launch waydroid app from game mode
bazzite-deck-gnome:stable | lenovo legion go
Waydroid launches fine from game mode, but I can't figure out how to launch a particular android app from game mode. I'm running android 11, if that matters.

You can't
Got it in desktop mode... Testing gaming
No dice on gaming, the below only works on desktop mode :/
1. Install app
2. Right click application, click Edit Application.
3. Go to Application tab, and copy the arguments. Close window.
4. Right click app again, click Add to Steam. Don't launch yet.
5. Edit Properties. Paste the arguments.
6. Play app in desktop mode

show me your shortcut in steam
Idk how to push the arguments to the launcher verison, so it fails to open in GM.. One sec
need to see the path
you should not need to add any arugments
and the video youir posted is completely non-applicable here
you didn't follow our install guide
we use /usr/bin/waydroid-launcher in gamemode
and again, we do not support direct launching of APKs
only the entire waydroid stack
yeah
Is this at all planned in the future?
no, you can launch waydroid as a whole from gamemode and then launch the app
