Ok I kind of feel like an idiot now, I just checked and apparently on Android 10 you can long-press as well to get a menu of available devices/networks. I'm not sure whether this was already there in Android 9 or whether they introduced it later but I'm quite sure that I read the release announcements (and reviews/articles[0]) at the time and turned up empty-handed.
Just wish both had some kind of UI indicator that there's a long-press action available... it's not like people are reading mobile phone manuals nowadays, even if they existed.

- shawnz 7y agoIt works on my Android 8 device.
- spurgu 7y agoAre you saying you don't have a down arrow below the icon? I might be wrong as I said initially, I thought they removed the dropdown in 9 but might've been 8?
- shawnz 7y agoI do have a down arrow, which takes me to a sub-panel listing the devices, but also I can long press on the icon to go to the full list. Personally I think the down arrow is way too small for me to press so I always just long press the icon anyway.
- spurgu 7y agoOk then my memory was correct about the versions at least. Long-press or not, the arrow is still a great indication that there's an action besides a single click - wish everyone implemented something of the like.
- solarkraft 7y agoA lot of this works on the basis of intuition and I think that's pretty okay for shortcuts. It becomes more problematic when it's an essential path, but then again right-click-abilityis also undiscoverable.
