Apps Tablet Shortcut Icon Will Not Display

[lthomas]

Hi,

I've done a good deal of research on the web for my problem, including these forums, and can't find a solution to my problem. Here it is:

I'm simply trying to put a shortcut on my tablet desktop and have the shortcut display the custom icon designed for that app. Sounds easy, right? I hope it is, but I can't figure it out. I'm using an Insignia 8" tablet running Jelly Bean 4.2 and trying to run a shortcut of a index.html file created out of the File Manager. The entire html application is contained on the tablet and the shortcut-icon.png file I'm trying to reference is in the imgs folder.

Near as I can tell one of the following lines of code in the index.html file determines where the desktop icon is referenced:

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="imgs/shortcut-icon.png"/>
<link rel="apple-touch-icon" href="imgs/shortcut-icon.png"/>
<link rel="apple-touch-icon-precomposed" href="imgs/shortcut-icon.png"/>

I have tried modifying these in a hundred different ways, including adding a "sizes" parameter and referencing the appropriately sized icon, as in:

<link rel="apple-touch-icon-precomposed" sizes="42x42" href="imgs/shortcut-icon.png"/>

Still, nothing I change will display the shortcut-icon.png file. Any ideas?

Sorry this is kind of long for a simple problem, but I wanted to explain what I've tried so far.

Thanks much!
