Enable adb debugging on your device To make it visible, go to Settings > About phone and tap Build number seven times. Return to the previous screen to find Developer options at the bottom. On some devices, the Developer options screen might be located or named differently. You can now connect your device with USB.
You can use the start command from Activity Manager (am) a.k.a the adb shell am start -n command (via adb) specifying the app package name and the component name as defined in the manifest. You can add other parameters like ACTION (-a android. intent. action.
To use ADB with your Android device, you must enable a feature called “USB Debugging.” Open your phone's app drawer, tap the Settings icon, and select “About Phone”. Scroll all the way down and tap the “Build Number” item seven times. You should get a message saying you are now a developer.
Finally, you can run ADB commands on your Android device without any computer. You don't need to add adb or adb shell initializers in this app as you are already within the local ADB shell. Just run the operative part of the command and then tap the “Enter” button on the keyboard.
adb shell am start -n com.package.name/com.package.name.ActivityName Or you can use this directly:
adb shell am start -n com.package.name/com.package.name.ActivityName You can also specify actions to be filter by your intent-filters:
am start -a com.example.ACTION_NAME -n com.package.name/com.package.name.ActivityName If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
