- Added preliminary support for tabs: Added config support for "categoryType" specifying "none" or "auto". None means no tabs. Auto means that we create 3 tabs - Quest, Go/GearVR and 2D. These apps types are distinguished based on package information.
- Added support in UI for showing / hiding 2D apps.
- Fixed an issue with scroll view collider: Looks like Unity UI scroll view object does not interact very well in a VR environment. This one was a doozy. I noticed, although the scroll view masks UI that falls outside its rectangle (as it should), it does not suppress colliders. This means that it's possible to interact with colliders that get scrolled above the scroll view (i.e. like clicking on a cell to launch an app when that cell is outside the scroll view). The bigger problem is that this interfered with the tabs, which are above the scroll view. After contemplating several solutions, I ended up with a simple but effective one:
// To fix this issue, we cast a ray from current pointer to the scroll view's box collider.
// If we get a hit, it means we're inside the scroll view - so we enable all the children box
// colliders, which will behave as expected.
// If we do not get a hit, it means that we're outside the scroll view - so we disable all the children
// box colliders, which addresses the issue above.
Quest App Launcher
An app launcher for Quest implemented in Unity.
Overriding app icons and names
For each installed app, we extract the default app name (PackageManager.getApplicationLabel()) and default app icon (PackageManager.getApplicationIcon()). Sometimes, however, these do not map to the actual app name and icon in the Oculus Store. In order to override this, do the following:
Override app names
Create a file called appnames.txt. Add a line per app with comma-separated package-id and desired name. Example:
appnames.txt:
com.mycompany.myapp,My Application
com.othercompany.otherapp,Other application
Copy this file (appnames.txt) to the following location on your Quest: Android/data/aaa.QuestAppLauncher.App/files
Override app icons
Create a jpg file per app with the package-id as the filename. Example:
com.mycompany.myapp.jpg
com.thirdcompany.yetanotherapp.jpg
Copy these files to the following location on your Quest: Android/data/aaa.QuestAppLauncher.App/files
Configuration
The app can be customized by creating a config.json file and copying it to the following location on your Quest: Android/data/aaa.QuestAppLauncher.App/files.
The following options are supported:
Setting Grid Size
The default grid size is 3x3 cells. The grid size can be customized by specifying grid rows and columns as in the following example:
{
"gridSize": {
"rows": 2,
"cols": 4
}
}
Source structure:
- Assets/Scenes/QuestAppLauncher.unity: The main scene
- Assets/Plugins/Android: Android-specific implementation to retrieve installed apps etc, written in Java
- Assets/Scripts: Main set of C# scripts for grid population, scroll handling etc.
