- If I open Simple Favourites from the Program Add-ons window, and then try to open a favourite to ActivateWindow(programs,"androidapp://sources/apps/",return), the shortcut doesn't open.

- I put a shortcut to a Simple Favourites folder on my home screen. When I press back, it goes up to the root level of Simple Favourites (the parent of the folder) instead of going back to the home screen. Is there a way to achieve this?

I don't really know. I have had a lot of problems trying to work out how to open links in the right windows and return.
spoyser is the master at this sort of information but some idiots upset him and he left. Hopefully he will return someday.

I don't know how much you know but the possible window ids are here:
http://kodi.wiki/view/Window_IDs
I use 10001 for programs in the code. Maybe it needs a special one for Android that isn't listed there.

The ActivateWindow return parameter should get you back to where you started. I'm not sure where a top level shortcut really thinks it is.

Let us know if you find out.

If you return None from the base route (/), pressing back on a screen will directly exit:

Code:

@plugin.route('/')
def index():
    #folder_path = "special://profile/addon_data/%s/folders/" % (addon_id())
    #return index_of(folder_path)
    return None

It seems the behavior of the back button when you are at a page like "plugin://plugin.program.simple.favourites/xxxxxx" is to go to "plugin://plugin.program.simple.favourites", which displays the list of folders in your current implementation. If you have some kind of setting to return None instead, it will exit rather than display the list of folders.

I've been testing it out and starting a migration from super favourites which my setup relied on to integrate addons into widgets. Would it be possible to add an option for fanart and a description for each item in the same way change image is in the context menu? I've tried editing the xml to add the fanart and description but cant seem to figure it out. It doesn't seem to follow the same format as super favourites did. If that's outside the scope of simple favourites I totally understand but if you know of the format or how we could do it manually through the xml I'd be ever thankful!

Thanks again for all the work!
