Android shortcuts (Pin Shortcuts) : how to remove the '1x1' label?

Question

I create a pinned shortcut for my app using:

mShortcutManager.requestPinShortcut(mShortcutInfo, null);

as mentioned here.

My problem is that I have a '1x1' label in the system dialog box displayed by Android as shown below:

My question is : how to remove this '1x1' label ? (I have also no idea what it means...)

Thanks.

Answer 1

What is that "1 X 1"

---

"1 x 1" is just like the ratio of space it will take. All the app icons take up a space of 1x1. It can also be taken as the ratio or height and width. 1x1 = 1:1(here). This will mean that height is equal to width and thus, the space taken will be in the shape of a square.

How can we remove it?

---

This label can NOT be removed as it is a part of the OS which helps the user know how much space it will take. There is NO way it can be removed.
