > Location > Use precise location = on   
   C. Shortcut Widgets & Inspector told me this activity was invoked:   
         
   D. In Muntashirakon, I created a homescreen shortcut to that activity   
   E. But tapping it just flashed (because only the system can invoke it)   
      
   So we can't invoke it directly perhaps, but maybe we can get close?

   I am not here for my ego; nor for my amusement; but to teach & learn.
