Description

It would be good to provide the ability to create shortcuts for starting the game in either Diablo or Hellfire mode directly. This should be doable using the following documentation:

https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/shortcuts/creating-shortcuts

Additionally there should be a short cut for accessing the DataActivity so that to allow users to fetch additional language packages after installation.

Research direction
Implement Android shortcuts as documented at https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/shortcuts/creating shortcuts. Create two shortcuts: one to start the game in Diablo mode, another for Hellfire mode. Additionally, add a shortcut to launch the DataActivity for fetching language packages. Examine the existing Android app source code in the repository to integrate the shortcuts. Check the issue comments for any additional guidance.
